Day 2: Favorite Inspiring Quote



That's the quote.  For today.  And most days I need reminding.   Breath.  Let it go!
Yesterday I had an awesome coaching session with a teacher, athlete, mentor, friend.  He taught me about energy and how to think about balancing:  Mental, Physical, Emotional and Spiritual energy.

He suggested books and articles and I'm eager to learn more.

When it comes right down to it, everything is made up of energy.  Including me.  And balancing that energy - or at least being aware that balancing that energy is an option - could really go a long way!

Physical energy is easy to understand, right?  We move, we walk, we run …

Mental energy is what exert when we think, solve, process information.

Emotional energy is how we express ourselves, connect to others or communicate through our emotions.  Can be self-confidence, self-discipline, sociability and empathy.

Spiritual energy is your connection to your purpose, your values and your sense of purpose.  That's the quiet one for me.  The inner connection to self.

So as mush as physical energy is expressed through a run, spiritual energy can be found through a meditation.  Imagine when it is balanced - a walk through a forest.  That really makes sense to me.

Today I will continue the research how to better balance my energy by learning what makes sense to me.  The beauty of self-discovery is that it is on my terms and digested on my timeline.

So to connect the blog to the theme for today's BLOGEMBER post, this quote is me.  Breathing, and letting go!

Month of Miracles

photo credit:   http://marcestes.com/2011/02/11/miracles-the-need-for-the-hour/ In the tradition of continuing the commitment to writing each day, I am beginning the month of December as I have for many years…. with a passage from Simple Abundance about December. "December's gifts - custom, ceremony, celebration, consecration - come to us wrapped up, not in tissue and ribbons, but in cherished memories.  This is the month of miracles.  The oil that burns for eight days, the royal son born in a stable, the inexplicable return of Light on the longest, darkest night of the year.  Where there is Love, there are always miracles.  And where there are miracles, there is great joy. Gratefully, we weave the golden thread of .. joy in our tapestry of contentment.  At last we embrace the miracle of authenticity, changing forever how we view ourselves.  Our daily round.  Our dreams.  Our destinies.  Days we once called common, we now call hol...

Day 18: Happiest Moment of my Life

For Day 18 of the Blogember challenge to blog each day during the month of November, today's topic is the Happiest Moment of my Life.  Hmmm. … this could get interesting! I believe that life is an array of moments strung together creating who we are and what we stand for.  And during those moments we encounter joy, pain, disappointment, sorrow, glee and a miriad of emotions and experiences along the way. Certainly the ones that stand out for me are the moment my daughter was born.  She was truly a gift from God - a miracle - a blessing - and long-awaited at that!  She's the life that my husband and I created from the love that we share.  And along that same vane, when I married my husband was an incredibly happy moment as well.  We didn't marry until age 35, each bringing our histories and patterns into the life we chose to share together.  It was a long road up until then, and now it's a shared one! Other happiest moments: *  Climbing...
