“To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle. Every cubic inch of space is a miracle.”
~Walt Whitman
If you’re really honest with yourself, if you go to the deepest place within, I’m guessing that you know the truth: the truth that living from love is possible, that you can be free of whatever holds you back, that fullness, well-being, and contentment are your innate nature.
It seems to be part of the human experience to pretend we don’t know what we know. Maybe we’re afraid to acknowledge and live this knowing. Maybe our thinking pulls us into believing that our lives don’t measure up or we’ve been dealt a bad hand or we need to keep charging ahead.
But if you go within to your whole heart, you will find the seed of possibility…and consider turning it into the living reality of your precious life.
All you need to do is start with this very moment, then the next and the next. Make space for the truth of these moments to expand so you can live what you already know—in your choices, your priorities, and the energy you embody.
You’ll find inner aliveness…and everyone around you gets to bask in your glow.
None of these truths will be news to you. You know them already more intimately than you could imagine. So let’s explore what’s possible…
Savoring
Life is bursting at the seams in every moment in an amazing array of people, objects, sounds, sights, and situations. Rather than judging, evaluating, or taking things for granted, try savoring what’s present.
Use your senses to experience what shows up in your life. For example, if you’re eating an apple, taste it, smell it, hear and feel the crunch. Savor the deliciousness of the apple moment.
If you’re walking in nature, take your time and drink it in fully. If you’re feeling emotions, be curious to meet them as they are.
Now savor the experience of everything—being in your home and with your loved ones, doing the dishes, walking the dog, working… Savor what’s present, and your whole experience of your life will change.
Wholeness
You may have had life experiences that make you believe you’re inadequate or unworthy, but is that really the truth of who you are?
Even if it’s just a whisper in your being, you know that prior to any limiting ideas about yourself, you are alive, loving, and free. Something in you believes that this is true. Because it is.
What would it be like to live from wholeness? You’re present in your relationships and available to intimate connection. You let go of trying to fix yourself and instead open into a vast field of compassion. You’re able to flow with what life brings you.
You realize that every moment offers opportunities that support happiness and well-being.
Instead of pretending you’re damaged, assume that you’re whole. Then let your life experience unfold…gloriously…
Peace
You can choose to resist what is actually here in this moment, but you are going against the grain of what is, and you’ll suffer. What you already know is that peace is your true nature.
You don’t need to find inner peace. If you stop battling your own experience, peace is revealed, naturally. Experiment with not running from your emotions or believing things will be better “if only” something were different. Effortlessly, you’ll realize peace.
You have to work to be at war by believing your thoughts that resist and divide. Do you want to be peaceful? You don’t have to do one single thing except align your conscious awareness with things as they already are.

There is always an opportunity to live what you already know. And that’s an inspiring invitation to take into your day…
