In the BOD group, some of us are reading 'Life is a Verb', by Patti Digh. It has stirred up much at a depth of soul. I'm sharing. If you don't want to go there I certainly understand.
Some of the questions, though, in the first chapter which may interest you, follow:
If you had 37 days to live, I bet you there would be more of what you want and less of what they want. I bet you'd be happier, and by extension, those that really love you, that really matter, would be happier, too.
This week, I will be noodling around with the following questions (adapted from page 10).
1)Do I step back from participating in my own life? Why?
2)Am I giving the power about my own life to someone else? Why?
3)Am I waiting for permission? For what? Why?
4)Am I letting other people measure my worth? Why?
5)What story am I telling myself about myself?
6)What stories do "They" tell about me that I've started believing?
7)What does it mean to be in the shadow of "Their" story about me?
8)If I started saying "I" instead of "They", how would my life be different?
9)If I had 37 days to live, what would be doing right now?
You are, each and every one of you, my Lovlies. I hope you are happy. I hope, if you are so inclined, you are doing soul work. Thanks for dropping by, it means a lot to me. xxoo Donna
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. – Innerspace
