I look outside my window and am mesmerized by the blaze of glory that is Fall! In this moment of quiet contemplation, it is difficult to believe that snow will soon begin to fall. Can the year have unfolded so quickly?
For many, this is a time to pause… reflect… and identify all that has filled the soul and leads the way into a more expansive tomorrow.
Today, I am surrounded by people I love and who love me back. As I write those words, I am mindful that this day is, in truth, no different from any other in that way. I am truly blessed and perhaps, that is the foundation from which all else can take form.
I am thankful for a life filled with the riches of a flourishing mind; a vast and alive Space that allows new thoughts to seed and take root, leading to new possibilities in a world so desperate for these to emerge.
I am thankful for the interconnectivity that surrounds me and expands with every passing moment… of every passing day. The ‘more’ that is the ground from which these interconnections breathe life into themselves and into all that they touch, is boundless and without measure.
I am thankful for the ever-increasing waves of great courage and determination that I see swelling on the horizon! As these are fed by the winds of change and move toward the looming shoreline of ‘what is’, the potential that rides on the crest of this tsunami will indeed, leave a new world in its wake.
I am thankful for and stand firm in the deep knowing of who I am and why I’m here. As all morphs and shifts around me; as perceived threats and challenges build momentum and become the great agitations that will, hopefully, awaken us to the willingness and ability to act… I know I am here to touch the Awakening Mind of another, that those who choose to awaken differently may do so. I am committed to The Call; and I trust that those for whom it is meaningful and relevant, will hear themselves in its vibration.
Below, I’ve included a link to a piece that I recorded long ago and that, in my perception, remains timeless. Like gratitude and appreciation, it never grows old!

Reading your post and listening to the recording was a gift of a pause that I gave myself today and a soft reminder of noticing abundance everywhere! Although I am surrounded by beauty and live on this lush island, I still can become caught up in daily living and forget to stop, breath and allow my cells to saturate in the beauty of my creation:) Mahalo for your words and the gift that you are and have been to me and this remarkable community.

Aloha Angela!
I thought of you much earlier, today, as the warmth of the sun, in a cloudless blue sky, brought me back to Paradise! One of these days….
And here you are! Just goes to prove that geography is in no way a limitation to connection. 🙂
Hugs to you and yours,
Louise
