Energize the Inner, Empower the Outer.

Your Self is a mountain to be scaled. We begin as novices but the higher we climb the more experienced we become.

Recreation, recreate, create again, and again, create yourself.

Sometimes it’s the hardest thing in the world to not measure yourself by someone else's yardstick.

As expectation moves out, happiness moves in.

Time is a precious jewel and life is its setting. Cherish it because you can't bank it.

Don’t reprimand the past but pave the present for the future.

Fantasies are really treasure chests in our minds.

Let go & everything will flow. Try to control and nothing will roll.

There is an exception to every rule, except this exception.

There is no right or wrong only intention.

True love makes better lovers.

The cure for loneliness is drinking the elixir of self-love.

Love is a journey and if we wonder where it will end, we will never travel.

The lack of touch causes skin hunger.

Day is done. Night’s begun. Pastels descend from heaven pulling a dark indigo curtain closed. Time for peace and rest. Tomorrow will bring busyness again.

Each one of us is a gift; from the universe to our self and from our self to the universe.

Vacations build memories that help weather the storms of routine.

Love is a miracle worker for the lonely.

Memories are the back roads of my mind. Traveling down these country lanes, the thoughts of love are gently worn.

We spend years looking for that big pot of gold only to discover it can’t be found in our wallets but in our hearts.

Live a life of intention and your light will shine all by itself.

Be a Dream Weaver. Become a Dream Catcher. & Always Remain a Dream Keeper.

I went inside myself to have a look and didn’t come out for a very long time.

Life is like ice cream. You have to lick it up before it melts away.

I am a trysexual. I’ll try anything once, just for the opportunity to increase the depth & richness of my life experiences..

Life is a question and we are the answer. How will you answer your life?

Your head might echo with everyone else’s voice but your heart speaks with only one voice, your own.

Take a bite out of life as if it were a fat juicy apple.

We were all born individuals but some of us repress it in order to condemn those who express it.

Life is a series of shed skins. Don’t be afraid to outgrow your current layer…

Don’t tame your flame. Let it glow wild.

Keep your attention on your intention.

Creativity turns mediocrity into magick.

Boredom is the sign of intelligence that has nowhere to go.

If expectation moves out, happiness can move in.

The more gratitude you generate, the sweeter your life becomes.

Feel with your eyes. See with your skin. Love with your mind and think with your heart. Use all your perceptual receptacles to track your Truth.

All fruits come from seeds and bear seeds. The Fruits of our Labors grow from the Seeds of our Dreams and the Fruits of our Labors grow new Dreams that begin as Seeds.

Blaze new paths while walking in balance and temperance. Blue blazes burn red hot.

When we judge others we are putting a huge banner for all to read on our wall of separation that says “I don’t approve of myself”.

Sometimes humor cloaks the cold naked Truth in acceptable attire.

Great Spirit has created many cultures, creeds, and countries on this Earth in order to provide reincarnating souls a variety of playgrounds to learn on. However, many incarnated souls think their playground is better than everyone else’s and that causes war, slavery, genocide, and many other horrors. Our hope lies in the Age of Aquarius that will bring souls to the planet with the memory of having lived many different lives in different ways and these memories will counterbalance the horrors with empathy, understanding, and loving-kindness.

Our thoughts are like lightning rods that attract what we are feeling. Our bodies are like grounding rods that are nurtured by Mother Earth. If we empower them equally, we will come into balance and right relationship. Then the Universe will shower our souls with the gifts of peace and joy.

It’s a new day! What wonderful gifts await? Let me open each moment as a present and delight in the life I have.

It is not another person’s love that opens your heart, but your own love of self. Don’t die from an unused heart.

If you think someone is stuck it may only be that they are going in a different direction or at a different speed than you think they should be.

So light, soul bright, be the fuel for my flight, soul light, so bright! So light, soul bright, light my way through the night and fly with me through my life, soul light, so bright!

The joy of Christmas is 99% anticipation and only 1% satisfaction.

Make everyday a holiday. Give yourself the gift of gratitude.

Keep peeling away the layers of your story and at the very heart you will finally expose a pearl, your enlightened Self. And like peeling an onion, the process will cause tears but think of them as the cleansing process that they are.

Be a dream weaver. Become a dream catcher. Always remain a dream keeper.

Bearisms beget more bearisms. Let me ply you with palatable platitudes.

Talking trash is air pollution, too.

I seem to be practicing il dolce far niente, the Italian art of doing nothing! The long list of do-its sits left unattended. Help me, I've fallen in my easy chair and can't get motivated...

There are over 2700 different languages in the world but only two that are universally understood: Love and Hate. Which of these do you choose to speak?

Let life wash you in a tsunami of joy.

Expectation is like spitting into the wind. You are going to get a big saliva slap back at ya.

You have inside all you need to survive. But don’t just survive, thrive! Be alive!

The path to success is not trying to ride on the coattails of someone else but breaking away to blaze your own way.

You can turn your life into a playcation by viewing the world through the eyes of your inner 4 year old and using the Joy piece to move around the board game of Toyopoly.

Hollow hearts grow hard crusts but full hearts are pink, puffy, and pounding.

Kundalini, like a coiled snake, when aroused, crawls up the spine one chakra at a time and strikes the mind.

Birthdays are for reviewing the dreams that came true and for dreaming the ones that still will.

You can’t get there unless you know where you are going but you often don’t find out where you are going until you start out. The journey is about coming home but not arriving as the same person that left.

Light a fire before you expire.

May today's insight draw upon the hindsight of experience to create wise foresight.

The world needs more introspection and less extrospection. When we intropsect, we reflect on ourselves we see great improvement in others reflected right back at us, however, when we extrospect we reflect on others and our judgment tends to jump out.

No true loner is ever lonely when alone because Life is his true lover.

Judgment is used as a separation tool to isolate yourself from others but it’s really you looking directly into a mirror and having your own unhappiness reflected back at you.

When in pain you feel the moments in between the moments. Time, the only healer, doesn’t budge! But when in joy you desperately hold on to each moment with greased hands. Time, the great jokester, slips right through them like water passing through a sieve.

Time is like sand dropping through an hourglass. Each grain falls at the same rate but the level remaining disappears faster and faster as it nears the end.

The human heart is the most resilient organism in the world. It can be bruised, beaten, broken, and rejected, yet it will rise like a phoenix, still bleeding, enshrined in ashes, yet with a spark, that with passion, can be rekindled, and once again will burst into flame, the burning fueled by love. The human heart will do this over and over, continually fed by the spring of eternal hope.

If the human heart were an army, no battle would be lost. If every cell in the body was human heart, it would never succumb to disease. If the economy were a human heart, no fortune would be lost forever. And if the world were full of human heart, no child would be unloved, no adult would be lonely. Yet we are…

Art is a product of love and love is an art.

Make art of the little things so stop and paint the roses.

It’s ok to color outside the lines and if you’re having a down day, take a big crayon and color the blues yellow.

At every moment Divine Timing (aka Destiny) is presenting us multiple options but it is us that ultimately have to choose which path for we are each blessed with free will.

When we are able to express our honest & authentic feelings we become free to find the inner peace we seek.

While it is true that no person can heal another and each of us is responsible for our own healing, we can all be healing facilitators. We can't deny the fact that we all need healing or we would not be incarnated. And we all own the ability to facilitate healing whether its ourselves, our family, our friends, or our clients. In fact healing ourselves has a ripple effect that eventually influences the entire universe, past, present, & future, ancestors and descendents.

Paint me peace of mind, paint to pass the time, ease my mind, easel eye, a picture with life the poser, complete my composition.

May all your life experiences converge into one great gift that you will give to the world.

Life is a mirror of whatever my mind conjures up.

I’m an old soul. I don’t follow rules well. In fact there is only one that is sacred: To not cause harm to anybody or anything.

What is done is done. What is not done is not done. But what is not done can be done tomorrow. And what is done can be undone yesterday? Based on quantum physics, Reiki, and shamanism, yes you can step out of time, go back and heal something that has already happened.

Don’t manifest drinking from the fire hose if you can’t handle sipping from a fire hydrant.

You will find excellence and depth of character in those that reside on the fringe not in those that are in the middle of the masses.

Today is the good old days of tomorrow so enjoy!

At any time we can shift our consciousness from being the victim “kicked out of the Garden”, as the 3 Abrahamic religions teach, to being empowered to create our own enchanted Garden.

The key to keeping sanity is creativity. The key to creativity is altering our notion of sanity. We must look to artists to broaden our biased horizons.

The poet does not invent new life situations or innovative ideas and emotions rather he observes, then records from a fresh viewpoint.

A poem alone is an unfinished symphony. Music engulfs the emotion of poetry and celebrates it. A body alone is unfinished symmetry. Dance turns the body into a ballet and celebrates its grace and sensuality.

To make time slow down, sit and watch it move.

Hermit hearts are hearts on hiatus.

Loneliness is a volunteer project.

Hermit is a cocoon so that one can heal one's wounds alone. But one day it is time to venture back into the world, flying free, and shining one's light.

I know I am loved even if it's only me doing the loving.

It’s Spring Time! The crocuses spring up when most needed and the tulips cry out “Tiptoe through us!” When you see the daffodils you know spring has sprung! When you smell the ‘scent’ of hyacinths, you know spring has arrived. Very soon the gladiolus will be saying “So ‘glad’ its summer.” The petunias will invite you to ring around their posies and the poppies will glitter like gold on them there hills.

Energy ebbs and flows, one day its high and the next its low, but this I knows, and you remember too, as it flows, the low always goes...

Trust is like money. Once you’ve stolen someone’s trust, it’s almost impossible to pay it back.

Don’t label others because they are continually evolving. Today they are not who they were yesterday.

Using the F-word is a barometer of your internal anger level. The more you use it, the more frustration you are feeling.

The Infinite Onion – no many how many layers you peel away there is a new one exposed, and most of them make you cry.

The brighter the Light, the darker the Shadow.

Better to take your own luck than that of someone else because you never know.

Shine your light for others but keep your own bright.

Don’t wear a fake face.

Envy and jealousy is punishing ourselves for not feeling good enough or worthy.

Beingness is far deeper than the layer of skin that houses your physical body.

An affirmation a day keeps the doctor away.

If it fits, just don’t wear it, wear it with flare.

Don’t fight flow.

Learning is a lifelong quest.

On a clairvoyant day you can see forever.

The only possessions you can take to your next life are the knowledge, wisdom, and love you have learned in this life.

In facing your fear to be free, move from self-destruction to self-construction.

You have to take the medicine before you can give it to others.

Speak up. Speak out. Speak loud. Speak your truth. Speak with boundaries. Speak with no shame.

Chocolate gives good mouth orgasms.

Variety is the spice of life.

Relight the pilot to your heart’s passion.

When you open your mouth it allows people to see inside you.

Life is brief. There is no time for grief.

Sometimes a small drop of reality can pollute an entire well of imagination.

What you don’t say speaks louder than what you do say.

Celibate is simply celebrate without the “r”.

A Scientist lives by the code: Seeing is Believing. A Psychic lives by the code: Believing is Seeing. But a Shaman lives by the code: Seeing & Believing, there’s a difference?

I may be tied to a particular place but my mind wanders away and afar.

Communication is the language of the mind, Music is the language of the soul, and Love is the language of the heart.

We are all born with a heart that needs to love, hands that need to create, and a soul that wants to make music.

The big 5-0 it s the turning point between have-to's and want-to's. Instead of doing the ought-to's you start doing the should-have's.

The bad times make the good times seem better.

Its not that I don’t have enough money, it’s that I have too much want.

A day without my books is a dull day, indeed.

I'll be there tomorrow but will tomorrow be there when I get there?

Being in love is like looking in a mirror. The beauty you see in the other face is a reflection of your own joy.

Strength is keeping one step ahead of everyone else’s moves. Wisdom is dealing with those moves when they are made.

Too often we hate when we should be loving. Too often we love when we should be praying.
