A Bountiful Moment
Do not watch the petals fall from the rose with sadness, know that, like life, things sometimes must fade before they can bloom again.
Daily Thought
Change is inevitable. Your life journey will bring beginnings and endings. How you look at them and transition through them will keep you living in the past or embracing the future with hope and optimism.
Daily Practice
Look at today as a new beginning. What can you let go of that no longer is of service in your present life. Let it go and make room for the new you to shine.
Have a Great Day and Believe in Yourself!

Patheos-Pagan: Following The Hoof prints Of The Old One
Elder Spirits Surviving the Centuries
In traditional witchcraft we seek to emulate the rituals and wisdom of Witches who came before us. History has not been kind to followers of the Old Ways, and that is reflected by the form currently taken by the patron of our Arte. I think the idea of a single-unbroken chain of wisdom or tradition of practice that has been passed on throughout the ages is an idea that we as modern practitioners can finally put to bed

Inner Journey
LIFE AS A MIRROR
“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
— C.G. Jung
We get clues about our unconscious programming if we watch our reactions, responses, feelings and thoughts about other people and events. Ask yourself: How do I judge or stereotype people? What pushes my buttons? What makes me angry or fearful or sad?
The outer incidents that trigger these reactions in me simply MIRROR my own nature. If I didn’t have beliefs around the issues that upset me, where would my reactions come from? If I didn’t have some internal reference, I wouldn’t react at all.
When outer events spark a reaction, we need to look inside to explore what’s going on.
“We discover in ourselves what others hide from us and we recognize in others what we hide from ourselves.”
— Vauvenargues

A Note from the Universe
Have you noticed that the more you hurry, the slower you go?
The more you wait, the longer it takes?
The more you worry, the less you dream?
But the more you live, love, and laugh, the more you live, love, and laugh.
Weird?

Daily Wisdom

Love
“Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness… the energies of love. Then, for the second time in the history of the world, we will have discovered fire.” -Pierre Tielhard de Chardin
Is there anything more powerful than love? Love is creative; with love we can accomplish anything. With love we have accomplished everything! Love is the great up-lifter, the strongest force there is. Love heals. Love grows. Love is the basis for life itself. Love is invisible, and yet ever-present. Love is the most valuable gift we will ever give or receive, and yet love is perfectly free.
-Lissa Coffey

MNN: How to grow microgreens at home
