A week’s lessons

This week I have spent some time thinking about what the daily situations, actions, and stories might be here to tell me on a deeper level. Or at least what I should get from what happens. For some reason I felt like sharing them. Monday I was tired, and it was the first day back at […]

Reflection – the roller coaster of growth

I thought I would be writing about awareness and presence this week. Over the course of these two years, of putting a bead in a jar every day, I have grown to become more aware than I was when I started. I tend to listen more closely to my intuition, try to read symbols and […]
