Is It Not a Miracle?
“Is it not a miracle that an appointment is cancelled when you don’t feel like going; when you find a quarter on the floor to make up the change you need for coffee; when a car pulls out just as you are looking for a parking spot; that a person happens to open the door when your arms are full; that the museum is free on the day you visit; that the clouds clear for your afternoon picnic; that you spot a safety pin to fix the hem of your dress; that you have washed the pants you want to wear tonight; that your kids call to tell you how much...

read moreWait for the Good Things
“Moving too fast may trip you up. Spilling your coffee, forgetting your phone, distracted from birdsong or a beautiful sunset, are little things that can be easily corrected. However, if speed is a constant in your life, big things that cannot be reversed may cause you regret. A hasty email full of criticism, a downstairs tumble necessitating a hospital visit, an unfortunate consequence due to perceived judgment or unfounded hearsay. Wait, be still, give yourself time, practice patience, observe, count to 10, strive for the bird’s eye view...
read moreTurn on the Light
“Turn on the light as you get up. Open your blinds – your curtains – to see what the day looks like. Is there plenty of sunshine yet? Or maybe it’s cloudy and you hope it’ll clear up soon so that you can be in the light. Outside you seek the sunny side of the street where the warmth has already dispelled the morning’s coolness. At the coffee shop, you put your computer on the table where the lighting is good. Turning it on, you see the screen light up – the connection works just fine. Your name is called and claiming your brew, you...
read moreCan You Hear What I Hear?
“Remember the game where each participant sitting in a circle would pass on what they heard from the person sitting beside them? The sentence was whispered from one “ear to another” until it made its way to the last person in the circle. Everyone always had a good laugh comparing what was the original sentence to what it had morphed into during its circuitous journey. You may hear accurately or even see clearly, yet the lens of your unique perceptions can magnify, even distort, what you are hearing or seeing. Take the time to listen and...
read moreFinding Your Way
“Remember the times when you were trying to find your way? In a new high school that had so many hallways, you didn’t know which one to take? A parking garage with umpteen levels: you were on seven but to get to it took you up and down several times; meeting your friend in front of a coffee shop while visiting them – no cell phone to locate them; the memory of being at a train station wishing you could jump the tracks to get to the right platform; and terminal panic running what seemed like kilometers every which way to get to your gate on...

“How I love your beingness, your presence, your partnership, your friendship, your love… Your encouragement, direction, guidance, counsel, advice, your cheerleading! Your help, but especially your support for those who have been and continue to be named, who need your care in the circumstances they face.

read moreKita’s Gentle Message: Nourishing and Nurturing
“Do you gulp down your food? Are you standing at the kitchen counter while taking bites of your toast? After all, there’s no time to sit down most mornings. Is the Drive-Thru a familiar, fast, and convenient destination? Is snacking an “always” partner to sticking on the remote? Somehow these “eating” scenarios don’t equate with nourishing and nurturing food. The latter takes thoughtfulness, time, and care to experience and generate genuine pleasure. The words “nourishing” and “nurturing” don’t just apply to food. How you eat may be a...
read moreAbundance is Yours
“” Oh, you shouldn’t have”, “That’ll be too much trouble”, “What’s this for?”, “I can do it myself”, “Don’t bother”, “I didn’t really do anything”, “I haven’t got the time for this now”, “Let’s do it when the weather’s good”, …all these small, incidental expressions deflect the experience of receiving, and more likely than not, the experience of receiving some form of abundance. Whether an unexpected gift, a compliment, a favour, an invitation, saying “no” – even politely, is stopping the flow of abundance in your life. If passing on...
