"We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil."

                                                                     ~ Swami Satchidananda   

Today, may we choose serenity, peace, and gentle compassion toward ourselves and others.

If something happens to disturb our peace, we can respond with loving self care. For example, we can pause, place one hand over the heart area and one over the belly while breathing slowly and deeply for a few moments.

However you choose to be soothed, choose to remember: you have the power of peace - to feel it, to be it, to seed it, and to spread it.

With love...toward beauty,
Charlene
