Showing others the miracles

As I've shared throughout the month about how I've shared my quest to find a miracle every day during the month of December with those in my closest circle. Yesterday was the pinnacle of that sharing.

The relationships I build are what fill me up inside. The interaction with others is what, I believe, we were put on this earth to cultivate. So yesterday when someone approached me to ask if they could forward an email invite to a meeting unexpectedly, a friend said, "I think I just witnessed one of your Christmas miracles!"

So go back a few months and this one of the resources in my work that struggled to understand what role I played and was intentional about leaving me out of meetings, and not sharing information. So this genuine change of heart was so amazing!

Sometimes it's not about the actual miracle. But the joy that comes from looking for them on a daily basis. And now that it's spread to others recognizing them I feel as though it has transcended the actual miracle.

Who would have thought?

Me, that's who!

Day 16: Six Word Memoir

"Thought about stopping, then ran harder." Day 16 for the Blogember challenge is a 6-word memoir. I could substitute 'ran' for 'tried' almost every day. Even if for just a brief moment I am paralyzed with fear, confusion, doubt - I press on. And that is the very best time …. knowing that I still have the power within me to continue to 'fight'. This can be a physical challenge, emotional challenge or just what appears to be a mountain of work to overcome…. whatever it is, if I choose to find a way through it, rather than around it - I'm successful. Happened again this week at work - and my husband reminded me last night. Why did you let it get you down for two days when you knew they best way to solve it was head-on, with a direct conversation? He's right. But I'm not successful with the conversation until I'm mentally prepared to have it. And yesterday I did. That's my mantra. For running, and for l...

And I'm back

Right now on the downslide to 2018 there are some things that need to change. I can feel them in my bones, in my heart and on my mind! This is going to be the year of me. Feeling, doing, loving better than I have before.... not wondering, resting and being cautious! This image is the inspiration I need. The critic is the inner critic. And i'm done listening to her. Here's what I know. I'm braver and stronger than I ever imagined. When someone says I can't do something I say, 'just watch me." So here goes. 2018 feeling better feeling stronger being curious being bold taking adventures taking time to do it right

Day 23: My Reverse Bucket List

Oh the commitment to Blogember - has enabled me to look forward to writing each day. And during a random day off from work yesterday, I was thinking, 'how can I continue this writing through the end of the year .. at least?" This has been a wonderful gift to me, enabling me to have a reason to write - not about the accomplishments that occur or even capturing the mundane moments - but the commitment to write on a pre-chosen topic has become a discipline that I believe I would miss if I stopped just because the calendar changes to December. More to come on that … My Reverse Bucket list is a new concept to me. I once did the Bucket List exercise with a friend choosing 10 things a day that we sent back and forth over email. Our lists reached 100 and when forced to come up with ten new ones a day I was sometimes surprised what showed up. The Reverse Bucket List - 2013 start to hike the 46 high peaks in NYS go back to school and get my degree meet ...
