"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Philippians 4:8

I love this verse and I love how the tide takes on a beautiful lacy appearance. I shot this photo during a trip to La Jolla for our 5th anniversary. Good times :-)

"The secret of creating peace is that when you listen to another person you have only one purpose: to offer him an opportunity to empty his heart.

If you are able to keep that awareness and compassion alive in you, then you can sit for one hour and listen even if the other person’s speech contains a lot of wrong perceptions, condemnations and bitterness. You can continue to listen because you are already protected by the nectar of compassion in your own heart.

If you do not practice mindful breathing in order to keep that compassion alive, however, you can lose your own peace. Irritation and anger will come up, and the other person will notice and will not be able to continue. Keeping your awareness keeps you safe." - Thich Nhat Hanh

Meditation is the peace of the puzzle that holds my day together.

There are few tools more effective or more useful in achieving deep knowing, true joy, and inner peace than daily meditation. Are you meditating regularly? Is it the first thing you cut out of your day if things start off, or begin to get, hectic? It should, of course, be the last thing.
