"In the Faces of Flowers" was written for my mother's mother, Grandma Bettye. In this sharing, I can feel the multi-generations of mother, daughter, and granddaughter. We are all connected, and it feels magical to share in this connection with YOU!!!

My mother, Leslye Layne Russell, was a poet and true creative spirit. She passed away before she published her poetry, and in the months prior to her death, I promised to publish and share her writing. Here it is!!!

We, as a family, own and reserve the rights to her amazing work. A book will be published soon... in 2024!

This episode is appropriate for all audiences!!! Poetry is an age old tradition and in the way of knowledge simply points to truths about life. That being said, if you are a minor, here is a special message for you...

Young Audiences - This episode was created with all ages in mind. In general, if there is ever a topic that feels triggering or that you have more questions about, reach out to a safe and caring adult. It is important to talk about the serious things in life and to have loving people available to do so.

Deep appreciation goes out to my late mother & very much alive stepfather who collaborated on and performed the outro music. Check out the album, My Oh My, for the full song, May Your Dreams Draw You Gently.

In this guided meditation, listeners have the opportunity to practice acceptance and letting go with every breath.

Acceptance includes acknowledging moods, changes, and choices both visible and invisible. Letting go is emphasized not just as a release of wants and needs but as a way to make oneself available to receive.

Personal self-acceptance is encouraged along with the cultivation of courage for change and wisdom for clarity. The meditation concludes with a gradual return to awareness, inviting meditators to slowly take in their surroundings.

This guided meditation focuses on invoking and offering peace to oneself and to others. Meditators settle in comfortably and are encouraged to focus on self care during the meditation. By consciously breathing and welcoming peace into the body, a sense of tranquility is brought forth.

The meditation continues with paying attention and manifesting peace in relationship to different individuals including loved ones, adversaries, meaningful teachers, and those who have passed away. Finally, peace is offered to the world and universe, emphasizing the interconnectedness of everything. Everyone participating is invited to notice insights and shifts that may have happened during our time together.
