A Plan...

 

 "You don't always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breath, trust, let go and see what happens."

This is hard for me. I'm such a planner and want/need to know all the details and I'm sure it gives me some sense of feeling like I have control. But I find myself wanting more of this in my life - to... breath... trust... let go... and see what happens. This is a present moment by present moment challenge, but with each moment that passes I hope I will get a little better at it!

Notice...

This was on someone's railing ( pretty cool... I thought).

I had mentioned in an earlier post that I was going to start taking more pictures using my phone. One thing I noticed since I've been doing that, is it makes me take notice of the small details, the present moment's in my day. It helps me pause... and that's a "good thing!"

Details...

Woke up overwhelmed this morning with thoughts about so many things going on in my life right now. When the scope of everything looks to large it's time to narrow it down and concentrate on the little things. That is where I am grateful and can see the beauty. Today "all is well" and I'm holding on to all that's good in the fine details of my life!

Nature Weaving...

This is one of my favorite pieces of art in my house. It was made at a home school gathering years ago and different people contributed to it during that gathering. I continue to add and weave in and I never get tired of looking at it. It reminds me of friendships and our connectedness to each other and to the great Mother Earth. This picture doesn't do it justice, because the beauty is in the fine details... Just like us!

My Favorite Thing...

"Wishy"

 ~ is what I've called this weed since I was a little girl. It has always been one of my favorite things. There is something about looking at this and seeing natures wonder, its detailed perfection. Makes me pause and take a step back into letting go of all those tiny details in my life that will come together if I stop resisting. If I let go of "my" detailed perfection and just "be" in the present moment. My life's intentions will be blown in the wind, just as a wishy on a bluster day with no idea of where they may land. With no idea where I will be planted "anew." When you blow on a "wishy"of intentions, you scatter endless possibilities.
