…something my mom always said to me when I was whining as a child…not sure I ever understood, not sure about the expression now…I feel like it’s lacking something. 🙂

But I do understand now how incredibly important patience really truly is. Even when one wishes things to be different than they are, move faster than they are moving, or occur in a different order. Would I have understood better if my mom would have quoted what’s below? Probably not, but here are some of my current favs. 

   
     I will ALWAYS be under construction. I’ll ALWAYS be practicing patience as a virtue. 

Breathe in LET,  breathe out GO.    
 

I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going.  And I have trained myself to love it.  Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight.  And as we fly, we still may not know where were are going to, but the miracle in in the unfolding of the wings.  You may not know where you are going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.

I recently saw the movie Birdman.

I loved it.  Althougth it is a “dark comedy” It reminded me that in life one of our main tasks/struggles is to ignore the noise in our head and FLY.  The film was so honest.  My main takeaway was just that.  Simple. Light in the midst of all the dark.

We are supposed to fly.

I love Soul Pancake.  Thank you for this video.  I did this exercise with someone I love one time.  It really was meaningful.  You might find this 5 minute video boring, but it make me smile, laugh, cry and reflect.

I’m so glad there are companies like Chipotle that attempt to put goodness into the world in print on their bags as you enjoy lunch to go.

I recently “misplaced” my beautiful diamond engagement ring. I looked everywhere for a week and a half. Finally it miraculously reappeared in a random location where it had not been lost.
The day I found it, I was overjoyed and didn’t let it out of my site.
I went to yoga. The instructor was awesome and led us through an incredibly challenging class. He read this to us as we began class…

November 13th (but really it was November 15th, but instructor read from 13th) Book of Awakening Mark Nepo

November 13 from The Book of Awakening: It is interesting that the nautical definition of marry is “to join two ropes end to end by interweaving their strands.” To marry one’s soul suggests that we interweave the life of our spirit with the life of our psychology; the life of our heart with the life of our mind; the life of our faith and truth with the life of our doubt and anxiety. And just as two ropes that are married create a tie that is twice as strong, when we marry our humanness to our spirit, we create a life that is doubly strong in the world.

What is the universe trying to teach me?

Norman wags his tail so fast, you can’t even see it in the picture. I aim to be more like him each day.

I love Theresa Caputo’s new book. I just finished. It was not what I expected. I didn’t expect all the great lessons inside. It was all of life’s lessons that I’m currently (and always will be working on) rolled into one book. All that I believe in and work to inspire within myself and others each day. Collage pic below of what I want to share from book.

Believe.
Have faith.
Trust.
Be grateful.
Let go.
Breathe.
Accept.
Enjoy.

Thank you @PrinceEa for these awesome videos. My intelligent husband sent them to me to watch…I love the message you are offering humanity.

I LOVE technology, but I completely agree with the message in this video below.

Even my morning coffee reminds me to do so. 💚
