You get closer to wholeness by living mindfully, in connection with the energy all around you, with a sense that you’re supported in being who you most need to be. This poem highlights vulnerability, curiosity, and intention as wellsprings of support.

With the launch of my first book, Sleep Affirmations, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to move forward with my dreams, my writing and my work. How can I live each day like it's a gift just for me?

What lifts you up and makes you feel connected to this moment, what matters, and all the supportive energy around you?

Read this poem whenever you want to tap into that energy of lightness and love. To believe in who your greatest self wants you to be.

A Poem to Invite the Energy of Abundance

How to be home

I want to walk the earth

Like there are gems waiting to be unearthed.

How lovely I imagine it would be

If every pair of wings

Looked like a miracle to me.

Hope would live in the breezes and the dirt,

And not just in the minds of children

And their dreams.

There would be new seeds to plant

Wherever my body happened to go.

Everything I threw into the world

Would be delighted

To have me watch it grow.

What a gift each day would be

As I lifted my face to the sky,

My mind open to the moment and

My heart open to what’s next.

Where else would I be?

My joy would be

To live under the sky,

Breathing in the essence of this moment—

A slice of eternity—

Living in the reality

That I am blessed.

I want a life upheld

By the animating energy of love

That I was bold enough to believe in.

And yes,

I believe in the endless support of a loving energy.

I could allow myself to

Embrace the unknown

Like it was the glue that unites the whole world.

Through the generosity of my trust,

I could invite the mystery’s guidance to flow,

Removing my need to walk the world

On my own.

A place of love is what I crave.

I need a place to stay

And belong to my self.

I need to feel the pool of wisdom

In which I swim

And listen to the earth’s song as though

I was basking in an eternal hymn.

To see my self in all beings,

In union with all things and

In harmony with the mysteries—

What could my life be but

A gift of eternity unto itself?

Yes, it is so:

In the heart of abundance, I dwell.

There is a wellspring of renewal and

Support like no other

In the deep reservoir of my soul.

This will be my life.

This is the story I’m here to tell.
