Dignity Sept.28, 2026

 “The most luxurious possession, the richest treasure anybody has,  

is his personal dignity.” Jackie Robinson

Every week I choose a word to inspire, motivate, and aid you on your path in life. I particularly love this one, I hope you like it too. 

Dignity

From Google:

Dignity—Inherent Worth: "The absolute right of a person to be valued and respected for their own sake, independent of utility, rank, or status."

You are born into this world with worth. Life’s journey is all about understanding, developing, and expressing your unique value. It also involves a deep respect for our fellow Earth travelers.

You have made choices in life that are unfortunate and do not reflect your inherent value. Learn from them and move on. Experiment with expressions of respect and compassion. Hold self-esteem as vital. Explore what moves you to create and share your uniqueness. 

Dignity is not aloof. Dignity does not judge. Dignity is kind, expansive, grounded, centered, determined, and loving. Remember each person possesses a Universal spark. Respect that spark in others and shine your light with dignity out into the world.

Sending you love and light,

Nora

Self-Care October 2026

 Self-Care

You are worth the quiet moment

You are worth the deeper breath

You are worth the time it takes

To slow down and be still and rest.

If you are physically fatigued, emotionally exhausted, or spiritually spent stop for a moment.

Find a location that nurtures you. Ideally it will be a spot where you can be alone. It might be a park, library, museum, empty room, or a comfy bed. Turn off your phone. Close your eyes and breathe. Recognize that universal love surrounds you.

Roll your neck and shoulders. Stretch your arms overhead. Fresh oxygen and blood will travel to the places that are tight and tired. Feel the difference. Open your mouth wide. Squeeze your eyes shut and open them wide. Yawn. Exhale. 

Stay still for a few minutes. If your mind wanders to stressful thoughts push them aside. Just be.

Your life stresses may be far from over but you can aid your body in moving through them with a little self-care. 

Practice every day and know "This too shall pass."

Sending you love and light,

Nora
