I feel as though people do not always take the time to fully communicate with each other. Is it because we are afraid to hear what someone else has to say? Is it because we are afraid to expose our vulnerable places and spaces to others? When we communicate with loved ones, we find communion…
“Communion is the root word in communication, reminding us that to communicate with another person isn’t to pass on information.” ~ Deepak Chopra: The Path to Love

Being in the now is a daily task. One can not simply decide to be in the now and then think that they will be in that space without working at it. It is a practice and like all practices, it takes commitment and work. Nature is always a grounding space for me to take myself out of my self and find the quiet within that is necessary to stay grounded and focused on the now.
At times when I can’t get outside and spend time in the vast expanse of my favorite grounding place, the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, I find a favorite photo of my church, as I call the Refuge, and I open my heart space meditating on the photo.
I remind myself daily that happiness is a choice. Some days are easier than other days, on the path to being the now and that is okay. With daily practice, I have found great comfort in the knowledge that I am responsible for my feelings and actions. Practice makes perfect… While I am no enlightened master, I do know I grateful for the enlightenment I receive in the now.

As the sun sets on the horizon it is always a good time to contemplate the day and affirm the good with gratitude and release the bad with the setting sun. Each day we go through situations that are good, bad or indifferent. Releasing the negative with setting sun, sets up the next day to start with a clean slate.
Releasing the negative with the setting sun also clears the evening of negative thoughts and energy and enables the spirit to relax and renew for the following day. I prefer to release the negative with setting sun, so that I have clear mind and heart for a time before bed.

Today, I celebrate all that I have accomplished in my life. I acknowledge and affirm that my life is an ever evolving creation and I welcome all of the new opportunities and experiences that come my way. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

Today, I re-mind myself that in the daily living of our lives we must recognize that acceptance, compassion and uunderstanding is a must for all. Nowhere do I look, where I do not see those in need of these three basic tenents: acceptance, compassion and understanding. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul —
And sings the tune without
And never stops — at all.
– Emily Dickinson
