“A major difference between care & cure is that cure implies the end of trouble. If you are cured, you don’t have to worry about whatever was bothering you any longer. But care has a sense of ongoing attention. There is no end. ”
I Was Just Thinking...
I was thinking this morning, how fabulous it is to live this life knowing exactly who I am.
Don’t you agree?

Carolyn Myss on Biography Becoming Biology
“Every thought you have had has traveled through your biological system and activated a physiological response. Some thoughts are like depth charges causing a reaction throughout the body. A fear, for instance, activates every system of your body: your stomach tightens, your heart rate increases, and you may break into a sweat. A loving thought can relax your entire body. Some thoughts are more subtle and still others are unconscious. Many are meaningless and pass through the body like wind through a screen, requiring no conscious attention, and their influence upon our health is minimal. Yet each conscious thought— and many unconscious ones—does generate a physiological response. All our thoughts regardless of their content, first enter our systems as energy. Those that carry emotional, mental, psychological or spiritual energy produce biological responses that are then stored in our cellular memory. In this way our biographies are woven into our biological systems, gradually, slowly, every day.”

Let's Take a Collective Breath
We all have an inherent power that when honored reminds us that it’s not about how much stuff we acquire, how big our houses are, or how line-free we stay as we venture towards our later years. It’s about how much we love & are loved. Are we daring with our loving proclamations? If not then why not? Do we offer our feelings up for those we love to receive? Maybe the better question is “Are we clear on what we feel?” :O Can we stop the distracting madness of the day to say to those we love—
“Wait! Let’s take a collective breath, see the beauty that is right here, right now and remember why we are here.”
