Be Counting Time?

Leave a comment

IMG_1929[1]

We are fortunate to have four, well-rounded seasons in our part of the world.

They flow easily and gently through beautiful hot summers, into a cool, colourful autumn, then a crisp, snowy winter and a mild, life-giving spring.

Can you feel the change in the air right now during this season?

It is almost as though now should be the new year.

The greatest gift of these seasons we are given each and every year, consistently without question is that we are all given the gift of the same amount of time.

No less than another and no more.

What will you do with this gift of your time during this new season?

Will you make your time count or just count the time?

You can choose.

No excuses.

It is your gift.

The seasons come.

Time goes.

Be enough.

Be Pressing Pause

Leave a comment

When your mind is on a hamster wheel and the thoughts keep turning around and around, 

Press pause. 

When you feel the side of the walls closing in on you, 

Press pause. 

When the busyness of your life begins to overtake you, 

Press pause. 

Don’t be afraid to stop for a moment or two.  

Jump in. 

Press pause. 

When you desire to press pause you can choose people who help you to get away. 

  
When you need to press pause you could go to a remote place.  

  
When you want to press pause you could choose to meditate.  

“Be still and know I am God. 

Be still and know I am. 

Be still and know I.  

Be still and know.  

Be still and.  

Be still. 

Be. 

Be still. 

Be still and. 

Be still and know.  

Be still and know I.  

Be still and know I am. 

Be still and know I am God.” 

(You can say this aloud as many times as you need to start your ‘pause’) 

  
When you know you need to press pause simply lying down on the ground will help.  

Purposely press pause this long weekend.  

You won’t regret it.

Be a Tour Guide not a Travel Agent

Leave a comment

I have a daily choice to make on how I want to live my life.

My life.

Impacting others.

My choice.

On how others impact me.

I have made the decision that I am going to live the rest of my days as a TOUR GUIDE.

I will be a leader.

I will speak clearly and kindly.

I will explore new places with excitement.

I will be show love and forgiveness to those on this journey with me.

I will try all sorts of new food.

I will jump into new activities.

I will not sit in my desk as a travel agent, but I will lead the tour!

Here I am with my boys:

I am taking 100% responsibility for MY LIFE.

I am going to neither blame nor complain.

I will continue to LOVE deeply those placed around me.

I will listen.

I will ask.

I will be overflowing with gratitude that my basic needs of food, clothing and housing are completely met.

I am going to live my dream and create a clear vision for my family.

I will allow my path to wander.

I will believe.

I will know that what others think of me is none of my business.

I will set goals and create small daily tasks for myself.

I will look for others who have done what I am going to do.

I will link arms with those who inspire, encourage and love me as I am.

I AM releasing the BRAKES.

Here we go….
