By Peggy Lindsey Love is powerful. This month, we often celebrate the romantic aspect of love with the popular gifts of flowers and chocolates. Perhaps even an engagement ring! But love is so much more, isn’t it? People confuse love with an emotion, especially those euphoric feelings when one falls in love with that special someone. But love is found in every relationship. It is widely considered that humans are “wired
By Peggy Lindsey The New Year brings promise . . . an opportunity to start fresh with a clean slate. We set goals and resolutions with hopes for a better and brighter year. A new cycle begins in 2026, not only in January, but within every month, every day, every moment. And we are invited to walk in a brand-new direction. But with any great journey, we must decide what we
By Peggy Lindsey Winter speaks to all life as the season begins each December. Squirrels are well stocked for the cold months ahead, bears are snuggled in for a long winter’s nap, and trees drift off into their deep slumber. And we, too, hear the annual message of winter. As we move into the darker months, we are invited inward . . . the coziness of warm hearths, soft blankets, and
By Peggy Lindsey Abundance is everywhere! Nature bursts with plentitude . . . Niagara Falls, the Amazon Forest, the fish in the sea . . . And yet, many hold the mindset of lack. In our society, people relate to the world as a place of lack and deprivation — where one must compete with others to survive — a “me versus them” world. But, is that really true, or do
By Peggy LindseyThe winds of change are blowing, affecting everyone now. Yet, we somehow feel the need to run the other way. Can the storm be outrun? No, but many oppose it! Why do we resist change? Most humans have a fear of the unknown. Uncertainty is uncomfortable, so we relish what is safe and predictable. Change, when imposed upon us, can sometimes mean we’ve lost control over our lives,
By Peggy Lindsey Is it true that humans hate anguish and discomfort so much that we would do anything to avoid being in pain? We might think so! After all, none of us wakes up one morning and decides to be miserable. However, subconsciously, many do. The number one cause of ongoing suffering is attachment. People are attached to situations, desires, possessions, and even old stories! They cling to dualistic views
By Peggy Lindsey Life’s routine is often mundane as we go through the motions. At times these activities no longer feel good to us . . . we can become disinterested, or even anxious and resentful of them. When this happens, start asking yourself, “Why am I doing this?” Dig deep as you ponder this question. Maybe you won’t have a good reason, or maybe you will discover what you are
By Peggy LindseyVulnerability is part of the human experience. As much as we would prefer to stay immune to the pains of everyday life, we cannot escape the challenges of being human. If we are honest, most of us run and hide when we see pain on the horizon. But that strategy — to banish or suppress pain — has never worked nor ever will. Wounds, especially those we cannot
By Peggy LindseyWe are physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual beings. That may seem a foreign concept to some, but if we take a moment to look, we can see clearly how our human experience is made of each of these aspects. What kind of relationship do you have with these parts of yourself? Are they in parity with one another? Maybe you live at the gym every day . .
By Peggy Lindsey Beliefs . . . we all have them! Normally we don’t give them a second thought, but when we consciously work with them, they have the power to change the course of life’s trajectory. Most of us are ruled by our thoughts, and if we’re honest, they don’t serve us very well much of the time. Stuck in our heads, we overthink everything. It’s exhausting. We’re bombarded with
By Peggy LindseyComfort zones . . . we love them! They feel so good and safe, and we relax easily in their embrace. Just as with your favorite pair of slippers, you eventually have to step into something new. Lately, we are all getting pushed out of comfort zones, and quite rapidly I might add! Changes are happening so fast it makes our heads spin. Perhaps we could all use
By Peggy LindseyInstead of the usual New Year’s resolutions, I invite you to consider a fresh approach in 2025. It’s a bold move . . . and perhaps a bit unfamiliar, but it’s a game changer. Living from the heart . . . That’s it? It sounds simple enough. But, can we do it? It’s not just about doing nice things for people. It’s about getting out of our thinking
