The universe continues 
to unfold in each moment.
Let it.

Ask yourself
What am I trying to control?
What am I resisting?
See what comes up.

Take time to pause
Listen to the inner wisdom.
Trust it.

Mistakes and challenges 
are fuel for growth.
Learn from them.

Embrace whatever happens
Nothing has gone wrong.
Be open.

Life continues 
in cycles of highs and lows.
It isn't personal

    You offer me some great writing prompts for my journal. The last stanza really spoke to me. I have been grappling with this idea since a couple of months ago when it was suggested that I might have bipolar disorder. Disorder? Does not nature itself cycle, withdraw and blossom, go dark and then light? I do not see such cycles in nature or myself as being a disorder. Hmmmm. You offer me food for thought. Thank you, Val.

    These may be my favorite words of the new year ~ “The universe continues to unfold in each moment. Let it. … Life isn’t personal.” You’ve parsed such feelings and emotions is such a small space with your words, simply beautiful.

      Thank you Randall. We get so caught up in the words that grab our attention and trigger old responses and beliefs. It’s so important to give ourselves time to pause and simply observe and sense into what is happening around us, and how it lands within us.
