Aging with Grace

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential to the eye.

What or who inspires you? Most recently, it’s been my friend, Barb. letitgocoach.com She magically appeared in my life through my blog and she has taught me so much over the past months. There is a quote by Tao Te Ching, “When the student is ready the teacher will appear.” Barb is the teacher. She has taught me about generosity, kindness, determination and creativity. I have been motivated to not only keep a journal, but it write letters to which she generously responds. The little brass holder on my desk is filled with sealing wax and a stamp she sent me. Her letters and thoughtful cards appear regularly in the mail.

I am fascinated by the spiritual synchronicities of life. I will be thinking about someone and a text from them shows up on my phone, while reading a book, a quote I have been trying to remember will appear, or a person will come into my life at exactly the right time. A friend brings me flowers without knowing they match my favorite painting. Life if filled with perfectly orchestrated events that align to send you a message. The key is to be open to seeing them when they happen.
