It's been a challenging few days, I've been up against a few things. I have had a lot of change swirling up from the depths of me, asking me to answer the call to Unite with my Soul's Urge... This is a turning point for me, one of those "Seven Year Cycles" beginning. I've been in England 7 years, it is no coincidence that I am up for change. Change isn't easy, but finding the GRATITUDE in the middle of it is a big key to finding Joy.
So, the past few days I've been Grateful for (though not always Smiling about):
1. Teachers. One Teacher to be exact, who represents everything that a great teacher should be: Inspiring, Caring, Steadfast, Honorable, Giving, Expressive, and a true Individual. His name was Dana Brown and he is one of the best people I ever knew. http://www.tdn.com/slide_show/dana_brown/index.html
Recently I have re-discovered my desire to teach and lead others to personal freedom through Improvisational Workshops. I have been thinking of him and his impact on me, and my vision, a lot. Then, this past Sunday I found out that he passed away March 1st. I've since processed a lot of feelings about my days in High School and what this teacher meant to me. The overriding emotion has been GRATITUDE. Thank you, Dana Brown. Thanks for being YOU.
2. Technology. I am constantly Grateful that I have a great laptop, that Digital technology is flourishing (and not difficult to use), and that many of my creative urges are able to be expressed with all of this technology. Also, for "fun" things, technology is all good: I missed a TV show the other day and my husband brought it home on his memory stick, as a friend of his downloaded it for me! I gotta figure out how to do that for myself!
3. TIME to reflect. I am so Grateful that I have the time to reflect on and process the things that happen to me, that come up in my thoughts, or that urge me creatively. This is one of the best things that I have ever been blessed with: TIME. I have to remind myself not to take it for granted, as it is a precious thing that I have been given. "To whom much has been given, much is expected." (Bible verse). I now ask myself "How can I serve?" Time has been given to me as a Tool, and I am intending to use it for a higher purpose. My soul agrees that this is who I am, so we are smiling...
