Tune in to silence

There is so much noise in the world these days. Economic fears and elections seem to fill the airwaves. I feel no matter the level of the volume on the TV or radio, all are shouting for attention. I understand the importance of it all. I also understand the importance of living a life of integrity. When all the outside noise is turned off, and I sit in the silence of my heart, what is important to me then? What other perspectives are available when the noise in tuned out?

Questions to Ponder.

What can be learned from the silence?

What does it mean to create a sacred space?

The word sacred brings many images to my senses. I think of times when ordinary events become extraordinary because I saw them with new eyes. One such time was when I was with a group of friends. One friend was struggling with events unfolding in her life and another friend was almost giddy with how well things were going in her life. What made that moment sacred was each of us present could be fully present to what was unfolding. The tears of frustration and the energy of laughter could co-exist because each of us chose to be present to the other.

Other possible sacred events are how a parent loves a child or how friends see something about each other in a new way that causes them to take a moment to appreciate that new insight. That moment when things come together to make a new situation and you realize your effort helped cause that to happen....that is sacred!

If someone told me - - -

How would you finish the sentence? Here are a few of my ways to finish that sentence!

If someone had told me twenty or even ten years ago, I would speak before a room full of people, I would have thought them crazy! .

If someone told me I would be living in Arkansas, I would have never believed them!

If someone had told me in high school that I would enjoy golf, I would have passed out from laughing too hard!

This past month, I had several different public speaking engagements and I received positive feedback. I also got par on a hole while playing golf with friends.

Whether it is growth past old fears or embracing new activities, continually learning is a great way to celebrate life!

Celebrate your life - and make your own list of "if someone told me" statements. Share them with others and post them here. I would love to celebrate with you!

What Do You Value Most In LIfe?

What does it feel like when what how you spend your time aligns with what you value? For me, it is the closest I can imagine to parachuting! The exhilaration of total freedom, to be at the mercy of the wind and trusting that the chute will open. To see the big picture come into detailed focus as you fall towards earth.

I value the freedom to enjoy life! I value learning and curiosity. What is of value in this moment? What attitude do I freely choose to engage when things are less than perfect? A few weeks ago, I had a really tough few days and I was very discouraged. I e-mailed a friend just to get it out of my system. The response I got helped me get back on course with what I wanted to do.

I so love those moments when I free fall into the greatness of life! I am contnually learning to treasure those sometimes more frequent moments when I recognize the beauty of a caring friend when I needed re-alignment!



Perspective to Ponder:

How do those most important to you recognize they are valued? What do you value and how do those important to you know that?
