“Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a wise and intuitive counselor available 24/7? You're in luck-you already have one. Your body! Our bodies carry ancient wisdom. We literally live within a temple of intuitive and instinctive wisdom. Sometimes we pay attention and access body wisdom; but unfortunately, the aphorism "Mrs. Smith lived a short distance from her body" is sadly true for many of us.” SometimesBodyPayAttentionWiseWonderfulLuckDistanceAncientAvailableAccessYour BodyPay AttentionTemplesAphorismIntuitiveCounselorAncient Wisdom Author:Sue Thoele
“I was struck by the fact that I hadn't been awed in a while. Did that mean awesome things had disappeared from my life? No. What it did mean was that I'd gotten too caught up in distractions and mind mucking to recognize anything as awe-inspiring. . . . I hadn't been paying attention to the beauty around me.” MindMeanFactsAttentionCaughtPay AttentionAweDistractionCaught UpAwe InspiringAwesome Things Book:The Mindful Woman: Gentle Practices for Restoring Calm, Finding Balance, and Opening Your Heart Source: The Mindful Woman: Gentle Practices for Restoring Calm, Finding Balance, and Opening Your Heart
“True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are. Good friends mirror our best back to us, forgive us our worst, and believe we will evolve into wise, wacky, and wonderful old people. Dear friends give us their undivided attention, encourage us to laugh, and entice us into silliness. And we do the same for them. A true friend gives us the courage to be ourselves because he or she is with us always and in all ways. In the safety of such friendships, our hearts can fully open.” PeopleWayGivingBelieveHeartFeelingsFriendshipBehindsAttentionAcceptingLaughingWiseWonderfulWorstSafeMirrorsSafetyEmbraceForgivingDearEvolveGood FriendOld PeopleTrue FriendHarborsOur WordsDear FriendWackySillinessUndivided AttentionSafe Harbor Author:Sue Thoele
“We can learn to trust ourselves by inquiring within. To practice doing this, sit quietly, close your eyes, and for a minute focus your attention on your breathing.

Be still and listen.” StillsEyeAttentionPracticeFocusMinutesReflectionEarsShouldersAdmireBreathingButterflyHer BeautyInquiring Book:The Woman's Book of Courage: Meditations for Empowerment and Peace of Mind Source: The Woman's Book of Courage: Meditations for Empowerment and Peace of Mind
