Glow and Grow

Darling view of little K, artistic ‘trick or treat’ moment

Life get sorted by calendars, schedules, holidays.

Each day we make meaning into neat little organized experiences.

With reflection and selection, we go even deeper into the richness we can cultivate.

Along the way, we make friends, hold hands with some, grieve, and share successes and milestones.

This is the bread and butter of life: light and darkness, living and dead, joys and sorrows.

My hope for each one of my friends and loved one is that both grow and glow.

You don’t need to be the brightest star in the night’s sky, nor the sun during the day.

Just be who you are, in all your colors, and let it out a bit more.

Day2 of Cheer Peppers 🌶️ Nano Poblano

I seem to have overdone it with all my travel this month with a trip to Mexico for energy working with colleagues and a trip to Los Angeles with TCM dermatology colleagues at a module 3 training. Now, I’m back for an annual conference and volunteered two days ago and my back hurts and I have a cold. 🤧. I love this season. I call this growing pains! Once I heal up I will be an expanded version of myself. Then I get to do some post-conference volunteering. But, for now, I’m streaming the beloved conference from home. What a modern luxury. To be both ‘here’ and ‘there.’ I also join with Cheer Peppers in November and my deeper celebration underlying it all is writing and art, sharing beauty and what catches my eye. I have plenty to glow about. How about you? I may live in the dark, but glowing is what we do. For that, I have no fear of darkness—only to embrace.

“We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life—those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life, and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.” Oswald Chambers

  1. Just remember to do you occasionally kind lady. Sometimes we want to be something else but forget us in the process. But…thank you Ka…for graciously sharing what you have found in those very journey’s 🤗❤️🙏

  2. What a sweet little princess!! Love Halloween & Costumes!! It sure sounds like you have been REALLY busy. I get it…even when we do things we love we can create a lot of stress in our bodies. Sending beautiful white healing light to you, my friend ❤ ❤
