Save us from ourselves,
Save us from the vengeance in our hearts
And the acid in our souls.
Save us from our desire to hurt as we have been hurt,
To punish as we have been punished,
To terrorize as we have been terrorized.
Give us the strength it takes
To listen rather than to judge,
To trust rather than to fear,
To try again and again
To make peace even when peace eludes us.

My repeat song for the week. Soulfulness.
We must actively search for our voice, and clear a path for it to emerge. It is uncovered, not manufactured. We may not even like what we discover at first, but by embracing it we will position ourselves to occupy the unique space for which we’re wired.
All the world’s a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed. All the world’s a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.

Just being with my family makes me happy … We have fun together as a family. … We have bonding time and we say prayers together. … They are my inspiration. As long as we are all healthy, I am happy. There is nothing better than that.

I loved reading this quote. I’ve Been missing my family from being away and it helps put things into perspective amongst all the craze. “Just being with my family makes me happy.” Simple.
Best way to start off a Sunday: Yoga, beautiful company, and a John Lennon song. Grateful for moments like these.
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.

Muhammad Ali with the quote of the day!
love love love this!
Nobody cares
if you can’t dance well.
Just get up and dance.
Great dancers are not great
because of their technique,
they are great because of
their PASSION.

Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.
