Inspiration: Happy Friday!
Today is the 75th day of 2024.
We have $75,000.00 today.
10% savings = $7,500.00
40% taxes = $30,000.00: This week I am expressing gratitude for these tax dollars being spent to support the Santa Fe National Forest. It is in the state of New Mexico. This National Forest was established in 1915. You will find among other wonders three historic trails crossing portions of this forest. The Santa Fe Trail, Old Spanish Trail and the El Camio Real de Tierra Adentro. Learn more here.
How will you be spending the remaining $37,500.00 today?
HERE IS MY PLAN: Pivot Perspective
“Self-love is how you take your power back; it’s also how you come back home to your sacred self.” – Lalah Delia
How are you showing up in the world?
I was having a conversation with my friend Tracy about how we all judge ourselves in similar experiences from different points of view. She recounted several experiences from her first few years as a middle school teacher. The most profound memory she shared was about two eleven-year-olds. First, Bailey presented a book review to her classmates, who howled with laughter at her story. Bailey was mortified and decided that she would never speak in front of people again! The next day Keri told the class about her book review. Once again, the class bursts into laughter. Keri, however, was thrilled with the response and looked for more opportunities to speak in front of people. It was the same class, the same assignment, the same classmate response, but the speakers each had very different points of view regarding what the laughter meant about themselves. Human experiences are just points of view. What human filters are you processing your thoughts and feelings through today? I hope you choose more of what “lights you up” in your life. May your self-love be stronger than your self-doubt. The world needs your love. How are you showing up in the world?
$100.00: for self-care. This week I am buying myself art supplies. Being creative “lights me up”. And I love that!
$0.00 Priceless: Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The vernal equinox signals nature’s changing of the season with 12 hours of darkness and 12 hours of light. Even though winter is still performing snowy encores, spring 2024 is just days away. As nature ushers in more light, a renewed hope is born in my heart. Think green. I am planting seeds of possibility for more joy and peace along with happy green plants for us all. How are you showing up in the world?
Respond with love. Repeat. What would it take?
$36,400.00: I am contributing funds to support feeding people in Gaza through the nonprofit World Central Kitchen. Learn more here.
When I choose to live with joy in situations, I change my point of view to wonder what else is possible. That joy pivot can raise the frequency of love. I see people being nourished with plenty of safe, healthy food prepared and served by the World Central Kitchen. 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 building bird houses. He is building them; I am painting them. Being creative 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 dollars went to the World Central Kitchen. The address is P.O. Box 96538, Washington D.C., 20090-6538. I am choosing to be the energy of what works in life.
Five Increments of Time: This week at my husband’s request I made something different each night for dinner. Since I do not love cooking, this was a workout. And I chose to pivot into the fun of different meals and giving to someone that I love. 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 charging my phone at night in the office vs our bedroom. I am phone free to support better sleep. What are you doing or not doing for self-care?
Planet Awareness: Contributing to the health of Earth.
Do you know about “wish-cycling” practices? According to Eco-cycle a nonprofit social enterprise in Boulder Colorado, “wish-cycling,” is a term referring to the well-intentioned practice of throwing things into the recycling bin hoping they can be recycled, even if we’re not sure. But contamination in recycling streams can lead to a host of problems—including damage to machinery and hazards for facility employees. Click here and you can learn about some of the most commonly wish-cycled materials, such as plastic bags, plastic cups, and batteries.”
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 Merideth who is donating a kidney to a stranger she matched in a database. One of Merideth’s Living Intentions is to be a loving mother. Her child received a heart from another stranger five years ago. Both Giving and Receiving matter. You can help support Merideth’s living intention by seeing the surgeries and recovery going well for both her and the recipient. Imagine Merideth’s family celebrating her homecoming.
Choose joy. Be kind. Love others and strive to be a better human. What would it take?
Pivot Perspective
What if everything you ask for is possible?
What actions would you take?
I am leaning into the conscious question “What is this life situation trying to show me, the seeing of which will change everything?” I am choosing to respond with love.
How are you showing up in the world?
How are you spending the remaining $37,500.00 today?
I am grateful to have each of you in my life.
I am supporting your work and life intentions.
Love to you.
Mare
