Today,

I carry a steady strength within me.

I have already lived through so much.

I meet challenges with calm presence.

I bend and continue, with quiet resilience.

I trust myself to endure and begin again.

I listen to the wisdom of my heart.

And I offer my thanks and blessings

to all creation.

~Betty Albert

when I can’t settle, I find a little softening…

inquiry for today~ take good care of your soul…

having it all….

Peace, be still.

Not because the storm has vanished,

but because you no longer give it authority over your inner world.

A quiet heart is not the absence of noise.

It is the presence of an unshaken center.

When the mind races toward tomorrow, return to this moment.

When fear invents stories, return to what is true.

When circumstances demand panic, answer them with stillness.

Peace, be still.

Let the waters settle.

Let the dust fall.

Let wisdom speak.
