Daily Life
The Rocking Chair
I wish I could take America and put it in a big round circle of Rocking chairs and say let’s sit for a spell… Let’s grab a lemonade, or hot tea or cold tea, whatever you choose and TALK!!
While we’re rocking and calming down, let’s truly talk…. let’s open our hearts, open our ears and listen to one another and talk.
A LOVEly Garden
Imagine if we all decided to plant the seeds of love… Of listening… Of compassion… Of understanding… How much better we would feel… How much better we would be… And how much more beautiful the world would be!
I challenge each of you.. every time you see a flower.. to think about where can YOU plant that seed of love,acceptance, understanding, compassion and listening.

They resist any change in the routine. They show obsessive and ritualistic behavior and so on.
