  • Welcome!

    by Margaret Simeone

    Welcome to a world of spiritual awakening, synchronicity, and well-being. I created this space to share stories of joy and adversity because I know that life will teach, remind and heal us when we stay heart-centered, listening to our inner wisdom. A visit to this Waipeo rainforest home in Hawaii reminds me to move through life appreciative and open to what lies ahead. It was offered by a couple we hardly knew.

Quote of the Day

"It is in suffering that we have the opportunity to learn how to transform our misery into joy, our despair into gratitude, and our cynicism into wisdom."

Pete, the ball-buster, humor, and the gratitude dance

by Margaret Simeone

My inspiration for this article came from my friend, Candace, who responded to my last post about my husband’s silliness. She’s the one who sent me this picture of the gorillas and said it was of two females enjoying a silly secret that only the two of them understand. She knows laughter is the best medicine. It is my friend, Pete, however, who is responsible for me writing this. He laid out a ball-buster project for me and I reluctantly agreed to do it. Ball-buster is defined as an arduous task. Ballbuster, on the other hand, is a person who is relentlessly aggressive, intimidating, or domineering. See the difference? Pete is definitely not the latter. But he does hold my feet to the fire. He knows I can procrastinate and challenged me to write four articles in April. Make them spontaneous and short and just get them out there. Then write four more in May. One must be a video of you talking. Good grief! My coach had suggested the same video assignment, but I knew Pete wasn’t...

Living without regret

by Margaret Simeone

Most of us are familiar with the common regret of those who are at the end of their lives. They don’t worry so much about what they did as much as what they didn’t do. It’s the living with regret that seems to haunt the dying. We don’t take the time to reflect on what we haven’t done because, quite frankly, we’re just so busy doing.
