Challenge for Change
As I was meditating this morning, I was reflecting on my routine. I have just returned to Fredericton and I dared to ask myself, "What would make my life better this Fall?" "What little step could I take to have even more pleasure in my life?" For me, the answer was "Spend more time with people in a non-work context". It brought me to ponder further on what steps I could take to spend more time with people and just have fun." I decided to join Thursday Night Volleyball at the local centre to get some more exercise and socialise Then I asked myself "How could I keep that committment?" I then decided to connect to the feeling I have when I am laughing and having fun with friends. I could feel a tickling feeling in my heart centre. Wouldn't it be nice to have more of that? Of course it would, so I decided that every time that "I am too tired, I have too much work to do" voice started discouraging me, I would commit to that feeling of having fun with my friends. I also decided that I would ask a good friend of mine to join me and to encourage me to go to help me stay motivated.
So there you have it, my Fall plan to change one thing in my life to have MORE PLEASURE! How about giving yourself a challenge for change this Fall to get a little bit more of what you want in your life. From that tickly feeling I am getting just thinking about my volleyball night, it is well worth the effort! Write me and tell me how it went, I sure will keep you posted! Baby steps to change, it is the best way go get what you really want!

Have a great week and remember this quote from Alan Cohen

What GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND
Parents, hang in there, everything you do for your children comes back tenfold! Let me give you a concrete example. I divorced when my children were four and six years old. As a single mom, I sought out raising my sons on my own in the best way I could. I knew I needed my community's support as well so I found Big Brothers and Big Sisters a great option for them. Stephane, my youngest was pared up with a wonderful man who was a biologist that specialized in alternative energy. This kind-hearted man shared wonderful experiences with my son, his experiments, bike rides and hikes, books, all the activities that my son loved, but my son did everything he could to reject his kindness, because he held alot of anger that needed releasing because he missed his dad. His Big Brother continued to be kind and patient, despite Stephane's behaviour. I encouraged Stephane to keep going on the outings, because deep inside I knew Stephane needed this relationship.
My son is now twenty-two and attending university in British Columbia. He phoned the other day and asked to speak with my husband because he needed a male reference to be a volunteer. Michel agreed and Stephane asked to speak with me. When asked what he was doing he told me he wanted to be a Big Brother. I asked him why and promptly said he wanted to give back to Big Brothers because he really appreciated his experience with Big Brothers and wanted to give back, especially because he had been such a hard ticket with his BB. Although very trying at the time, my instinct was right, he had appreciated the experience! I told him that I was really proud of him and he said to me " Oh no Mom, I am really proud of you!"
The time you invest as a parent has the GREATEST RETURN, but sometimes it takes a little time to receive the REWARDS! It took me twelve years to enjoy the results of the effort I put in to helping my son become the wonderful person he is today, but BOY IT WAS WORTH IT! So parents HANG IN THERE, your time will come!
And finally everyone needs a little inspiration! http://www.thejoymovie.com
Have a week FULL of ELATION!

Tks Stacey! Hope to see you soon!
ReplyDelete"Yesterday was a bittersweet day for me. By beautiful 15 year old SPCA special dog Pantouf became very ill. It was painful and sad to see her so uncomfortable so I meditated and asked for guidance. And it came. I was told to reach out to friends and ask them to send healing energy to her. I was told to massage her, tell her how much I loved her, to hand-feed her and to get the pain relief she needed. She settled, she slept and awoke very much herself. The moment, if I listen, brings so much to my life, answers, guidance, relief from suffering. It is the only place I want to be and my sweet dog was the one to remind me again, how precious, the moment! What a perfect gift, an oppurtunity, to grow in the moment!"
