Snoopy Happy Dance
Moments of happiness are important parts of our daily lives. We often look for happiness directly. It is more easily found when we offer a moment of service to others, even if just a smile.
Balance is important too, especially if we are moving through grief or times of great hardship. Perhaps it is you who needs this gift. You deserve kindness too!
- Who around you needs their day brightened?
- Can you allow a few seconds of happiness to count?
- How can you offer this gift to yourself?
Warmly,

Bald Spot
We never know how long someone will be with us on this earth, or how long we will be blessed with the breath of life. Aging and illness reminds us of the fragility of life. It is important to cherish each moment.
As I notice my husband’s aging, my heart opens, and I am reminded of my own vulnerability. There is the honoring of him, my love for him, and my own vulnerability. Much can arise when we dare to touch this deeper place.
- What relationship would you like to honor by pausing and cherishing it?
- When you just sit with that, what happens inside of you?
- What kind of support do you need to help you do this?
Warmly,
Pamela
Death of a Friend's Friend
We often see death as the end because someone’s physical presence is gone. No matter what you believe happens after death, the connection and love and memories are forever alive. Love connects us in a special way and it can linger, like perfume, after the person has left the room.
Instead of “getting over someone,” we can honor that connection and also go on with our lives. It is a both/and experience. My mother is no longer with me, and I can enjoy the quilt made in her honor and teach the resilience classes we had talked about doing together. Our connection is still alive and inspires me.
- How would you like to honor the person you have lost?
- What happens when you allow yourself to touch that connection?
- How do you move on at the same time?
Warmly,
