Today, I re-mind myself that to believe in myself is the first step towards achieving my dreams. I affirm this belief in my-self everyday and I re-mind myself that I can do anything I set my mind to for I am driven and tenacious. I know I cannot sit back and wait for my dreams to come true, I must set my intent and go out and make my dreams happen. ~ Namaste… Pamela

“Being fully present isn’t something that happens once and then you have achieved it; it’s being awake to the ebb and flow and movement and creation of life, being alive to the process of life itself. That also has its softness. If there were a goal that you were supposed to achieve, such as “no thoughts,” that wouldn’t be very soft. You’d have to struggle a lot to get rid of all those thoughts, and you probably couldn’t do it anyway. The fact that there is no goal also adds to the softness.” ~ Pema Chodron

Today, I re-mind myself, My Life Is Rich. I lead a life that is full and rich, and I am blessed with many opportunities to blossom and grow daily. I am grateful for the change and challenges that come my way for they are opportunities to learn. My life is filled with many blessings, large and small. I greet each day with gratitude. Namaste… Pamela

“Considering the inherent limits of the finite human mind and our nearly inexhaustible capacity for self-deception, we may actually be closest to the truth when we remain acutely aware of our ignorance.” – Sam Keen – Hymns To An Unknown God

The Boston Globe names Crane Beach in Ipswich one of New England’s Best Beaches. It is great to see this local beach made the list:
We happen to love Crane Beach, with its undulating dunes and secret maritime forest, and so do the folks at NationalGeographic.com. They hailed it as one of the Top 10 US Family Beaches. “Calm waters, warm tidal pools, and on-site amenities such as a snack bar . . . make this an ideal destination for families,” they noted. Not to mention the pure powdery-softness of the sand, and the cool views of the Great House, rising over the beach.
I know Crane Beach is a fabulous beach for the reasons the Boston Globe cites, warm tidal pools and powdery soft sands but for me there is a beach that rises above the cut of all of New England’s Best Beaches and that beach has a view of Crane Beach. (more…)

We all have our sacred places… This is one of my most sacred…
“A place becomes the sacred ground
of my being only when I have tended
and enjoyed it long enough for each
spot and inhabitant to have a rich
history of associations and stories.”
– Sam Keen: Hymns To An Unknown God
