      Thanks for being here Sue. I too have acupuncture tomorrow after teaching and before a coaching client meeting. It’s all good when we can bring space into our days for self nourishment 💛

    Beautifully descriptive Val – words and image. Love the vulnerability and the sheer mystery in the image.

    That’s good advice. I don’t want to go swinging from one extreme to the other. 🙂

    “Taking time for yourself” ~ I think the longer one takes in life to realize this, the harder it is to do…but so important to go all in 🙂

      Yes indeed Randall. Although I found I was in my 50’s when it really sunk in! I hope you reach this understanding sooner than I did 💕

    Off to the beach to have a sketching day with the kids, holidays are here Val so time to myself will be rare, except for my mornings of yoga. That will see me through the hectic holidays. Have a great day.

    That song is one of my favorites, Val. Beautiful image and yes, life does seem to swing to and fro like a pendulum. But every pendulum has a still and silent pivot point…

    Peace

I’d love to hear from you …

● About Me

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
