Life Choices

Each day that we awaken, we have an infinite number of choices to make.

Take a deep, relaxing breath.  Feel the air as it fills your lungs.  Feel your lungs expand down towards your abdominal cavity.  Work that diaphragm!   As oxygen permeates every cell and your brain awakens, be thankful for this miracle called life.

Don't take anything for granted.  No relationship, no circumstance, nothing....

Be conscious and mindful every moment!  Make choices that enhance your life.

The Same

We are all the same.  Regardless of what is seen or perceived superficially, in the natural, we're the same.  Underneath it all.....

We judge each other.  We assume things.  We separate ourselves and become decisive.  Why?

If we would only look beyond the thin covering and into the inner lining. 

So what if my hair is kinkier than yours or my eyes are more round.  Who cares that my shoe size is an eleven or I sometimes frown!

All of the great, historical religious leaders spoke of peace!  Whether you've studied Moses, Christ, Buddha, Muhummad, or Confucious......the message of peace.....the same!

PEACE

Finding myself

For the past two months,i have been on a self-imposed hiatus from food. I've learned a lot about myself. I have depended so much on food to comfort me, to shield my emotions, to celebrate, to commiserate. Now, I've experienced raw emotions. I've white knuckled my way through a family reunion and thanksgiving. I've had a handful of food, but nothing substantial. I've enjoyed the increased energy, improved sense of well-being. I've wanted to stop. I've had fear. I'm still learning. I have a long way to go. I want health, vibrancy, wholeness, wellness..... I want to help others! But, I'm still so egocentric. Into myself, my issues, my problems.....but learning! Each experience=opportunity for learning! Each choice I make is a chance to learn something. I haven't failed. My course hasn't been as expected, nevertheless, I forge onward!
