SURVIVING my truth

Thanksgiving THEN and NOW and LOTS of fantastic recipes and ideas to help you celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.
August 26th is National Dog Day and an excellent opportunity for my friends and me to celebrate by sharing a few stories about our four legged fur babies.
When laughter, song, and dance are mentioned, full self-expression and joy come to mind. They are energizing and liberating and life-giving.
June 18th is International Picnic Day and a wonderful excuse to visit a park, with a picnic of course!
We can bring curiosity to the process of retrospecting and learn from the openness and clearer vision that hindsight provides.
As Thanksgiving day comes to an end, my heart is filled with gratitude for the wonderful people in our lives.
As with most all things this year, the Pandemic has really thrown a "monkey wrench" into the works. The idea of gathering in a large group for hours of feasting and fun is probably not the most advisable of holiday strategies. So, as the saying goes, "necessity is the mother of invention" and it's time to pivot and change the plan.
We are always practicing something, and what we practice, we become. Are you practicing who, what, and how you want to be? Change is possible, if we are intentional.
Once we recognize we are no longer the calm, grounded, centered, thoughtful, compassionate human being we usually are (or hope to be), the next step in the change process is to come back to that calm, still place of greater resourcefulness and choice.
