Last year was so full, so very intense that we all but crawled into 2016. We declared January is for napping. As we moved back into our busy days and weeks I began to feel concern that we were going down the road of busy and exhaustion once...

Day 12: The Wanting https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/12-day-12-the-wanting/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/12-day-12-the-wanting/#respond Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:01:48 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=4516 My friend Beth Misner spoke at a Women of Faith Breakfast I held several years ago and said about her often frenetically paced life, “I decided that I am not busy but that I have a full life with a meaningful schedule”. That thought really stuck with me and on a deeper level has been working from within me to produce the miraculous change of a similar feeling. I am not at the mercy of my schedule...

Day 19: Holy Spirit Is My [Thought] Shepard https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/5-day-19-holy-spirit-is-my-thought-shepard/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/5-day-19-holy-spirit-is-my-thought-shepard/#comments Tue, 19 Aug 2014 12:02:22 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=1761 This day I have woken with unbearable, tear crowded exhaustion. I still walked ( plodded actually) but only (!) because of my commitment to EVERY DAY. It felt good to walk but the heavy weariness remains. After protein drink, meditation and tea on the porch, a whole cluster of wild thoughts duked it out while I was in the bath. I managed to capture them on my phone. I will share them here...

I feel ready to be done with it. There have been so many important, wonderful events, visits, transitions and they are taking their toll of sorts. I can’t quite express it but a lot of seeming “once in a lifetime” feelings have left me feeling rather...

Day 19: Let Go OH NO! https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/4-day-19-let-go-oh-no/ https://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/4-day-19-let-go-oh-no/#comments Sat, 19 Jul 2014 12:10:43 +0000 http://www.twelvemonthselflove.com/?p=1444 Letting go today was all about letting go of my old friend panic. Every time I thought “OH NO!” (Oh no, I’m not ready/ Oh no, I’m too busy and I don’t have enough time/ Oh no, it’s NOT time to eat again/ Oh no, I’m too tired for this now) in prepping for meetings, Crocker tours, writing a blog post, wondering what we would have for dinner I let go (again) of “Oh NO!!” It became my mantra today...

This day went from 4:30am -11:30pm, it went from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe [back to Sac then] to San Fransisco Bay and back home again. The day included business meetings, readying the house between visitors...

The BIG milestones (graduations, weddings, reunions) are just so huge I am having a hard time focussing on the details. Thank you for my guidance in all of this, thank you for the accomplishments of all concerned and thank you for all the miracles that have occurred along the way to make it all possible. To be honest there is a lot to let...

So, I will do what I often do when inundated with life: Give Thanks. I am so grateful I have loving family who cares enough to drop everything and come to celebrate with us. I am delighted that my daughter is soon to be a graduate of UC Davis. I am thankful for our home...
