Pema Chodron reminds us that our crazy and awesome are all mixed into the same bowl. Remove what you think does not belong and there goes the richness and uniqueness, the youness that could not be replicated. 

Begin to take note of what continues to find you. Observe with intent and notice how the presence of these small appearances can bring comfort and offer direction.
