Agenda today:

1. My bump plan

2. Read "Perspective"

3. New narrative for ease and order

5. Writing themes and passion flow plan

Return to Ease

As I've said, this summer has been "busy". I am feeling stressed by the nagging sensation that I am behind on responsibilities, and also the feeling that I'm not taking time to enjoy summer days. 

Monday is my day to reset for the week and get my ducks in a row - make some plans for health and home, and prepare for Grandson fun and for a return to ease.

Agenda:
1. Read "The Sweet Spot"

2. Plan for summer ease

3. Big outdoor building projects

Why Love?

Every year or two, I practice a 30-day love cycle of reading, thought, and small actions that help me to cultivate and improve the habits that allow me to keep love central in my life, and in my everyday interactions. 

Love is the key to happiness and success in all areas. Life is lived in relationship- in community- and no matter how brilliant and effective I am, I will struggle if I have poor relationships with the people in my life. Love is also a frame for my bond with the earth, with Spirit, and with myself.

Love is a practice, not a belief or feeling. It’s a set of habits learned over a lifetime: Listening, giving, speaking and acting in a loving way. It’s a way of being, with my attention on compassion, patience, generosity, kindness, and understanding. 

“By celebrating—and sharing—the love that already lives inside us, we can free ourselves from the fear, anger and sadness that cause so much suffering. I have seen firsthand that when we open our hearts to love’s abundance we are able to transform our lives and make the world a more just and peaceful place… When put into practice in our daily lives, these simple habits help us make the choice, day after day, to reject fear’s hold and embrace, instead, the immense power and grace within us.” --Ed Bacon

Agenda today:

1. Love plans

2. Be at ease
