your daily rock : do it with love
Whatever you do today, whomever you meet, do it with love. Think to yourself as you interact with every person today, “I am sending love to you. I recognize myself in you and you in me. We are kin.” Love, (These beautifully painted rocks are created by …
your daily rock : i have everything i need
Trust me, you do. It might be hiding under deflections or depression or busy-ness, but it’s there. I think “The Wizard of Oz” is such a wise book and movie. We have everything we need, and we’ve had it all along. Today, act as if you have everything you need. …
your daily rock : enjoy the journey
I was walking up a long hill at the U.S. Capitol Building years ago with a friend. My goal was to reach the top. His was to enjoy the journey. “Weren’t those blooming trees amazing?” he said when we reached the top. “What trees?” I said. Enjoy the trees. Enjoy …
your daily rock : nothing is wasted
Things happen that we don’t want to happen. We screw up. We have regrets about decisions we’ve made or not made. Sometimes it is easy to wish for all those moments to be reversed somehow. But what I believe is this: It’s all free data. All of it. The “right” …

your daily rock : reconnect
We lose touch. We let drama sit between us and someone we miss. Or we let time separate us from someone we love. Today is the day to reconnect. Not with people who are toxic to you–keep them out of your life–but to people you love. Reconnect. Before it’s too …

You’re not a superficial person. So why do you (and I) base so much of our response to other people on what we see on the surface? See deeply inside, instead. It will forever alter the quality of your engagement with other people. Love, (These beautifully painted …
you daily rock : start with “I”
Every time you find yourself saying, “They really should do something about that,” start that sentence with “I” instead. Love, (These beautifully painted rocks are created by Kim Mailhot, aka The Rock Fairy.
your daily rock : name your intention
Your life is either run by circumstance or intention. You get to choose which one is the North Star.

They become victims to what …
