In spite of all the fun adventures I've had with my new friends during my 3 months in Kauai, I have also spent time working towards my original goals of Reading, Reflecting, and Rejuvenating. It hasn't been all 'fun and games", but life here has been fruitful and productive in many ways.
Two books which have helped me tremendously are:
"Learning to Fall: The Blessings of an Imperfect Life", by Philip Simmons
"Blessings: Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life", by Julia Cameron
Both have provided words of wisdom that allow me to be in a place of happiness, health (physical, mental, and spiritual), and wholeness. I was broken, but no longer.
A quote that speaks to me from Henry David Thoreau: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler." What a great observation.
During times of great sorrow this CD was a blessing: "Dakshina", by Deva Premal.
No matter what your struggles and sorrows are there can be peace if you take the time to look within.
Blessings for a happy, healthy and loving 2012 ~
