The unexpected gift of an urban tree…
When we live from the heart, we have a higher appreciation ability. This greatly enhances all our experiences of life. Even when certain circumstances might not seem favourable, we're able to receive the gem within them or that emerges from them. Life is no longer just a series of "good" or "bad" experiences, but a journey of discoveries that teach us about ourselves, others and this amazing world we live in.

I feel blessed to have grown up in the country... my pre-teen years on a dairy farm handed down through generations, and my teen years on a bison ranch. Through family members and Nature, I learned so much, including... The miracles and beauty of all life... The rewards of treating all beings … [Read more...]

On a still night with barely a breeze, their perfume gently wafts on air currents and delights the senses... enticing their nocturnal pollinators to their blossoms. Moths, such as this "Pale Beauty" are translucent white and in the moonlight they glow like … [Read more...]

Treasures are found in the most unexpected places... I love that no matter where we are, there are always treasures to be found... it's all a matter of how we view our world. Whether in beings, things or experiences, there's always something precious that can be discovered. This photo is of a lava stone on a beach at Kealakekua Bay. It sparkles with a crystal known as olivine (or peridot when it's considered gem quality). It's so amazing to see these green crystals in so much of the … [Read more...]

How I love owls!... a beautiful Spirit connection... The property where I lived for the past two years was truly a Divine gift. Throughout that time, whenever I needed a very special sign from Spirit about my journey, it would often manifest as a Great-Horned Owl feather during my Nature walks - always in different places of several square miles! I loved hearing them hoo-hoo-ing at dusk or during the night near the house I rented... Now on the Big Island of Hawai'i, I was delighted to find … [Read more...]
