“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” ~John Lennon
Happy Birthday to one of my favorite people to ever inhabit this planet. His presence is forever felt.
“I do not belong inside the concrete jungle where the air grows thick with fumes and destruction. I belong where I can feel the earth with my bare feet and the rivers flow peacefully beneath the lush trees and their melodic friends. I belong with nature.” ~Anon (from Waking Wonder)

“The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.” ~Samuel Adams
“All that makes you fragile and fierce and clever and powerful and wounded and creative and layered and thoughtful and moody and spiritual and wild and damaged, can be described in one single word: lovely.” ~Beau Taplin, Lovely for all that you are.

Happy Equinox :) And I will also be celebrating the end of one of the most intense Mercury retrogrades I have experienced. Hallelujah!
“The word “equinox” derives from the Latin, meaning “equal night.” As we enter the Fall here in the Northern Hemisphere, we reflect on the seeds we planted in Spring and prepare for the dark months ahead. We remember to bring our interior world into balance now, paying attention to dreams, honouring creativity and deepening relationship. Let us consider what wants to fall away & what still needs nurturing, and CELEBRATE the bounty of our yields.”

“When the wild life bird sings inside your soul at the beginning of each sunrise, whispering her truths, where does she tell you to go? What does she tell you to do? Follow her guidance. Your day is a gift to be opened, an adventure to be unravelled.” ~S.C Lourie

“Transmuting the struggle of pain into the creative force of love is the highest form of universal art.” ~Yung Pueblo

“She was a galaxy, not one planet, she was a forest, not one tree. She was an ocean, not just one river. But the world had taught her to close and be as small as could be. But she woke up one day, longing for that little girl. Who knew she was living in a small corner and not her entire inner world. And so she slowly unlocked each door, deciding she wanted to play, live, go wild, no longer hide… And that girl was finally free, the one who carried a dancing universe of galaxies, forests and oceans inside.” ~S.C Lourie

“Life is truly what we choose to make of it. I believe that amazing things in life are the result of our unique abilities to imagine and work boldly towards results. I believe in the inner child inside of us and the amazing power of the universe who simply awaits for our ability to entrust in it.” ~Edi Santos
