There are times when nature reminds us that not all places are hospitable and real danger exists unless we are fully prepared...more than just physically. The same is true when we decide to face our wounds, hurts, and heartbreaks.  The rewards of taking these journeys can be immense; although few are without sacrifice, turmoil, and tumultuous periods...perhaps equal to the peace we find.

What is this a photo of?  On this first day of winter, I wanted to share the gift of perspective. By shifting your vantage point, looking through another's eyes, or changing your story, your life will change dramatically...even though nothing external to you has changed. This is what it means to step into your divine self, for you are creating everything.

As the landscape changes form and enshrouds itself in leaves and snow, nature reminds us the time is ripe to journey to our inner cave. The stillness of growth on the exterior can be harnessed for interior exploration and expansion.

There are times when multiple phases interact on the same plane. The connection is dramatic and can move us towards understanding our own dynamic states. When concocting the physical, emotional and spiritual elixir, it is about proportions. When coalesced just right, a masterpiece unfolds that moves us...as we are bathed in divine grace.
