"You are the sum total of everything you've ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot - it's all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive." 
                   ~ Maya Angelou

Mindful that everything we experience this day will be woven into the fabric of us, may we choose with care what we eat, drink, say, think, read, watch, smell, taste, and touch as well as how we sit, walk, drive, speak, listen, respond, spend our time....all the we consume and do, to the extent that we can.

Without worrying or obsessing, may we live this day, and every day, with wisdom, love, and gratitude. 

Compassion and joy too,
Charlene

COMPASSION: May you be gentle with yourself and others. May you forgive those who hurt you and yourself when you make mistakes. (from The Twelve Gifts of Birth)
