Change and Action
I love a post I read today that is more of a letter or poem than a list. On Sunday, Father’s Day I signed up for the Healthy Challenge on FB. Oops, I mean Monday, yesterday. I was able to share about this list as well, so we might have new friends. Last week, joined Sparks People and realized that I am beginning to enjoy my life, instead of just loving life.This is a deeper commitment to change, I trust. We really are truly blessed with homes, cars, clean water, peace of mind, and freedom. Much of what we have can be taken for granted. So I am choosing to practice awareness. Part of my exercise routine is to walk the dog, this practice is giving me lots of opportunities to be aware in the moment. I love how the consciousness is being raised and how we can become a part of that movement.
