Peace and Joy

Peace and Joy can you imagine, both in one day, every day, for the rest of your life? It is amazing to me that with a change in perspective, I have been able to find both in each breath. That's not to say I don't get angry, because I do. Ask my husband. But I am really working at taking each obstacle not as a personal assault, but as a challenge to be overcome.


In the past week I had the privilege of attending a training for self care with the wonderful Julie McGrath, LICSW of  www.thejoysource.com.  She really helped me to recognize that I get to decide. I can walk around with a chip on my shoulder, or I can do something about the things that are bothering me.  Then I started to think. What bothers me is hatred. The angst and negativity that is over taking our world. It is smothering, and I'm not down with tolerating it any more.  So I decided to write this blog, and here we are.


So what has made me happy this week. Well last night I dragged Val to a yoga class and boy were we in for a surprise. More like an experience. I mean the physical aspect of the yoga practice was great, but it's never just that with Sadie, and the live music and movement as Dreaming Bear had an entire room of yogis thumping our hands on the floor and singing along was amazing.  I keep singing in my head "little by little" which we repeated for about 6-8 mins as our answer of how we are going to change the world.


How are you going to leave a lasting effect if how you communicate with the universe it though nasty grams? What you put out is what you get back, is nasty what you're looking for? Keep this in mind, If today were your last day, what would you want peoples lasting impression of you to be? Are you putting out the best you for you? 


So I leave you with this question, How are you going to change the world? When you are gone, will the cosmos know you existed? In the words of Dreaming Bear himself, "have you ever given the universe goosebumps?"  If no, then lets get moving people, little by little....little by little.
