Beautiful! My grandmothers cure for everything when I was little was a 'cup of tea' in dainty china tea cups of course...interesting to note that we never talked much just sat in the sunroom sharing tea...yet I always felt better!

Really love today's meditation. At least once a day I need to be reminded to come back to the present and am always grateful to be placed 'right here, right now!' Someone in my T'ai chi class once shared a quote at the end of class. She said 'As o...

About me
I'm all about the following:
Compassion, Balance, Love, Nature, Animals, Birds, Music - all good things in this life.

I'm a retired teacher (secondary school) and I'm certain that my students taught me more than I taught them.

Now that I'm retired, I've expanded my journey into Inspiration. I guess I wish to go with the flow in life. Since 1987, I have been studying/following Buddism. What a most wonderful gift!

My husband is planning to retire in December. I'm so pleased that he is now getting involved in Holistic Healing!

Our passion in life is nature and animals. We are devoted music-lovers.

A Prisoner's Story

Forced to Sit, by Scott Darnell


A prisoner's story of finding compassion on the inside.

But I was one of more than a hundred inmates—for us, looking up was forbidden.

We had our hands cuffed behind our backs, and for every pair of us there was a tactical team memb

The Origins Of Tea - A Lovely Story



Bodhidharma's eyelids and the origins of tea


Awareness comes through sensitivity. You have to be more sensitive whatsoever you do, so that even a trivial thing like tea... Can you find anything more trivial than tea? Can you find anything more ordinary than tea? No, you cannot--and Zen monks and mast

A Buddhist Poem - "The Path"



The Path

Best of the paths is the eightfold,
best of the truths the four;
best of the virtues is freedom from attachment;
best of the people is the one who sees.
This is the path;
there is no other that leads to the purifying of insight.

Follow this path, and Mara will be confused.
If you follow this

Prayer For All Sentient Beings



Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I m
