How are you? How was your week?<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
If you asked me that question right now, I\u2019d have to pause to remember all that happened\u2026 Big stuff – the concert in West Virginia, the 29-year anniversary since I represented Yugoslavia at the Eurovision song contest (you can imagine all the emotions that brought up for me), business meetings, and not so big but still important – doctor\u2019s appointments and, well, check-ups, kids\u2019 visits to the dentist, recording Blais\u2019 song, hosting a dinner for a wonderful friend and fellow spiritual seeker\/ founder of\u00a0Portraits in Faith\u00a0Daniel Epstein, coaching and training new coaches, and even co-writing a song with John Angotti (a great musician and one of the top composers of music for Catholic liturgies). Phew!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
And even though this might seem chaotic, there was a sacred order to it all\u2026 filled with a sense of calm and purpose. (For me, it\u2019s the breathing that helps to ground me\u2026 and staying in the present moment – focusing on the task at hand, and not worrying about the future.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I plan my week on Sundays, list all that needs to be done and make sure I\u2019m hitting all the little steps that are a part of my long-term goals and my big dreams.)<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I even squeezed in an hour to go pick up fresh soil for my raised beds to use for planting my little tomato and bell pepper plants (which wasn’t on my schedule.)<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Between meetings, I ran into the garden, gently planted parsley, cilantro and basil, and I cleared out oregano that\u2019s growing wild. It was in that moment that I realized how good it felt to be connected and present.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Not wishing for \u2018some day\u2019 when things are this way or that\u2026 not looking forward to the time when my life will have more order and fewer tasks\u2026 not dreaming about a vacation but realizing that the good life is happening right now – it\u2019s happening in all of these moments, in every email I write, every conversation I have, every dinner I make, every hug I give\u2026 you get it \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
So, I\u2019ll keep it short today…<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
At some point during the week, I saw quote on Instagram that said something like this: \u201cWe are told \u2018Go big or go home.\u2019 But what if being home can feel just as good as going big?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
While it’s great to have big goals and big dreams (and I’ve always been ambitious and driven) it\u2019s not the outside circumstances that solely dictate how we feel inside. I can feel just as exhilarated, alive and purposeful running my fingers through a rosemary bush and breathing in the fragrance it releases to me, as I can while singing for a billion viewers (like I did 29 years ago).<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Try it – connect with a memory of an experience that made you feel really good, and see if you can feel it again while doing something different. See what happens when you do!<\/div>\n
