In the winter I turned seventy
Spirit said to me
The planets are aligned
It’s time to make it clear
~
Stop your pondering and wondering
What you have to do
Take your time, slow down
Notice things anew
~
What you should be doing now
Is clear as light of day
Keep touching other peoples lives
To guide them on their way
~
Share the gifts you have been given
Be open to the new
Listen for life’s lessons
You must keep learning too
~
Souls need love and understanding
In these shocking times
Reach out and touch an other’s heart
Together you will shine.
~
You are here to make a difference
Let there be no doubt
Be present to it all and still
It’s not yours to figure out
~ Val T Boyko
Well, I guess I have been told! This definitely feels like a new chapter. Inspiration has touched my heart and soul.
In my forties I discovered my dharma has always been to learn, grow and share. Yoga and coaching were the paths I chose. In my fifties I forgave others and myself, and found healing. I began this blog and discovered the joy of writing from the heart. In my sixties I awakened to the Source of all being and the healing power in me. As I enter my seventieth year I choose to make a difference every day and follow the calling of my soul.
Namaste


Beautiful, Val. And Happy Milestone Birthday! 💙

It is crazy . . . and so incredibly weird! Sometimes I have to tune it all out (or at least dial it down to a dull roar). This week, I will focus on what fills me with joy and light as we wait to see what the New Year will bring. Namaste.

when I turned sixty I wrote the following song lyrics: Well I’ve written down
Written down
Written down
All the things that I’ve done
And I can’t say that any have saved
The one I’ve become
Yes I’ve changed
Yes I’ve changed
Yes I’ve changed
From when I was young
But I’m sixty now
Yes I’m sixty now
And time just goes faster
And faster
And faster
Each day
And the clocks on the wall just remind me I’ve something to say
Do it now
Do it now
Do it now
There is no replay
And you”re sixty now
Yes you’re sixty now
So arrange
Yes arrange
Please arrange
All the things you have stored
And the label will say if it’s good
And how long it’s good for
Throw away
Throw away
Throw away
The bitter and sour
And keep what is good in today
If it’s only an hour
Cause you’re sixty now
Yes you’re sixty now
Yes your sixty now
