Hi ,
This week we remember those who have fought in wars past.
We can only hope that we will collectively learn soon enough that war doesn't solve anything.
So this week's theme - be the peace you want to see in the world.
We so need to embrace a more peaceful way of being - we may not be able to solve the biggest of problems and we can commit to doing what we can in own world.
Over the last year we've shared many an idea on being peaceful:)
It starts with stopping - to connect with ourselves, to bring peaceful thoughts to our minds, to shift our energy to one of a peaceful nature.
And with this week we remember those of the past and envision a better more peaceful future. May you find reasons to be grateful for your life, as it is now.
Bring your attention to these reasons often...
"where your attention goes your energy flows".
PS There will be NO Somatic Stretch® Classes this week -
Register here for next weeks' classes.
Meanwhile I am grateful for the opportunity to share these simple soulful solutions for inner peace and leave the Desiderata below for your comfort in these tumultuous times. May peace be with you.
In gratitude,
Wendy

Desiderata
This is the original text from the book where Desiderata was first published.
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
