Conversations with the Heartmind
“You can be yourself without pursuing yourself. Have you ever seen a dog chase his own tail? He just runs in circles.” ― Criss Jami, Killosophy A lot can be learned from sitting under a tree. If we’re mindful and aware, we will first notice the shade it offers us on a warm day, cooling […]
Read More“As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.” ― Henry David Thoreau Simple. Such a word has so many meanings. The word itself speaks to the heart in a way that not many others can. But what […]
Read More“I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become” ~ Oprah Winfrey Twists, turns, changes, gifts and new challenges; this is life. Often we are brought these things. They happen when we least expect it. Those looking for love find it when they’re not looking. Those looking to catch a break […]
Read More“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt In life we often think about our goals, our dreams and our ambitions.

It is on this day, Fat Tuesday, that we celebrate, remember and look forward to a time of fasting, a time […]
Read More“As long as I am breathing, in my eyes, I am just beginning.” ~ Criss Jami The heart is a source. It is a source of power and light. This source that we have beating deep within our bodies is more powerful than we give credit. It allows us to feel, to love, grow and […]
Read More“She smiled and said with an ecstatic air: “It shines like a little diamond”, “What does?” “This moment. It is round, it hangs in empty space like a little diamond; I am eternal.” ~ Jean-Paul Sartre, The Age of Reason Worlds away, far gone, beyond that which is knowable. Words to describe the soul, or […]
Read More“Do you think a society is good, or that people are good? We are only as good as the artists and writers can make us appear.” ~ Anonymous It’s difficult for me to sit back and say nothing about the events of the past few days in Paris, France. But as the bloodshed continues headlining […]
