I was recently reminded of the power of beauty--it takes our breath away and transports us. It is powerfully restorative and connects us to our innate sense of wonder.

We all want to leave this world with no regrets. People on their deathbeds often regret working too much, living based on the expectations of others, not expressing their feelings, not spending more time with friends and family and not allowing themselves to be happier.

I love spring. It’s a time of hope and renewal.

I try to feed my brain mostly healthy, positive stuff without denying that there is pain and suffering in the world. I am aware of it but I don’t gorge on it. I try for a balanced mental diet.
