Today, I re-mind myself… My life is rich. I am grateful each day for the challenges presented in my life, for they are lessons to learn by. And I welcome every new opportunity that manifests in my life, for new opportunities also provide the opportunity to learn and grow. My life is filled with many blessings. Those blessing are sometime great and sometimes small. My life is rich…

I put a lot of stock into the power of positive thinking. It is a mainstay for me, as I make my way through my life each day. I’ve had my share of ups and downs, good times and bad times, and often it seems the struggles out weigh the easier aspects of life. I am perhaps my own worst critic, as most of us are. I am far less self-assured than friends and acquaintances think I am.
In fact, I have to re-mind myself throughout each day, that I have the strength and courage to do anything in this world that I set my mind to. I can be that first flower in Spring, blossoming in the sun.
Namaste… Pamela

“Today, I re-mind myself that it is never enough to simply sow your seeds. Like all things growth requires care and attention. I take care each day to nurture my constantly growing and changing garden.” – Pamela J. Leavey

Every flower is the perfect reflection of petals of life that unfold on our journey. Nature holds so many lessons for the enquiring mind as we move through our lives. As we take time to appreciate nature, we are in fact taking time to appreciate ourselves and give up our striving, even for a short time, in effort to be one with all of the abundance around us. To walk in nature is to walk in gratitude for life.

Walking in nature takes the spirit back to its primordial existence and reunites the mind, body and soul with the very essence of being. The seeker always finds truth in nature for nature defines the cycle of life in its most basic form. A flower buds, then blossoms and wanes. Its season may be short or long, its existence is fragile, just as our own. We are gifted with nature’s rich abundance all around us. But it is up to us to preserve, protect and give reverence to nature in return for the gifts it gives to each of us.
When I walk along a flower lined path, in the midst of magical forest, I am one with every living thing on that path. My heart harkens, my spirit soars, my mind fills with inspiration. I am blessed.

Walking is an exercise in contemplation for me, whether I walk alone or with a friend, my mind traverses the path in front of me and delves into the deepest thoughts in my mind. I am reminded of the words of Sam Keen on walking in his seminal book, Hymns to an Unknown God
