"A journey of a thousand miles...begins…"

Welcome to Heart Speaks Out

When I look at life, in all its challenges and hardships, when I am looking carefully, I see beauty and find things to celebrate. Those things can be obvious or subtle. The subtle things are the "roses" I think we should stop to smell and the blessings we should notice and remember because these things can help our hearts feel full and satisfied. The subtle things become easier to see as we become more practiced in the art of looking. 

In addition to the sunny side of life, I also understand there is a darker, shadowy side that many of us are forced to look at. I want to look at that without fear of being broken by it. I want to look at that in a way that allows me to still remember that the sun will again shine. That's what I'll strive to do. 

This newsletter is a space where I can reflect and share my reflections with you. It is a space where I can be silly or serious or serene. It is an experiment, which will evolve over time, and a journey I am taking. Welcome. I hope you enjoy walking with me and I encourage you to invite others to join also.
