...one of the greatest privileges of a human life is to become midwife to the birth of the soul in another. When your soul awakens, you begin to truly inherit your life. You leave the Kingdom of fake surfaces, repetitive talk and weary roles and slip deeper into the true adventure of who you are and who you are called to become. The greatest friend of the soul is the unknown...

Fiji Gratitude #26

I am grateful for inky black night skies that hold more stars than seem possible. The night sky here is indescribable. Truly indescribable. I love to get lost among the stars and the Milky Way and be reminded how vast this Universe really is.

I am grateful for now. Just being here, right now, this day, this minute, in this place and with these people I love so very much. May I remember this as the days ahead fill with preparations for going home and heart-wrenching goodbyes.

I am deeply grateful for rain, in a way I've never experienced before. The sound, smell, sight of it is pure joy and goodness.

Fiji Gratitude # 30

I am grateful for vibrant rainbows, so amazingly colorful that they look painted in the sky, that I can see entirely from beginning to end. Though many times I've been tempted, I've yet to swim out to the end of the rainbow and claim the pot 'o gold I know is waiting for me...

Fiji Gratitude #31

I am grateful for cool, breezy nights after hot, humid days. There are few things that I enjoy more than lying in my bed at the end of a sticky hot day, feeling the cool rushes of the breeze wash over me as I listen to it dance in the coconut leaves outside. Aaaah!

Fiji gratitude #32

I am grateful for the frequent sounds of laughter and joking that erupt throughout the village everyday - such good medicine! Reminds me to take pause and keep it light - life is not to be taken seriously!
