Bliss Break®: A Ladybug Loveliness…
What an absolute joy to hike with my husband today, in search of the ladybug migration AND we found it! If you have never experienced a Ladybug Loveliness (swarm of ladybugs usually during the end of summer migration from the city to the mountains where they will winter) I highly recommend that you seek out this magical moment. I have returned to Genesee Park, where I first saw a loveliness at age 8 - over and over again, but today was the day. My heart is full. Thanks Honey, Thanks Spirit - I am grounded and grateful!

Today’s Bliss Break: Be Still Enough to Notice
I recently traded my usual world for a few days of “van life” camping with my sister - and somewhere between the mountains, the lake, the wildlife and having very little to distract me, something shifted.
I got still.

Not meditation-still. Not trying to be spiritual-still.
Just… still.

And when there was nowhere I needed to be and nothing demanding my attention, I began to notice how much was happening all around me.
- Deer quietly wandering through the trees.
- A pair of bald eagles across the lake that I watched for completely unknown amounts of time.
- Tiny wildflowers growing from rocky ground.
- Multiple rainbows appearing in the Colorado sky.
- Moonlight spilling through the clouds.
- An entire ecosystem going about its life without hurry.

What struck me most was how naturally everything seemed to coexist.

Nothing was trying to be something else.
The eagle was simply an eagle.�The deer moved at the pace of a deer.�The trees didn't compete for my attention.�The lake reflected whatever appeared above it.

Nature seemed to understand something we humans so easily forget: life doesn't always need to be pushed.

Sometimes guidance comes because we finally become quiet enough to notice it.

And as we recognize the space around the recent Sturgeon Moon, Summer coming to a close and the lunar eclipse, I’m thinking about illumination - about what becomes visible when we stop filling every empty space and allow ourselves to simply observe.

Today’s Bliss Break®:
Find somewhere beautiful - or simply somewhere quiet.
Put down the phone.�Stop measuring the minutes.�Look. Listen. Notice.
Don't ask the moment to give you an answer.
Just give it enough stillness to speak.

Little breaks. Big shifts.© Sometimes the greatest guidance comes when we stop moving long enough to receive it.💛

Today’s Bliss Break®: Be Your North Star
Yesterday we talked about listening to our spiritual compass - that inner guidance that gently points us toward what is true for us.

Today, I’m sharing an opportunity to take that idea a little deeper.

I am excited to be attending my friend Beth Kelley’s "Be Your North Star" event in a few weeks. It is a 3-day, in-person workshop designed for those who are ready to create meaningful change in their lives.

There’s something beautifully aligned about the idea of becoming your own North Star. We spend so much time looking outside ourselves for answers, reassurance and direction. But what if the wisdom we’re searching for is already within us?

A Bliss Break® can be the beginning.
Pause. Get quiet. Listen.
What is your inner compass telling you?� What would it mean to become your own North Star?� What might change if you trusted yourself enough to follow it?

Be Your North Star
September 25–27, 2026�Details and registration are on the flyer.

Little breaks. Big shifts.©

Today’s Bliss Break®: Check Your Spiritual Compass
Today’s message from my friend Rev. Kelly Robbins @kellyrobbinsrocks1 was a beautiful reminder that we each have an inner guidance system - a spiritual compass - always pointing us back toward the Divine within.

But in the noise, fear and busyness of life, it can be easy to stop listening.

So today, take a Bliss Break®.
Pause. Breathe. Turn within.
Ask yourself:
Am I moving from fear and force… or from love, openness and truth?
You don’t have to figure out the whole journey. Sometimes you simply need to get quiet enough to recognize the next gentle nudge.

Today’s affirmation:
I trust my spiritual compass. I pause, listen within, and allow Divine guidance to show me my next step.

Thank you, Rev. Kelly & Science of Mind magazine , for today’s beautiful reminder. 💛

Bliss Break®: The Optimist Creed...
This little gem, by Christian D Larson will change your life.

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

By Christan D Larson

Bliss Break®: Lady Bugs
Actually, this post is a mashup of my two books - Bliss Breaks and Spirit Invertebrates! 😎 This little beauty is a Two-Spotted Lady Beetle (Adalia bipunctata) and was captured on film on my Downtown Denver Condo Balcony.
