By Peggy Lindsey There will always be more to learn. Maybe we are well beyond our years in school, and yet Life provides us all with a wide variety of classrooms. Our days are filled with opportunities to learn and grow . . . but are we willing? Wisdom grows not from talking . . . it grows by listening, by opening up to other options, by being curious. And who are our teachers?
By Peggy Lindsey We are often caught up dealing with an overfilled to-do list in our daily grind, aren’t we? There is always something to accomplish . . . do the laundry, pay the bills, get to the market, read the book . . . And our minds move non-stop. Yet, murmuring in the background of noise, our hearts ask, “What if?” “What if” . . . These two words, when brought together, are so powerful. They
By Peggy Lindsey Our souls know we are free and always will be. However, when we were young, we were taught that we were subject to the influences of others . . . their opinions, ideas, and judgments. We ignored our own inner feelings in the attempt to satisfy others and avoid punishment. But many are now reconnecting with their inner guidance, trusting more their own feelings, and giving themselves permission to exercise
By Peggy Lindsey Our childhood years contained many lessons of DOs and DO NOTs, forming our minds and hearts of what was acceptable, what was possible, and even what would make us worthy of love. Conformity was taught at the very beginning. Rarely were children encouraged to acknowledge their own uniqueness . . . to be a sovereign individual within a family or community. And now, many years later, we are
By Peggy Lindsey Each morning, we are given the gift of life . . . another 24 hours, a clean slate, and an opportunity for a new beginning. Every moment given to us is a chance to learn, grow, discover, and become the next best version of ourselves. Yet it is always a choice. Growth begins in the space within. Just as the gardener sows seeds deep into the soil, so
By Peggy LindseyIf your life were a book, what title would you give it? Every soul arrives here with a bunch of blank pages. Every experience, every desire, every hope, every choice is written in our very own hand. Each day we awaken to a fresh sheet, ready to continue our story. Some chapters are filled with excitement and adventure, while others reflect the calmness of daily routines. Beautiful moments
By Peggy Lindsey There comes a time in your life, usually when you are older, when you stop trying to find your place out there in the world. Many of us have been lifelong people pleasers. We have hidden behind masks, modified our behavior, and even side-stepped our own path for the approval of others. It felt like a performance because that’s what it was. We wanted to fit in .
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,
