Gulp! As I suspect you’ve noticed, it’s been quite a week, at least in the land still known as The United States of America!
First, please hear me say that I’m going to assume that you’re doing whatever sorting you need to do with the stuff my Social Studies teachers used to call current events, according to your Filters. I am, too! And, even being aware of that is huge!
There’s another thing happening in my corner of the world, too. The Legendary Husband and I actually have an entire weekend with no external obligations or expectations!!! This is a very rare event at our house and we took some time to choose – intentionally – what would be most helpful.
As I write these words, Bill is napping. Blessed be! We’ve had no shortage of stress and not-knowing lately. The rest of our plans are organized around the notion of making what we have work better with what we need.
Blessedly, a friend will help with actual furniture shifting, tomorrow. (Not my best thing!) Then there’s the fact that shifting furniture goes hand in hand with shifting artwork! And that means not only a lot of measuring, but also which paintings whisper from the walls and where they need to be.
And, no… I’m not crazy. I’m just more tuned in to how I actually process things than the 5-senses bit I learned in nursing school!
So, left-over Strategy Soup for dinner. (The food kind!) Comfort and yummy healing in a bowl. And super easy!
Paintings to re-wire so they’ll hang at different heights. Sheets in the dryer. Quick review of the Feng Shui book! (Intention counts!)
And, yes… it hasn’t been too long since we had a similar adventure in other parts of the house. Here’s the thing… our needs change. Our dreams change. Our intentions for our life change. And, if nothing else, the context around us often makes it harder to ignore what we long for!
In a rather odd way, I find that comforting! Now, you can skip the next paragraph or two if you’re not in a space for real deal chatting. Fair warning that I am in such a space!
First, take a glimpse, please, at the photo we began with. From my recent #Quickening adventure. (The same adventure in which the Wisdom Cards were conceived!) It’s Creation-esque, for sure. And I love it.
What you can’t see, though, is all the layers of trying and trying again! Trying to get the energy I felt inside to appear in the world. And – here’s the big thing – I think Creators get it! I no longer think that they snapped their fingers one week and the whole world appeared as we know it, now. Instead, I believe that there was a whole lot of hoping and learning and loving along the way.
And, just between us, that feels like the best plan I know for this moment in time! One right thing after the other, hoping and praying that – one day – we’ll all join hands. In the meantime, though, I have some other strategies!
ps… ask the elves to hook you up with a batch of Grammy’s MetaMod Wisdom Cards and they’ll be delighted to email you the soup recipe, too! (It really is easy… and ever so adaptable!) Order your cards now, while they’re in stock, before the Decatur Book Festival coming up October 4!
pps… while I’m making space, I still have a bit for a couple more 1:1 coaching clients! And a very special offer! Get 6 sessions for the usual investment of 4… and a set of Wisdom Cards, as my gift! The Next Right Thing is getting on the road to the place where you are called, and you don’t have to enter the unknown alone!
