I have been ill with the flu over the last few days, however, I chose to look at the time I had to spend resting
as a blessing. I rekindled my zest for life and developed a new vision and direction for a project. I am almost recovered
and even more excited about life and all of my people.
Are you visualizing a new goal? Perhaps a new opportunity? Are you at the point
where you are wondering whether it will happen or not? Consider looking at your current life. Are you overscheduled? Are your
closets, home, and/or car cluttered? Do you have financial matters or loose ends to take care of? Consider tackling some of
these areas in order to make room for something new in your life. If your current life is packed, there is no room for
new goals or new opportunities. I have been visualizing a new area that I wanted to develop in my business, and then I realized
when I looked at my calendar that I did not have even an extra half hour in my week for anything new. I relentlessly reviewed
my commitments to decide what would go or stay in order to allow room for growth in this new area. I also cleaned out my mail
pile and my junk drawer. this morning, I had a new opportunity come to me unexpectedly. Open up some space (literally or metaphorically)
in your life to allow new ideas and good to pour into the newly created space.
Do you find yourself on the fence at times? Maybe you are wondering what direction
your life is going or should be going? At times like this, appreciate quiet and stillness. Cultivate patience and wait for
the answer. Don't try to force it. Often, we get caught up in action and doing, and we forget about being and listening.
Do you need to quiet your thoughts?
I spent a day this weekend reflecting, resting, and trying to keep my mind open to new thoughts. I woke
up bright and early this morning with a fresh approach and a new direction for a project. This is my reward for welcoming
quiet and stillness into my day yesterday.
Recently I was in a situation where I was teaching a class and I kept feeling a certain nudging to share some
of my personal experiences regarding the death of my younger brother and a difficult situation that I faced with my daughter.
So I did share my experiences with the group. After the class, I found myself feeling upset and vulnerable. I finally determined
that I am use to being strong and fearless. This sharing time illustrated the reality that I do struggle, just like everyone
else. Still, I thought that maybe I overshared. Throughout the week, though, I experienced a series of emails and conversations
with people letting me know that my sharing had deeply touched them. I also had some people tell me about their own similar
life experiences. This was exactly what I needed to prove to myself how important it is to listen to that nudging feeling,
as it appears for reasons we may not understand. Trust your intuition. What are you being nudged to do?
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending a tea at the historic Mitchell Tappan House (which is listed
in the National Historic Register) in Hibbing, MN. The home is an 1897 Victorian home, now a Bed and Breakfast, and I
recalled having Easter dinner at the home with previous owners when I was a child. Anyone traveling to Hibbing would experience
a relaxing and comfortable stay, as well as experiencing one of Pam Turnbull's delicous breakfasts. www.mitchell-tappanhouse.com Thank you to Connie Nylund for hosting the event. We had great conversations in a beautiful setting
with yummy treats. I can't wait to go back.
