Mantra: I am enough.

Sharing

Today, I found this, (the official music video trailer for the upcoming film, One Day On Earth) posted by Karen Walrond, of Chookooloonks, which she shared via her friend Ryan, whose site I, also, now love.

And, now I'm sharing it here with you, because that's how we roll.

Enjoying the Power of "RE"

This morning, when I saw the blanket of snow covering the treetops and ground, my first instinct was to groan...but I didn't.

Instead, I noticed how refreshing is was...how easy it was to breathe. I noticed how, lately, I'm all about the "RE".

reframe, refresh, restart, reset, rejuvenate, rediscover, redefine, reinvent, recover, rejoice!

Happy Easter

Oh, how I love this quote...

"Easter says you can put truth in a grave,

 but it won't stay there."

Floating

Lately, I've been on my knees, with my head in the clouds.  Really, I almost feel like I am a cloud, floating aimlessly in the sky.

It seems like everything is different, yet nothing has changed at all...except, I guess, for me.

I can't put my finger on exactly what has put me here, in a place of peace and silence.  I look back, and see not one big thing, but a bunch of little things that have lead me here.

But...silence! The quieting of my mind...I don't think I've been able to do that ever.  I've wrestled with it a little, believing that to be idle is somehow wasteful and unproductive, but I've come around to see "the float" is actually taking me somewhere.

I've been in the dark for a long time. Maybe it was depression, or maybe it was just my need to persevere and make everything that's wrong in my life "right". I don't know...

I just know now, that it's not up to me. I know that it's okay, even necessary, to let go. Not just think about letting go, or like the idea of letting go, but really, really let go...

...and float.

A crazy thing happened to me this morning, (a crazy thing happened yesterday too, but I'm going to share that story over at Far Out Farm).

After I dropped Griffin off at school, I turned left out of the parking lot instead of right.  I laughed at myself, because going left takes longer, it's out of the way, but going left meant that I was driving down the street I used to live on; a street that I just learned had a new farm on it.

I laughed, because I knew that what I was doing was, looking for a sign (or just being nosey).

Yesterday, I had read an article in our city's magazine about this farm's non-profit venture, to help match those that need food with those who have the resources to produce food. Great idea, huh? (You can read all about it here, if you'd like.)

Anyway, I turned left...

Right away I noticed the funky writing in the sky. I don't know if it was clouds or jet stream, but it looked like the letter 'W'.

Like this...

Of course I kept looking at it. 'W', I wonder what that means?

As I got closer, it didn't look a 'W' anymore.  It looked instead like 'U1', or 'Ul'.  What was the message?  What the heck was the sky trying to say?

I passed the farm with barely a glance, too busy with my head in the clouds. When I got to the stop light, it was clear.

It said 'UP'.

"Ah," I said, so happy and relieved to be able to read sky code...so happy and relieved that it confirmed what I already knew.

I love signs.
