Some gentle and wise words

Let us be at peace with our bodies and our minds. Let us return to ourselves and become wholly ourselves.

Let us be aware of the source of being, common to us all and to all living things.

Evoking the presence of the Great Compassion, let us fill our hearts with our own compassion — towards ourselves and towards all living beings.

Let us pray that we ourselves cease to be the cause of suffering to each other.

With humility, with awareness of the existence of life, and of the sufferings that are going on around us, let us practice the establishment of peace in our hearts and on earth.

-Thich Nhat Hanh

Silence doesn't always mean nothing is happening...

In fact, I notice, that when my son is quietest, he's most likely to be up to something.

This week I've been working on getting myself out into the work force again. My focus has been inward on rejuvinating my wardrobe, designing my new business card, revising my resume and mission statement and prepping for a conference I'll attend next week.

All is well and we'll see where my efforts lead me.
