This week I am choosing... Simplicity

Hi Everyone!

So… have you ever worked on creating something only to find that there were so many “moving parts” involved that you ended up feeling overwhelm instead of accomplishment?

That’s me lately, so I’ve decided to pare things down. I mean, really… do I NEED all the bells and whistles? Or are freedom and ease more important to me than all the flashy stuff? Yes, the flashy stuff looks good if I get it right, but it’s often a frustrating and time-consuming nightmare if I mess up on even the smallest thing. Then it becomes a cascade of fixing one thing only to have two or three others break. No fun.

Ease and freedom. Freedom and ease. So this week I’m choosing simplicity with the intention of enjoying the resulting cascade of freedom and ease.

Care to join me? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience with this.

Much love to you all, and…

Have an awesome day if you choose to!

Sandi

I Choose... Courage

Hey there!

So these last eleven days have been INTERESTING for me. On Christmas Eve I had what can really only be described as a divinely orchestrated near death experience. There is no other way for me to see it. I suppose that someone who is not me and did not have the experience could call it a “near miss” or a coincidence and dismiss it. But it was my experience. It was a split second that I lived with everything I am. In that split second, I saw my whole life with a clarity of perception that I’ve never experienced before, and I’m choosing to have the courage to recognize that split second for what it really was.

A wakeup call.

It was a big, fat Divine Message meant solely for me. A Call for me to shift a pattern of decisions I’ve been making for a long time. It’s a pattern that I have felt solidly entrenched in, and at the mercy of.  It’s a pattern that has taken me pretty far down a path that leads to a place where I do NOT want to go, and if I don’t want to end up there, I have got to have the courage to shift the pattern.

I continue to live that split second of clarity. It hasn’t diminished at all, I’m grateful to say. I plan on cultivating it, savoring it, diving ever deeper into it. It’s going to take some significant courage to do this, because the new decisions I am called to make now are very different from the decisions I’ve been making.

I feel good. I feel scared. I feel exhilarated to be shifting into a new Grand Adventure. And I feel like I’m going to be living right up against the boundary of my comfort zone for at least a while as I practice making the new decisions that will make that boundary disappear.

Courage is going to be the most important thing for a while. The courage to step boldly onto the new path that I can clearly see before me whenever I immerse myself in the feeling that was gifted to me in that split second, on Christmas Eve of the year 2025.

Do I have the courage to step forward onto that new path? Yes. I do.

How about you? What habitual decisions are you making that are carrying you down a path that leads to a situation that you really don’t want to end up in? Care to join me this week in being courageous? You’re definitely invited!

Love
Sandi
