Can we think for a moment about spiritual healing? What are some things you do to help promote your own or others’ spiritual healing? When do you feel like you need to give yourself time for spiritual healing?

Isn’t it interesting how linear we can be in thinking about healing? Healing sometimes takes more linear time to occur, especially as it applies to physical healing. In thinking about spiritual healing, however, it perhaps can occur in multiple planes or tiers without such a linear constraint. An interesting point to ponder, present point aside.

When I experience negativity in my life, that is when I most feel as though my spirit needs time for healing. Perhaps I feel angry about a thing, or I feel unappreciated, or maybe I’m having trouble finding joy in my life for some reason. There are about as many ways for negativity to appear in life as there are breaths for us to take.

Giving myself deliberate time to think about things I’m glad about, moments to realize reasons to love myself, giving myself space from other people, giving myself moments to listen to music; these are all ways that I create space for my “spirit” to heal.

I think one thing I neglect sometimes that helps to keep my spirit will is time to be still, to pause, to breathe, to give my heart and mind time to pause and roam freely – in a loving, caring environment. Even if only for a moment; in the spirit of one step at a time, remember to give yourself moments to pause. Stop for air, for stillness. Give yourself a moment to have roaming thoughts and/or time to re-center.

Your spirit deserves you. Your life is worth being present for. I send you spirit-healing moments.

I wonder how different life would be if all the “souls” in the corporate world were to be successful enough to live their dreams? How different would the corporate world be? How many people today are working in a job they have so they can “pay the bills”? And, of those people, how many of them are doing what their hearts’ desire?

I know I’m in a job I enjoy, but it is not my heart’s desire. There are qualities about my job that are rewarding and can even be fulfilling at times, but are these the activities that make my heart sing and dance? Well? No. Not really.

While there are aspects about my job that are in alignment with me wanting to touch lives, to contribute to a greater good, to help others, and those aspects bring some form of joy, being a project manager is not the thing that makes my heart sing and dance.

Perhaps being a project manager has afforded me the opportunity to develop a skill that might be useful in propelling me into something that truly makes my heart sing and dance. Who is to say what wonders I might participate in if I were to utilize my project management skills to be the writer/creative I long and love to be?

Now, I am just one of how many? If all the people in the world were to follow their hearts, live comfortably, have the level of affluence one desires, and do/be their hearts’ desires, what would the corporate world look like? How different would it have to be?

And so it is that the oppressive Summer heat really did give way to the inviting coolness of Autumn. And so it is that the long days of drought actually met with the relief of Autumn rains, and the patient earth began to heal. … read more…

Upon enjoying a spot of snow in a place where snow rarely happens, I observed traces of footprints come an gone. No sign of life, other than the obvious mark in visible steps upon the neat layer of snow upon the sleeping grass. I got to thinking a bit about how many visible and invisible foot prints have come and gone through my life experiences. … read more…

Each time the sun rises and sets we are given a gift – a day and a night. The whole of life is a big whopping thing, and it seems it is universally designed in such a manner so that we can live a little bit at a time; a day a night, a moment, a week a month, a year – a journey. We have the amazing and sometimes overwhelming power to navigate through our journeys how we choose to.  This means we inherently have the ability to have variety in each grouping of moments. You will live your life as you see fit, and I will live my life as I see fit, and our paths may cross with some degree of frequency or infrequency. … read more…

Isn’t it amazing how talent, minds, personalities can gather into a company for a single purpose with such diverse discipline and skill. It seems to me there is an interesting study about community bubbling to come forth in that. … read more…

Walking to a meeting, a particularly curious duck found some summer shade next to a building with lots of reflective windows. Undisturbed by my careful, observant foot steps, the duck watched cautiously as I tread inches from his perched little self. … read more…

There is a peculiar stillness that happens in the heart beat of the city when Christmas rolls around. Have you noticed it? And, does it take a massive holiday for the commercial hustle and bustle to slow so that the city can be still? Why are there so few moments when the city seems to still like it does at Christmas time? … read more…
