The Season's Best Gift—in these challenging times
There’s a lot going on for all of us these days. Least ways, sure seems that way in my corner of the world.
I’ve been in some deep incubation, too deep to come up for the air of a creative post in a while… and not wanting to add to any of the noise in my or your world, it seemed best to stay quiet and listen. And right now, that seems like the season’s best gift I can give to myself, to those I love, and to the strangers I’ll encounter on the road as I travel these next few days.
I’m looking to ‘show-up’, to be present and available, to hold an open heart and mind, be willing to be changed, to listen below the level of words to what is happening in people’s lives…
Our challenges are many, and our hearts are big enough to to guide us through. You might want to mossy over to HearthMath and pick up your free De-Stress Kit too. It’ll help you listen to your own heart better, as well as to the one in the chest of someone important to you… and maybe even to the Heart of the World… who knows? Check it out!
Remember, be well, and stay wild! this Holiday Season.

Makes me tired just thinking about it. But I’ll give it a try, right after a nap.

P.S. I’m a HeartMath fan. Their researched approach works.
