Explore, Dream, Discover



Explore everything in this life. Be it a new opportunity, a new job, the sea shore, new music. There is a whole world out there. Enrich your life! Explore some new possibility.Just imagine all that Hope the Little Black Bear is exploring now that she is out of the den; every new scent, every new ant hill, each leaf, each pine tree! The sky is the limit for our HOPE ~ I can see those precious eyes and ears perky as she hears that voice of Dr Rogers next, "Bear, its ME" and as she looks to Lily for assurance that yep, it's all good, come on closer and see the "Bearwalker" tell him of your discoveries in the world of bears!



Like Hope, Lilly’s new bear cub, we explore to learn. We test out new skills, discovering new potential. Stepping outside of our comfort zone at times, walking gently on new paths at first and then S T O M P I N G just because we can in celebration of self, in joy of each breath and for each other.



In this virtual world, the possibilities of introducing ourselves to new thoughts, new places, new experiences are limitless. Perhaps there is someplace we have always wanted to go; a foreign county, or a special landmark in our own county. We can jump on the Internet and check it out. Quick tour, how to get there, book a flight, no limits to information that we have at hand. Without leaving the comfort of home, we can explore the world. These are amazing times. Animal Plant and the Travel Chanel provide amazing opportunities to experience the entire planet.



We move from virtual exploration to the tactile world. Explore the beach, search for shells, marvel at the concept that each shell has been tossed up on the shore for us to enjoy. Take a day trip on the local bike path and pay attention to nature. Delve into the experience. Smell the earth, catch a glimpse of the ferns at the base of the shaded trees. Listen to the wind, the birds and see the wonderment of the clouds as they pass by, finding images and angels riding high... if we but take the time!


Feel the dappled sun as it makes it’s way through the foliage.


Have you every worked on Thanksgiving at a soup kitchen, or volunteered at the local food bank. Another example of how we can see the world through more enlightened eyes by exploring the plight others live day to day. We explore these opportunities to give back. Because we have so much, our tables are full for the holidays, and others do not have this experience. Perhaps we need to develop more compassion. Explore some ways to achieve this. We will be better for the gift of the time we give.


Explore every little thing you can. Enrich your own life, grow your knowledge base. Experience whatever you choose. Life is often too short to waste it.


We know the value of dreams. We dream because we can, because no goal is ever reached until we plant the seed of hope and nurture it with the desire to turn the dream into reality. We, here, do not follow our dreams, we create them and then chase them down. Empowered by our own ability to see them through to fruition.


Making our dreams come true has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that we may fail at our attempts. To the hopeful it is encouraging because we can achieve that which we set out after, to the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.


Know your vision. Clearly see the dream in all it’s multi layered facets. Lay out the plan.


Modify it as you go. Adapt to whatever obstacles you encounter, but DO NOT lose sight of the prize. We are dreamers, every one. Chase the dream down. Own the reality that you will pursue it until it becomes another thread woven into the rich tapestry of your life.



Discover what your are made of. Discover the beauty that surrounds us. Discover the many ways in which we can give, and the limitless gifts we receive in the giving.

So I encourage each of you dear readers to explore, to dream big and to discover the meaning of your own life. This journey takes a lifetime. While it’s never to late to start, the time is now to ramp it up. We have been learning all our lives. What have we not yet tapped in this exploration, these opportunities to discover?

“Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today"

The fire is burning brightly this morning, the embers are hot, their flickers creating messages of HOPE in healing thoughts for those across the miles, smiles on the winds... Sending healing thoughts of love, energy and prayers on the breezes for all whose names you often read here ~
Jill who is back in chemo this week, with warpaint on... Chris in NY, Cindy in Northern VA, Shelby who is 6 years old, and the many others who are fighting their fights, and asking for prayers, please remember them...

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing today... do it the best way you can, take time for YOU and HOPE, reach, explore, discover and wonder through the eyes of a child, the desire of a little Black Bear and the grace of an Elder...

note: yes, this is brief today... heehe, got to keep ya wondering, but no, didn't have tea!

Walk In Beauty,
