Comfort

Comfort.

Sometimes we need
to be comforted.

Sometimes we need
to give comfort.

Both are
equally important.

We need to be both
a giver and a receiver

of Comfort.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

But…

But…

Give
but don’t allow yourself to be used.

Love
but don’t allow your heart to be abused.

Trust
but don’t be naive.

Listen
but don’t lose your own voice.

The Empty Bench

snowy-lake-and-bench-mars-pa-december-2016

The Empty Bench.

Make room…
in your heart,
in your soul,
in your home,
in your life.

Fill it with…
love,
acceptance,
warmth,
peace.

A Rule of Life

female-cardinal-in-the-snow-december-2016

“Those of us
who are warm and dry
and safe and well-fed
must show up for those
who are cold and wet
and endangered and hungry.
That’s a rule of life.
Every ethical and religious and spiritual
tradition in the world
agrees on that rule.”

-Elizabeth Gilbert

The true spirit of the season is not in simply buying gifts,
but in giving and doing what we can for those in need.

 

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
