When I give lectures and presentations, I often look for quotes that offer some extra insight or perspective or inspiration for the audience. I also find that through my life, many of them have served as guidance and inspiration for me as well. Here are a few of my favorites. I hope you like them and find them useful. I don’t think they need explanation……. Wishing for us all…a new year full of healing opportunities, safety and well-being for this planet and all its beauty and living things.
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel
1. Be Impeccable with your Word

Walk in Beauty: Closing Prayer from the Navajo Way Blessing Ceremony
In beauty I walk
With beauty before me I walk
With beauty behind me I walk
With beauty above me I walk
With beauty around me I walk
It has become beauty again
Today I will walk out, today everything negative will leave me
In beauty all day long may I walk.
Through the returning seasons, may I walk.
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.
With dew about my feet, may I walk.
With beauty before me may I walk. With beauty behind me may I walk.
With beauty below me may I walk. With beauty above me may I walk.
With beauty all around me may I walk. It has become beauty again
It has become beauty again
