Daily Wonder Day 13: Oh my gosh – I missed a day of posting-but for such a good reason. There was travel involved and big life decisions to be made, a sick boy and...the birth of my new niece. There is nothing quite like holding a newborn in your arms and watching them fully embody their little body. What a gorgeous and loved little girl. And amazing parents.
Daily Ponder Day 14: I am so grateful today. I was extremely busy with several projects today and I was very productive. I moved from one task to the next to the next, hardly taking a breath to relax. Okay, I was a little stressed. But right now, in this moment of silent inquiry I am remembering a time in my life when I was grieving and sad and could hardly do one thing all day long. I know one thing for sure – there is an ebb and flow to life and everything changes. Today I am grateful for the challenges, the changes, for the unknown and for what is yet to be. I am mostly grateful for the loving which is present even when you can’t see it or touch it.
Day 15 Daily Ponder: Today I had the good fortune to have focused creative time with a team of people who inspire me, I like, who have integrity and are open. We all share the same goal and we each have something unique to give to our project. I wonder what has to come together to form these kinds of relationships consistently. In gratitude for grace and action today.
Day 16 Daily Wonder: Yesterday was so full. I was coached by a dear friend and excellent coach. It’s so great when someone who knows you and knows your work and what’s important to you can hold a space for you to see beyond your surface fears. Then I was guided to sign-up for a complimentary call about the power of intention. Something shifted and my awareness of Truth deepened.
Day 17 Daily Wonder: Today I got to experience the rich rewards of yesterday’s support, inner shift and new actions. It’s a time of growth and great activity and it feels so great to allow Spirit (not just the little me) to do the work. Ask yourself if there is a way for you to delegate some of the things on your To Do list to the Universe. This way the silence between your actions can be more present to you. It’s so beautiful. My To Do list is becoming more of a dance.
Day 18 Daily Ponder: Is it really possible to change your day based on calling in prayer or Spirit before an important call, meeting or decision to be made? Today I said a prayer before someone I know had to make an important call and it completely changed her energy plus the call could not have gone more gracefully. I wonder if the call would have gone differently if it was made from an anxious place. I think so. I think that so much of what we get back is from the energy we give out.
Day 19 Daily Ponder: I was a huge Lance Armstrong fan. I saw him cycling in the tour in Marseilles and Paris during one of his winning years. I believed and believed and believed in the miracle of Lance Armstrong. I saw part of Oprah’s part 1 interview and couldn’t finish it. He appeared remorseless. I had no idea about how many people’s lives he destroyed through his lies and attacks. What he’s done seems unforgivable and yet I am passionate about how toxic unforgiveness is to the person who holds it as anger and righteousness. Lance’s seemingly sociopathic tendencies remind me of my father and his personality. Lance’s book should not have been called, “It’s Not About the Bike.” It should have been called, “It’s Not About the Bike. It’s About Winning.” Looking into my anger, feelings of betrayal, loss of a heroic figure and why it means so much to me personally. What are your thoughts?
Day 20 Daily Wonder: How much does my energy make a difference in other peoples lives? I know that when I receive an email that has an angry or anxious energy behind it I can feel it. That’s why I advise my life-coaching clients to always feel neutral or positive when they are sending their communications out and to do the inner work they need to before they make a call or send an email if they are triggered. I know that when I am around someone who is negative that I feel dumped upon by them, I get down, so I don’t spend much time around people who are judgmental. When I watch the news (which seems impersonal) I usually feel fearful, powerless or judgmental. It make me anxious so I rarely watch. I understand that I can justify why I feel betrayed by Lance Armstrong, but what is my responsibility in how I hold my emotions or talk about it? Maybe the way to get past it is by going through it, meaning feeling my feelings fully during an inner process so I can let them go. Lance may not be personally affected but I will feel better and I imagine those around me will feel better too because I won’t be in judgment. And then there is the belief that ultimately we are all one and that means that Lance’s actions are merely reflecting back to me parts of myself that I’ve buried or find unforgivable. I call in forgiveness and loving to help me with this.
Day 21: I had one of the most profound experiences of my life today during my meditation. The process began as an interpretation of a very vivid dream I had last night. I let the imagery of the dream inform everything I was feeling. I followed each feeling and then changed my actions within the dream and felt into that. Something miraculous happened in my day shortly after I came out of the meditation. I don’t think it was a coincidence. I’m in deep gratitude for this new place of awareness and expansiveness that I am experiencing. Anyone have something similar to share?
Day 22: I was able to bring the energy from my meditation yesterday to a client coaching session today. I felt grateful to hold the space. I felt enriched and nourished. I’m excited to bring this energy to all of my work. I am starting to truly see that there is no separation except the separation we impose through our limits and fears. I was able to bring the expansive and direct energy from my meditation and the coaching session into parts of the rest of my day despite the fact that the circumstances wouldn’t normally allow me to…or so I believed before. That belief no longer rules me. My question: How well do you bring your sense of peace during meditation into the rest of your day?
