Clarity, Love, Butterflies, Freedom and Splashing Colors for 2016

“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you” ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

As the year comes to an end and a new year ushers itself on us soon, we will all be thinking about the year ahead. In lieu of what we went through in this year, we think the next year will either be similar. Instantly flashes of what went wrong in this year will leave their residue in the year to come, IF you Let them.

Having grown up in a desert (muscat) all my life, I was never a fan of the warm temperatures there, that could literally burn your skin and make you dehydrated in a matter of seconds. Sun block and Sun glasses weren’t optional there, they were a necessity. But now, after some traveling and being around the cold wintry places of the world, I kind of have come to appreciate the warm temperatures and the sun and all the good energy it brings with it.

As the sun took its rightful place of spreading its warmth all over the world, so did I shed my icy cold feelings this past year. Continue reading “2 Simple Steps to Open Your Heart to Warmth” →
