Inspiration ~ Durga Maa
Ignite in me the luminous strength of integrity. Initiate me Mother, into a sisterhood of dignity. I am willing now, at this time of turmoil and endless distraction, to take my sovereign seat among the wisdom keepers.

I‘m attracted to comfort. There’s a magnetic pull towards comfort that’s so pervasive I’m hardly aware of its influence. What I’m discovering, however, is that my peak life experiences are never found squarely in comfort. They aren’t found in discomfort either. Rather, my peak experiences are found somewhere balanced on the edge. Peak experiences are those times that excite me and scare the heck out of me. It’s something I want to experience, but I’m anxious or scared – not sure I’m up to the challenge or discomfort. It’s usually something I’m excited about and boldly say, “Heck yes! I’m all in.” And then days or weeks later wonder, “What was I thinking? Why did I agree to this? Am I really going to do this?”

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.
All of the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light from a single candle. St. Francis
Loneliness is something that most of us experience at some time in our lives. The feelings of detachment, seclusion, and not being understood associated with loneliness can usher us into restlessness and a painful hunger for connection. We may find ourselves wondering if we can ever find a sense of loving connection again. For relief, we may turn our search outward and struggle to nurture relationships that aren’t uplifting or joyful. We may start new activities or distractions that provide only temporary comfort.
