Choose Peace

Choose Peace
So many times in my life I did not remember that I had this choice. I think that makes me human, as I know I’m not alone in this experience. But today I remembered. Today I stayed connected to my divinity and I remembered that peace is a state of Be-ing. It is how one can go about handling a difficult situation that allows one to….for lack of a better way to explain it…not make things worse.
Peace keeps things in perspective, it keeps your emotional state intact, and it requires a connectedness that is rooted in – what I call- the BIG picture.

I had a wonderful opportunity today – on 11-11-11 – at 5:55 this morning to choose peace within a chaotic and pitiful situation. It is now 7:55 and all is well. Best of all…I FEEL the peace, I feel the gratitude, I feel the connection to the BIG picture. I get to have an amazing day, all because I remembered to choose peace.

How often to you remember that peace is a choice? How will your life be different if you remembered that more often? How will you remind yourself that it IS your choice?

..for the love of...

It. What's your "it" ? What do you for the love of it? I have pets, sit on the screened in porch with a glass of wine, journal each morning, put my face towards the sun in the winter months to remind me of what I get to have again, plant seeds and bulbs and water them at dusk...

The things I do...for the love of it...is who I am. In my best moments I am at peace, filled with a peaceful joy and fully content with life. I embrace what is, while tending to my future.
What Ive learned recently is how I'm most in love with my life when I'm fully in the present moment "while" tending to my future. That hit me last week when I was speaking at the Women's International Day Event in Denver...I was SO in the moment, connecting to those beautiful faces mirroring back to me the connection we had. I wasn't thinking about the future or the launch of my new speaking career, or any business this talk would get me. I was connecting to what I love...for the love of it...and in that moment, I was the best of me. And in the short week or so, it's like when I feel the dirt under my nails as I plant the bulbs, or the sun on my face while there is snow on the ground...More Wonderful things are coming up...around the corner...on its way.

So for the love of...whatever it is...Empower the possibilities of "it"...and witness what follows.

For "it" is a beautiful thing.
