Today is the last day of October, and the sun is shining and bringing warmth and joy. The leaves are creating new spectrums of color, which have set a spark of fiery reds, oranges, golden, and brown hues covering these mountains and valleys. The Autumn skies are clear blues with ever changing clouds passing through at a good pace. The days are glorious and the temperatures at night are mild.  Serenity holds court. Inspiration comes through Nature, and close to home.  The circle of Life continues to blossom in miraculous ways, every day.

“Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors where there were only walls.”. ~ Joseph Campbell   Life is an easy path to tread when we are feeling well. And a different story when obstacles appear. What happens when we create pain or dis-ease in our bodies?  How do we heal ourselves and create our bliss? There are many answers to these questions.  Perhaps as many answers as there are stars in the skies at night.   From my own personal experiences, there is a fundamental belief that we must accept responsibility for our life.  That is empowering for if we create our life, then we have the power to change our life. That includes healing dis-ease. Some >>

In the month of October, the Autumn skies are generally clear and the sun’s light is very bright here in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Sunlight seems to bring out the best in our world, shining rays of optimism. When the Autumn skies and the gentler temperatures combine, it helps all generate joyful thoughts. We have had some stronger winds from the West this past week, bringing cooler nights to the Appalachians and the symphony of leaves falling and dancing in the breezes. The hardier wildflowers are still holding their flowers until the first frost, which is expected this week. Today we are enjoying a spectacular, sunny, relaxed day in the Nantahala Forest, listening to the waterfall near our >>
