Inspiration: Happy Friday!
Today is the 54th day of 2024.
We have $54,000.00 today.
10% savings = $5,400.00
40% taxes = $21,600.00: This week I am expressing gratitude for these tax dollars being spent to support the San Bernardino National Forest. It is in the state of California. This National Forest was established in 1893. You will find among other wonders the following five Wilderness areas to explore: San Gorgonio, Cucamonga, San Jacinto, Santa Rosa, and Bighorn Mountain. Learn more here.
How will you be spending the remaining $27,000.00 today?
HERE IS MY PLAN: Food for All
“Every morning, ask yourself this question: What is the most important thing I can do today that would make tomorrow better? Do that.” – Rich Litvin
How are you showing up in the world?
A beautiful, handmade request arrived in the mail. I was invited and attended an exclusive event this week. We were asked to “dress up” in our favorite pajamas. The food was amazing and literally had zero calories. The stories were wild and wonderful, the other guests were delightful, and the host, Mia, was inspiring. She explained in detail why each guest was invited and what gift they were bringing to the gathering. I was asked to tell a story about how books feed our hearts. I had the privilege to enjoy a virtual tea party with six-year-old Mia, her mom, and a host of imaginary characters. It was a powerful reminder that dreams matter. Imagination multiplied with kindness provides food for all. How are you showing up in the world?
$100.00: for self-care. I am buying local coffee and tea. Brewing and drinking these beverages evoke memories of connections with loved ones as well as the nudge to invite new conversations into my heart space. I would love to share a cup and have a conversation with you today. Connection is self-care at its greatness.
$0: Priceless: Share a meal with someone. Tell stories. Listen with your heart.
Respond with love. Repeat. What would it take?
$25,900.00: I am contributing funds to provide meals to people waiting to cross borders, as well as those in war torn areas in Ukraine, Gaza, Africa, and anywhere on the globe where people need food and water. The monies are being sent to the World Central Kitchen (WCK). “The intention of WCK is to send in cooks when people are hungry. Not tomorrow, but today. They provide meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. Then they build resilient food systems with locally led solutions.” Learn more here.
What if we allow our imaginations to generate stories of hope and solutions. “What is the most important thing we can do today that would make tomorrow better?” Be willing to find or create joy. Be there for others. Have tea with a six-year-old and listen to their heart stories. What are you contributing to live in a better world in 2024?
$1000.00: for a date with my husband. This week’s date includes exploring a new hiking trail and telling our favorite “Dad” jokes. We laugh together. How loved can you stand it?
FLOW FIVE FRIDAY: Current “real” life expressions of gratitude, love, and contribution to wellbeing.
$5.00: this week’s five-dollar bill went to the World Central Kitchen. The address is 200 Massachusetts Avenue NW, 7th Floor, Washington DC, 20001. I am choosing to be the energy of what works in life.
Five Increments of Time: This week I participated in Mia’s virtual tea party and found a wave of hope in her stories. Being there. How are you “Flowing Five” this week?
Well-Being: Something that I am doing or not doing for self-care in real time.
I am drinking tea and connecting with friends. What are you doing or not doing for self-care?
Planet Awareness: Contributing to the health of Earth.
Did you know that cutting 2 minutes from your shower can save over 10 gallons of water? Environmentalist Robert Swan says that “the greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” I am taking shorter showers.
What are you doing for the health of our planet?
Hold Space or Contribute to a Friends Life Intention:
This week I am supporting my friend Kathryn. One of her living intentions is to inspire the Nation to put First Responders First. You can help support her living intention by listening to her story on the Connection Project 360 podcast this week. You will find it on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Podcasts. You can make a difference just by knowing this story. Learn more here.
Choose joy. Be kind. Love others and strive to be a better human. What would it take?
