Wherever You Go There You Are

For your consideration….

No, I am not wishing winter a hasty return. This is a picture of Antarctica. It is a picture of an extreme location to prove the point that all of you goes wherever you go. Our HOPEs, dreams, life purpose, problems, concerns etc. are part of us and travel with us.

Wherever You Go There You Are is a wonderful book on mindfulness by Jon Kabat-Zinn. It is a perfect title for the book and also for today’s message.

We have a life purpose. The journey on how we achieve it depends a lot on the choices we make on what is laid before us. Everywhere we go, our purpose and choices are laid before us. We can not get away or hide from them. They travel well.

Having said that, we are reminded that our Guidance also travels well. We can choose to ignore it. We can choose not to consult with it. But we can never lose it. It is with us wherever we go.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take….

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Embrace you. Love you.

What made me smile yesterday…..

-You don’t notice all the hugs you get until you are gone for a couple of days. The love of children is so pure and life altering.

-A little bit of rain with just the right amount of wind to dry up the mud.

-Leftovers.

-Catching up with Alex, Cathy and Jackie.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
