Beautiful...

I've been keeping up with the weather a lot lately and with that comes "bad news" that I don't care to hear but find myself listening even when I don't want to ( the news is something I rarely ever watch). So I needed a beautiful picture to reset my mind and change my focus. I'm feeling better already...

Brave...

"I'm often humbled by the orchestration of it all. This is a wild ride but it's not unsupervised. It's not about what I think I can do. It's about what I'm willing to open up to doing in any given moment."

I was brave today and went out into the unknown. I was partly working on someone else's behalf but part of it was about me. I did it - I really really did it! I'm not sure selling (especially myself) will ever be my favorite part but I hope it will become more comfortable. I was "willing" to open myself up in the given moment. Awesome Nancy !!!!!!!

Baby Goose...

Near my house is a pond that sits to close to the road. As I was headed down the highway this morning, most of a flock of geese had crossed the ramp except one baby goose and its parent. The adult goose was screaming and flapping it's wings because one of the babies had been hit by a car. I had to stop! I got out and picked up the limp body and placed it ever so gently out of harms way and hoped that mom or daddy goose would find some comfort in the rescue. I don't think the little one will make it but at least they can grieve in safety.  I just cried feeling so helpless to do anything else for the wee one. But I have to believe the Universe will provide what the geese need and the rest will remain safe.

Setting Sun...

I love the setting sun and how it symbolizes the ending of another day. It makes me reflects on how well I loved and how well I lived this day. As I sleep, I find peace that "all is well" and sweet dreams transcends me to a new dawn.

Bubbles...

Somedays get heavy and full of responsibility. When I have a day like that I need to go outside and be a kid again and blow some bubbles! It's a good reminder to lighten up and not take life to seriously!

Up Close and Personal...

I've made it a habit when checking out at a store to notice the persons name. Then as I'm leaving I say thank you (and say their name). They always glance up at me and a smile spreads across their face. It's a nice gesture to offer the many people we encounter each day. It adds that personal touch and it's just a small simple thing that acknowledges their presences and the job their doing.

Willing...

"Standing in our power isn't about how wonderful we are, as much as it's about how willing we are. We are willing to give what we have. We are willing to let our own sad opinion of ourselves grumbles in the background, but not stop us from standing in the foreground or standing on the new ground of sharing our true selves."

Words from book: Inspired & Unstoppable

For me it goes back to that "being vulnerable thing." I have to gather courage to KNOW that I will be okay if exposed. And to want it more then not, because not exposing myself keeps me stuck! I'm willing to take small steps, like writing on this blog everyday. That is bold for me and the longer I do it the more comfortable I'm becoming. Then I'll take another step then another...
