Step by Step

April 2, 2007 

Step by step we are guided to follow our path; the journey that our soul has chosen to experience. Step by step we discover who we are, what we like or don’t like, what our passion is.   Step by step, slowly our lives unfold and with each step that we take, more and more we will remember our purpose. Sometimes we take a side step which allows us to have a new experience but every time we are brought back to our original path. For some, this happens quickly. Others need more time to walk a different route. We don’t need to look ahead, for when a cross road appears, the next step will unfold. Allow yourself the gift to walk your path …. step by step.

The Desert of Arizona

April 1, 2007 

The Arizona sun is burning while I overlook the desert. The cacti have a beauty of their own as they stand tall to guard.


In the distant I hear the call of a bird.  I don’t know its name. It doesn’t matter.
Every once in a while he calls out.   The mountains surround me closely. I feel safe in the canyon. Although the occasional hiker passes by, there is a peace and quietness that can only be found in nature and sometimes in our own mind. These moments are precious and to be treasured. I wish I could stay but I know it is time to go on my way.
