"On the second day… my true love gave to me two turtle doves…"
Doves are an international symbol of peace, and peace is a perfect state of mind for thriving in today’s increasingly hectic world. Peace is more than an absence of conflict. Peace is a state of mind that fills one’s awareness completely. To be at peace is to experience a deep and effortless sense of comfort. Peace can come to us fleetingly, or can settle cozily into us and linger. Often, the only invitation that it needs is a pause between activities and a deep, slow inhalation. With this moment, we can enjoy PEACE:
Pause to
Enjoy
And to
Contemplate
Everything
You, Thriver, deserve to experience peace often, in fact, right now! As soon as you finish reading this sentence, close your eyes, take a deep breath and as you exhale, relax your shoulders, let yourself smile, and know that in this moment you are safe and whole.
