Inner Peace

"Inner Peace is not about sitting in quiet 24 seven,

it's not about going to the mountains,

the ocean, or anywhere you think you can get away from it all.

As your connection to your essence deepens -

your perception of life changes.

You're playing a new note....

one that resonates with the flow of

life... peace... stillness... love"

--- Marlise Karlin

Everyday Life

"Everyday life is our spiritual practice -

all the little moments of our daily life,

how we live, and how we treat ourselves and each other.

We advance on our path not by great giant strides,

but rather by small patient steps that lead to strength,

joy and wisdom.

Growth takes time,

but one day you wake up and gasp with delight

at how much you have grown and how far you have come!"

--- Angela Paul

Nothing to Say

Setting a Goal
