Can You Feel It?
“It seems to rise unexpectedly: a sense of lightness upon hearing the birds singing; a sense of wonder touching the petals of a flower; a sense of inward laughter when you’ve done something silly; a sense of resonance when in deep conversation; a sense of warmth while watching a young family playing in the park. Yet did you not experience these things before? Of course: there have always been birds, and flowers, personal missteps, conversations galore, and countless families on their outings. But something is different. Can you feel it? Call...

“If you can be anything, be yourself. If you can do anything, serve others. If you can dream anything, dream big. If you can feel anything, feel love. If you can see anything, see beauty. If you can hear anything, hear harmonies. If you can say anything, say simply. If you can understand anything, understand others. If you can learn anything, learn compassion. If you can create anything, create peace. If you can offer anything, offer kindness. If you can follow anything, follow your heart.”To your Happiness,Kita
read moreYou do Not Have to
“You do not have to respond if the argument escalates. You do not have to defend yourself if the accusation has no merit. You don’t have to participate if you have to take a side. You do not have to go if the destination is not to your liking. You don’t have to buy something if you don’t want it in the first place. Being forced is not pleasant; wanting is. Give yourself permission to say “No” when a feeling of force, intimidation or threat surrounds you. Herein lies your power, your sovereignty of being who you are. You are not scripted or...
read moreTranquility
“In the midst of upheaval, uncertainty and challenging circumstances, the rising sun peaks through the blinds and signals the birth of a beautiful day. The mist is rising in the distance, the sky a clear baby blue. No clouds dot the horizon, and you can see this panorama unfolding well beyond the horizon. The trees have begun their colourful dance of yellow, orange and red unfolding but there is no inkling of cold. In fact, the warmth of Father Sun promises an exquisitely warm day – like summer yet the playful leaves tell otherwise. A truly...
read moreShow but Do Not Tell
“No one likes to be told what to do whether they are two or 90 years old. You may be seeing things and witnessing circumstances that are painful: that you wish to change or improve. Yes, do send intentions to those in these situations but try to refrain from instructing, telling, lecturing, convincing the other party what to do and how to do it. If anything, who and how you are will convince them that following your lead may be an effective solution to their distress. It is by showing who you are that people are most influenced not by what’s...
read moreDid You Really See It?
“The light flashing out the corner of your eye; the colored orbs like clusters of grapes hanging in the trees; the pale figure leading you out of the woods; the cloud suddenly a spaceship: did you really see any of these things? Was your mind playing tricks or was your imagination running away on you? Was it a late night or too early a morning when eyes can unintentionally deceive? A so lucid dream that you thought it real. Where do you sit with all of this? Have others told you, you are crazy? Perhaps you have held it all inside to...
read moreAt a Loss for Words
“Have you ever been “at a loss for words?” The sentence itself carries an old style of speaking, doesn’t it? It’s a figure of speech: you can’t translate it word for word, but you understand it because its meaning has been explained to you or used in a context that you can appreciate. Perhaps you haven’t been able to find the words to use in a sensitive situation. At someone’s funeral for instance or during a heated conversation or while looking at a breathtaking sunset. It seems heightened emotions cause you to search for suitable words you...
read moreVitality
“Vitality denotes “physical or mental vigour, an energy where there is power to continue in existence, to live and grow.” Strength of being seems to accompany vigour for it also implies a courageous state of staying the course when circumstances are challenging. Though winds of adversity may blow, you in your life energy, persist – beyond survival to flourishing. Vigour leaps over stagnation, inertia, indifference, boredom, despair and demands a realm of self-directed passion, tenacity, patience and resolve to reach your mark whatever that...
read moreEase
“It flows fluidly without constraint: like a clear stream of water from a mountain top. Though there are rocks, the water curves itself naturally around any of the hard obstacles as if they were not there. No stopping, jarring, interrupting, just a steady flow of ease – sometimes so quiet, tranquil and calm that it is barely noticeable. But its absence is duly noted for from the vacuum created, a stress emerges that ease does not know. They are strangers to each other until they do meet, and when they do, stress seeks out ease to care for and...
read moreSchedule? What Schedule?
“With the overlapping of circumstances, situations, occasions, prospects, possibilities, opportunities, any kind of schedule seems to have fallen by the wayside. What is planned is in mind but when the heart, serendipity, spontaneity, and synchronicity step into your picture; frame, grid, connecting points, convergence melt away and profound presence assumes their place. Never forceful or pressing or pleading but emerging in a state of serenity, flow and grace, this feeling of exquisite presence makes the idea of a schedule totally...
