Hi, dear Soul –
Warm greetings and blessings to you!
May you be filled with lovingkindness.
May you be safe and protected from all inner and outer dangers.
May you be well in body and mind.
May you be at ease and happy.
———————————————-
For most of the last month, I was travelling through Southeast Asia –
Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar and Malaysia –
and I’m happy to report that I danced through most of it.
YAY!
I’ve been back in Vancouver for about 10 days,
being gentle with myself as I get back on Pacific Time (!) and digest all that’s happened…
What’s most resonating in me is the other side of TRUST: FAITH…
And that the answer to HOW is YES.
(YES was my word for 2012, and FAITH was my word for 2013…
I love and appreciate that old lessons are sinking into my bones more and more deeply!)
In honour of FAITH and saying YES, I’d like to share a video with you of “I Say Yes”, a song from my CD “YES”. May its playfulness give you joy, and may it bring you peace. Here’s a link to the video:

You can find the words to “I Say Yes” here: https://www.nathenaswell.com/page4/page4.html
(All of my songs are listed in alphabetical order.)
Wherever any and all of us find ourselves, may we be filled with FAITH and say YES!
How about YOU, dear Soul?
What’s most resonating in YOU this month?
WHEREVER you are on your journey, I’d love to hear from you. Please e-mail me at nathenaswell@me.com; we’re all in this together, and we have much to learn from each other. 🙂
(BIG THANKS to all of the kind souls who respond to my monthly thoughts and lovingly support me on my journey. If you haven’t done so already, I encourage you to read their comments and explore their links on my “Feedback” page, https://www.nathenaswell.com/page10/page10.html – there’s some pretty wonderful stuff there.)
