There is no time like the present to right a wrong
No time like the present to forgive yourself or another
No time like the present to love as if today is the last
No time like the present to extend the hand of friendship asking nothing in return
No time like the present to simply give to another
No time like the present to be there to hear another in their time of despair, time of fear, time of confusion
There is no time like the present to simply love for the sake of love
A love that expects nothing in return
A love that is purely from the space of the heart
When you are lonely be a friend
When you are hungry find someone to feed
When you are fearful find someone to console
It is in the ability to get outside of our own needs we are able to find the greatest comfort, love and meaning.

An amazing example of an unstoppable woman who overcame adversity is Sarah Walker. You have probably never heard of Sarah Walker but she caught my attention a few years ago. In 1905 Sarah developed a conditioning treatment for straightening hair.
Starting with door-to-door sales of her cosmetics, Sarah Walker amassed a fortune. In 1910 she built a factory in Indianapolis to manufacture her line of cosmetics. Before her death in 1919 she was a millionaire, one of the most successful business executives in the early half of the twentieth century. She was one of the first American women of any race or rank to become a millionaire through her own efforts.
Did Sarah have all the ducks lined up for her financial success? Absolutely not!
Sarah’s parents were both ex-slaves and Sarah was orphaned by the age of seven. Not a powerful start for anyone, especially a small black girl in the late 1800’s. Because of her impoverished background she had only a limited formal education. She was married at fourteen, “to get a home”, and had a daughter but was widowed at twenty.
For eighteen years, she supported herself and her daughter working as a washerwoman. Then Sarah had an idea to begin a cosmetics business. She added the prefix Madame to her name and took to the road marketing her hair products door-to-door. Tenacity, creativity, perseverance, determination and hard work made Sarah Walker the successful woman she was. Remember, if she can do it, so can you!

Overcoming Life Transitions
(in honor of Lynne Klippel)
Most people associate ‘overcoming’ with getting past life events that impact us the most, including someone dear returning to Source.
Much less than getting through, overcoming is allowing the full impact of the moment to reveal the sacredness within. To sit in silence, allowing the depth and fullness to embrace us is characteristic of a true overcomer.
Being an overcomer isn’t about rushing through life’s experiences—any of them—to find relief or feel better, for relief in any form is not the goal. Making peace within the current moment in its innate perfection is where overcomers most often find themselves.

Sangha, a Buddhist term that means community of all creation, is a word I learned one day from a friend and client. He noticed my loneliness, my feeling of aloneness without a sense of belonging or community at that time in my life. He, a faithfully practicing meditator in the Buddhist tradition, said to me, “One day Leela, you will find your sangha”
What I have since learned is that the sense of community I longed for really isn’t a thing at all. Community rather is a state of being.
Many of us feel estranged from community because we have a chronic feeing of not really belonging, anywhere. Now I know that community is ever present, ever available. It’s simply a matter of acknowledging the essence of connection inherent in the web that is life and harnessing that web energy. That web is everywhere, inter-weaving both the animate and inanimate in a spectacular community that truly does include all of creation.
As such I now recognize the many communities I am and have been part of that exist in a myriad of shapes and sizes. Some have lasted minutes, others years. What all these experiences of community have in common though is a sense of connectedness that brought and still brings meaning to my life. Sometimes brief but always profound, my experiences of community string together my existence across time and space that I know as my life tapestry.
The sangha concept of community that includes the natural world of the elements and more than human beings lends community a more vast and colorful weave and texture. With the endless index that accompanies this version of community, I savor now that I’m truly never alone, always in the act of community, the weaving of my sangha!
