Sunday afternoon

I have the wonderful privilege of taking a nap this pre-springish Sunday afternoon. I am totally enjoying the space and time to do nothing but rest.....I am sinking into my new mattress and finding my pillow just right. This is exactly what I want to be doing and where I want to be.  Thanks be to God for this Sunday of rest...

Speed of life

Well, it's a sign of the times of my life.  I actually forgot that I had this blogspot!  It has been quite a while since I've written and there has been alot of change since that last blog.  I sold and packed up an entire house, bought and unpacked a new one, had a new grandson (0n the same day!), I've taken many trips; North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Louisiana to mention a few. I have continued my job, as well as finished up my work to be a Spriritual Director  I have been driving, careening down the highway of this life much too fast.  In the past week I have experienced sheer exhaustion....nearly screeched to a halt and slept for nearly 3 days and nights. And after the 3rd night, I began to feel again....realized my own tenderness, and perhaps my own immortality....an awakening of sorts.   Intentionally listening....to my own heart/soul.....again recognizing the desire to be authentically me....and that means honoring all the parts of who I am....so some of the parts with the loudest voices and biggest anxiety will need to speak less and allow other parts to come forth and share their wise stories too....may it be so....
