Hello friends, and welcome to the most secret... most magical place... on the entire internet. You are welcome here... to sit and listen to a little whisper of the infinite possibilities that live within YOUR HEART at all times. Who you are matters, and you have so much to bring to the world -- never forget that!
You were born on this planet
Only one of you exists
You matter so much
You have so many gifts
Not one person alive
Sees the universe like you
There's not much I know
But this much is true
Who you are is important
Your dreams are not silly
So keep walking that path
Even when it gets hilly
Each up and each down
A lesson you learn
A new opportunity exists
Around every single turn
Don't let go of ideas
They are meant to stay alive
As you nurture them with love
They start to thrive
And what starts as a glimmer
Will burn as a spark
And the light in your soul
Will brighten the dark
The more glimmers that rise
The more light we will see
The more people will bring
Their unique creativity
A ripple in a pond
It starts very small
But soon all that joy
Is shared with the all
It only takes a single
Person who decides to decide
That they won't live small anymore
That they weren't meant to hide
And as that blossoming happens
A flower so rare
The beauty, unimaginable
Extending infinite care
To all who are part
Of this cosmic river above
And we keep flowing on
Powered by that infinite love.

My eyes are wet after reading that poem. Really needed to hear that today.
I’ll follow Kathleen’s lead and create some haikus based on my Kulaverse experiences:
Web community
Collective effervescence
Sharing our stories
Finding clarity
In Anastasia’s writing
Wednesdays and Sundays
Reading about joy
Award for longest book club?
Dalai Lama jokes
A Kula menu
Yogurt, berries, granola
Cookies and pizza
Silence in nature
Listen after final chord
Mountaintop concert
Burrito labels
The most accurate watches
Creative projects
My first AMA
Gave me just what I needed
Finding your dream job
You can stop trying
Crying, walking down the hill
Feel waves of relief
Get off the treadmill
Procure the dangling carrot
Dip in ranch dressing
Abundance is here
Not over there, not later
Here, can you feel it?
It was a sunny
summer afternoon when I
discovered I could fly
(okay that’s 6 syllables I know)
What if it goes right?
Nothing is opposum-ble
Feeling abundance
Ancient artifact
Urinary history
Shrouded in humor
Makebelievable
Ukelele, violin
Creativity
Fun surprise for me
Carried away writing more
Haikus flow from mind
Once at the top, look forward to the challenge of the next mountain.
What a glorious place to have found on the world wide interwebs! I leave you with a haiku inspired by this magical hidden place:
Unicorn and squatch
No better friends can there be
Magical music
Remember…even exceptionally weird can be perfectly loveable.
Knowing me, I won’t win
U better believe it, I will still try
Look, I did it ma!
A chance is better than not trying.
