Stories from Birdie Lake 

In quiet and peaceful solitude I sit, nestled amongst the tall cedars
and the pines. From my comfy canvas chair, just a few feet from the
shimmering shores of Birdie Lake, I am filled with gratitude for this
my happy home. I am one with nature, and simply awestruck by all
the beauty that surounds me.
It is here that I share my joy, thoughts, and inspirations with...
"Stories from Birdie Lake."

A Story of... The Moment.

This is a story of a place in time...
It is not about the past... nor the future.
It is a story about "being" present... my here and now,
and how I feel so totally immersed in this...
My perfect moment.

This moment is not only all I have... (in this moment),
it is the culmination of the universe, her energy, creation,
and spirit all coming together... at once... in perfect harmony.
It flows and forms (effortlessly)... It is my here... and now.
And it is (truly) ... my most amazing gift.

In this moment... I give thanks... for all life's blessings,
and I am grateful (and respectful) for all I have been given.
I feel at peace, and choose to use this moment to affirm,
recognize, (and give thanks)... for all my gifts.
I am safe... I am well... I am healthy... and I am blessed.
I am love... I give love... and I celebrate the opportunity
to share my incredible blessings with others.

Choosing to "be" in this moment allows me to stay present,
conscious, and aware... all within myself. I am grateful for the
lesson's of my past, and humbly recognize, that the opportunities
I envision for my future will only manifest themselves in balance
and alignment with the intentions that I choose to imagine... now...
in this precise moment. 

So it is with great joy that I enthusiastically embrace this moment...
and allow myself to go deep inside... (without fear)...
And truly... and simply... Feel.
When I feel my heart, I feel light, aligned... balanced, and free.
I trust in this moment... and I deeply know... with all that I am...
that this is exactly where I am supposed to... "be."

This is what speaks (so strongly) to me now..
Everything... All at once... A coming together...
in one, beautiful, clear, extraordinary, and simply perfect...
Moment.
