Message In a Problem

When starting any journey it is very wise to start where you are. The problem has come into our lives to help us uncover something that is getting in the way of what we really want, to experience our Isness, the Truth of who we are. In a sense the problem is the messenger, it’s just that the message seems to be in code. I know I for one think I’d prefer my message to come on a silver platter with maybe some chocolate covered strawberries or at least flowers, but either I don’t notice those messages or I don’t listen or follow through or something because my messages seem to come more with a kick in the butt! I keep saying I’m willing to get a softer kinder message, but I must pay more attention to the kick in the butt, two-by-four over the head kind, because that’s what I’ve gotten. Call me human!

Let me share what I have learned from all of these two-by-fours and bruised hind side. It has taught me to stop and listen!

Really, stop right now and ask your current problem what message it brings you. You can start with questions like,

What is the main problem?

What do I think about the problem?

What do I feel about the problem?

What are the hard cold facts?

What are my judgements?

What are my discernments?

Zentangles!

I've been crazy about zentangles lately.  This fun doodle art is both a great re-minder and a wonderful Creative Discovering tool.  I have been calling them zen-un-tangles!  They re-mind me how peaceful I am when I am engaged in a creative endeavor.  They have re-minded me of so much more.  More images and thoughts coming soon!

Wave Back

One of the things I have always loved to do is make a crazy face at a kid in the grocery store when no one else is looking or wave at a kid staring out a window in a passing car.  Today I was driving down the freeway with my two girls and one of their friends in the car.  They were listening to their music as loud as I could stand it and laughing and giggling with one another.  I happened to look over and notice a girl about 9 or 10 years old just a little ahead of us waving vigorously out the window at every car that passed with no response.

When we got pretty close to her I opened the sun roof and waved back.  Oh my gosh, this must have made her day.  I thought she was going to bounce right out of her seat belt.  She immediately turned to the girl next to her, who was probably about a year younger, who almost instantly hung as far over the first girl as possible to stick her arm out the window and wave back.  I waved again, and this got the attention of my girls.

Pretty soon all my girls and I and the two girls in the other car were enthusiastically waving at each other.  This caught the attention of four little kids sitting in the back seat of a car just in front of us.  You could see them get each others attention and soon they too were waving their hands at all of us.  Everyone in our car was laughing and excited to connect with these people who we've never seen before, and will probably never see again. 

It totally made my day, and it all started with one little girl continuing to wave even when no one was waving back!

Every Experience

Every experience is about having a greater awareness of the Truth of Who You ARE!
Not most experiences.  All experiences.  Taking a walk, doing the dishes, aches and pains, withnessing the birth of a new baby, someone who does you wrong, getting a promotion, finding out that someone you love has a terminal illness, winning the game, fighting with someone close to you, watching an awesome movie, losing money in the stock market, every experience.  You name it.  Every experience is about having a greater awareness of the Truth of Who You ARE!

I am grateful for this experience which is here to lead me back to the Truth of Who I Am.
