Lightness Inspires
I recently attended an interesting Newfield Conference; Taking Life Seriously, Myself Lightly. Boy do I need that! I approach most things from the serious side. I love fun and lightness however, my default in just about anything is to start at the serious (do not confuse serious with negative or down).
An inspiration from the Taking Life Seriously, Myself Lightly
conference came from Barb who recounted a few comments her
granddaughter made upon noticing the differences between her eight year
old arm / face and her grandmother's. The image of the little girl
reminds me to remember my child self in regard to lightness.
For many of us, January 1 is a time to make resolutions, establish new
practices. We actually have that opportunity daily so why is it that we
place so much emphasis on January 1's steps?
As my friend and I headed to the airport in Tucson for 7:00 am flights,
fire energy prevailed; we were in the rapids! A significant lesson was
afoot. Fire energy can be frenetic, chaotic, hot ... as we left the
hotel with what was perceived to be "just enough time", we were unsure
of the route (the IPhone directed us correctly and in our haste [fire]
we headed in the wrong direction); that was corrected pretty quickly.
