...begin...



Don't ask where I found Liz Lamoreux because I'm not quite sure.  From a link on another blog, through Pinterest or maybe Brene Brown ... I just don't recall.  And honestly it doesn't matter.  She's a gift.  She writes this blog with advice about being present, being me, trusting your heart ... all the things that we need to be reminded each day .. sometimes throughout the day!

She has a shop on Etsy where I found this item called, 'a mystery soul mantra chosen just for you' in the form of a metal tag on a necklace.  I'm all about believing there are no mistakes, so I knew that whatever she chose for me would be the 'right' thing.

The package arrived today with wonderful cards inside that I will use as bookmarks and reminders on my nightstand to see each day.  They say, 'trust your heart,' 'open up and live,' and even 'dear beautiful soul may you give yourself the gift of five breaths, may you stand tall in the truth that you are deeply loved, and may you open your heart even more today and may you know you are enough..'

Wow!

And the best part.  The necklace.

it says ..

'begin'

How could she have known I was getting ready to begin another tremendous chapter in my life.  A move,  a new job, a new adventure ... all this newness.  And what was the message?  Begin.  just begin.

    Lea - thanks! Our move is to Wylie - and until I looked it up I didn't realize you were in the Fort Worth area! We're originally from upstate New York, via central VA and central IL - so Texas is a complete change for us! Looking forward to the adventure!

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...
