A friend who has been having a difficult year but is seeing light the end of the tunnel sent out an email this morning to thank those of her friends who have been there while she was going through it. I was grateful and proud to be included in that email. This note was included at the end of her email and it resonated with me so I wanted to share...

"Nothing has to be achieved in order to be at Peace. All we have to do is stop doing, stop wanting things to be different, stop worrying, stop getting upset when things don't go as we would wish, or when people don't behave as we think they should. When we stop doing all the things that obscure the peace that is there at our core, we find that what we have been seeking all along is there waiting silently for us."
