Do It Now Challenge #7

Look at your hand and feel the energy running through it. Our bodies have so much to tell us if we are willing to listen. It all starts with noticing our energy. Just by focusing on one of our hands and feeling the energy, we are opening a doorway to experience more. Check back tomorrow…

#20 What Can I Do Now? Be Still and Listen

Sometimes we have to stop questioning and just be still and listen. We won’t ever hear the answers if we don’t quiet the inner chatter and stay open for the inner wisdom to prevail. I’m a person who asks a lot of questions. I’m love learning. I’ve always been like this, but sometimes it’s important…

#19 What Can I Do Now? Accept and Move On

Accept and move on, that my mantra for the moment. I almost got hit two times on one very short and easy car ride. I’ve decided that it’s not serving me to focus on the drivers. They are accountable and responsible for their own choices. I get to decide how I want to move on…

#18 What Can I Do Now? My Personal Mission Statement

Just before writing this, I had a conversation with author of Your Goal Guide, Debra Eckerling, for my Seeds of Wisdom series.

#14 What Can I Do Now? Get Grounded!

When life feels too chaotic, it’s time to get grounded. My life can feel overwhelming and messy at times. Sometimes my plate feels so full that I just want to drop it and run. If it gets this bad, I’m so scattered that I start operating in autopilot. This isn’t safe for anyone. It’s times…

#13 What Can I Do Now? Letting Go

When I’ve exhausted what I CAN do, it’s time to let it go. Letting go isn’t giving up. Letting go is accepting what is, and working from there. Holding onto a dream or a nightmare of what’s not real is a choice. Worrying and wanting things to be different than they are takes A LOT…

The topic is self-acceptance. It’s a topic I feel strongly about and I…

#11 What Can I Do Now? The Unplanned, Unexpected & Unpredictable

We don’t always know what the day will bring. Sometimes we have more unplanned, unexpected, and unpredictable things happen than others. For me, this is one of those days. I start my day off with having to give someone a ride that wasn’t planned. When I went out to my car, I rolled down my…
