How are you today? The sun was out this past week, the maple tree in my backyard is covered with tiny purple buds, and the daffodils in the front of my house are ready to bloom! Life is good \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

You know how sometimes you keep hearing the same message everywhere you go? It shows up in your newsfeed, your neighbor says it, it\u2019s in the book you are reading\u2026 and so you pay attention to it. LOL<\/span><\/p>\n

For me, this past week, it was all about\u00a0writing<\/strong>. Writing can be healing.\u00a0It\u2019s used in therapy, it\u2019s great to release stress and emotions, it gives your brain a chance to \u2018dump\u2019 useless information, organize thoughts, envision and plan, create and express yourself without any special equipment. Just a pen and paper (or a computer).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you write? Journal? Write cards and letters to share with others?<\/span><\/p>\n

When you post on social media, what kind of posts do you create? Humorous? Educational? Inspirational?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As I am writing this to you, I am in awe of this process that connects us – writing and sharing.\u00a0Sometimes expressing deep vulnerable things, and other times sharing useful things we learned. How humbling and awesome it is that we can create experiences and share our intentions and affect each other through words\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And then this came to me:<\/span><\/p>\n

An Invitation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Actually, wait.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t close your eyes. Keep reading \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

Take another breath. Slow or deep, or fast or shallow. Take notice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The space is there for you to breathe.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But you can also scroll down fast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s up to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because, I typed these words for you,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

but now they are yours to ponder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They are thoughts that floated through silence and\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

landed on my mind like seeds of a dandelion\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(making me feel excited about the warm weather and green grass and a field full of wildflowers).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They are 0\u2019s and 1\u2019s scrambled up, transformed into invisible waves,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

received and unscrambled and somehow placed into your device for you to\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

read in the same order as I wrote them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The thoughts came to me,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I observed them, let many pass by\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(I get easily distracted, so I blew on some to help them fly away),<\/span><\/p>\n

and picked out those that matched my\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

intention and desire\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

to connect with you and\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

experience something good:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

connection, wonder, Grace, comfort, hope, peace, what else?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to ask you a question.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can skip it, or consider it.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s up to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you read, do you hear your voice reading them?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or someone else\u2019s?<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you hear another voice telling you there are more important things\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

to do right now than read this?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(The space is there for you to listen)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take another breath.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of the voice reading, can you<\/span><\/p>\n

hear the air flowing through your nose,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

filling up your lungs, expanding your chest and then,<\/span><\/p>\n

like a summer breeze gently moving through you?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And while you focus on the breath,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

does the voice quiet down?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I follow my breath like I\u2019d follow a small ray of light\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

looking for the path<\/span><\/p>\n

leading to a place where the voices in my head<\/span><\/p>\n

quiet down<\/span><\/p>\n

where I am able to just be<\/span><\/p>\n

at peace<\/span><\/p>\n

present<\/span><\/p>\n

still.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is where I wanted to invite you to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not my place<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s completely yours<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I can\u2019t go there with you,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

and yet, in that place we are all connected to each other<\/span><\/p>\n

and to everything else<\/span><\/p>\n

without labeling it, judging it, knowing it\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And from this place we emerge peaceful\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

and less stressed out<\/span><\/p>\n

grateful\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

less worried about the future<\/span><\/p>\n

content to be where we are now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Empowered to think the thoughts creative and life-giving<\/span><\/p>\n

to let go of the ones that make us angry and resentful<\/span><\/p>\n

and watch them float away like the seeds of dandelions on a warm sunny day.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now\u2026 close your eyes and breathe<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
