floating lotus

Enjoy this ditty 💐

break free
Blissing out
is not what it’s about
Tuning in
is where to begin

Accepting the good and bad
what makes you sad and mad
are portals to awakening.

Embrace the highs and lows
for this is where you grow.
Find your middle ground.

Pause, open and release
Connect to inner peace
To keep you safe and grounded
when life becomes confounded.

Take care of yourself
Wishing you good health
and a happy new year
beyond the good cheer!

    A beautiful nutshell of awakening, Val. You root the journey not in “blissing out” but in tuning in to the full range of feeling… not an easy thing to do, but finding that steady middle ground and connecting to inner peace, especially these days, is not easy. A great thought and message to begin the new year!
