Surrender…………..

Recently I’ve engaged in the act of surrendering.  Some times we get caught up in our own agendas, schedules, comparing our life to the status quo and our daily “to-do” list.  With so many resources and technology at our finger tips it is easy to create our own world.  When we step out of our world, whether by choice or force, more variables present themselves that may conflict with our schedule.  This conflict may bring about unexpected change and the unknown.  The simple act of surrendering and trusting in the universe can ease a lot of suffering and pain.  Trust yourself to believe in the power of surrendering, surrender to your true self.

Asking for directions

There is a story I've been meaning to share. When I first moved to San Francisco I was lost on the 38-bus line. I missed my stop and needed to find out where I was. I asked the bus driver if we pasted the Fillmore stop. He smiled, as the stop was quite a ways back. I had no idea where I was and needed help. Many offered help and detailed explanations of how to get back, but there is one individual that I will always remember. I just heard his kind strong voice with clear directions.  When I turned around I noticed he was a blind. Directions from a blind man got me to where I needed to be. :)

Home is where the heart is developed

I am ending my two week visit home.  It was an awesome and inspiring visit that made my heart stronger.  Visiting with friends and family always warms my soul and gives me a chance to connect closer to myself. Love is always & forever!!!

Intro: Live life to the fullest

Hello: This is my first attempt at blogging as a way to connect with the world. I feel there are many people out there who believe life is beautiful and treasure the journey of life. My want and need of this blog is to honor the simple things in life.  It is simplicity that brings people together and makes life’s journey full. 

Volunteering is a simple yet powerful way to connect with people, community and the world. Today I experienced a great day volunteering for the Eat Real Fest Eat Real Fest at Jack London Square in Oakland.  Organized by Slow Food Nation I was encouraged to slow down, enjoy the moment and be mindful of what I eat.  The event highlighted the simple acts of hunting and gathering the fruits of the earth to make a wealthy meal. Simple, yet incredibly delicious! Just another experience of living life to the fullest!
