Inspiration Friday 2024.10.11

Inspiration: Happy Friday!
Today is the 285th Day of 2024.

We have $285,000.00 today.
10% savings = $28,500.00
40% taxes = $114,000: This week I am expressing gratitude for these tax dollars being spent to support the National Park of the American Samoa. Located in the territory known as the American Samoa. This National Park was established in 1988. You will find among other wonders the only paleotropical forest in the United States, flying foxes, and miles of coral reef.  Learn more here.

How will you be spending the remaining $142,500.00 today?

HERE IS MY PLAN: Calibrate with Kindness

“It’s ok to not be ok; it’s ok to ask for help. You are not broken or weak if you are struggling. You matter more than you can even imagine.” -Michael Clifford

How are you showing up in the world? On the heels of the destruction and aftermath of hurricane Helene, there was another disturbance of epic proportions from a hurricane called Milton this week. Several of my friends have been posting photos of loved ones, neighbors and strangers who are missing in the aftermath of these storms. I stop and look into the eyes of each person’s photo. I read the story about each person. I am willing to bear witness to my friend’s grief and raise my own vibration to the frequency of love. There is no way around the messy human experience. Often when situations occur that make no sense and spark unspeakable fear, I am reminded of the wisdom of Mr. Rogers…. “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mom would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people that are helping.” We can all help someone today. We can all learn to lean on other people. Remember to ask for what you need too. Feel all your feelings and when you can, choose to help someone. May your self-love be stronger than your self-doubt at this time. Be kinder to yourself. When we are kind to ourselves, we increase our capacity to give to others with ease. How are you showing up in the world?

$100.00: Self-care. I am taking a class to learn something new. Learning is one way that I am kind to myself. And I love that!

$0: Priceless: Kindness fuels hope for humanity.

“Every small, unselfish action nudges the world into a better path. An accumulation of small acts can change the world.” -Robin Hobb

How are you serving humanity today?  When we share our heart songs the message of love is heard and welcomed by some, yet it cannot be received by people who are not ready to hear. Our contribution to humanity is our willingness to continue to lean into the human experience. Be open to feel all the feelings, and courageously sow more seeds of kindness, love, peace, and hope. As well as asking ourselves the Conscious Question. This practice helps to ground oneself in knowing the next best step.The question is, “What is (this) trying to show me the seeing of which will change everything?” Remember that being the best version of ourselves matters. How kind can you stand being today?

$141,400.00 This money is supporting the World Central Kitchen (WCK), specifically for the Hurricane Response teams. The mission of WCK is “when people are hungry, send in cooks. Not tomorrow, today!” They are providing food and water for people affected by these storms. Learn more here.

How open are you to living in a better world in 2024? Respond to life with love. Repeat. What would it take?

$1000.00: This week’s date includes a “candle chat.’ This is when we slow down, eliminate distractions for an hour of one-one-one time. We sit across from one another, hold hands, and look into each other’s eyes then we say what is in our hearts. Truth is, I do more talking than he does, but we both show up to be present and listen to our heart songs. 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 were sent to the World Central Kitchen. The address is PO Box 96538 Washington DC, 20090-6538. I am choosing to be the energy of what works in life.

Five increments of time: This week I reconnected with a friend from high school. We shared stories and life moments that occurred since our last connection over a decade ago! Being there; how does it get better than that? 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 continuing and expanding my heart centered focused meditations. When I meditate, peace and calm are generated with ease. What are you doing or not doing for self-care?

Planet Awareness: Contributing to the health of Earth.

I live in a beautiful, nature abundant place. No hurricanes, but we have had plenty of wildfires during the season. This week, I went to the Forest Service Ranger Station and donated dollars to support the care and health of trees in our community.

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 Jodi. Her living intention is to contribute to the wellbeing of women with up-to-date research and practical education about menopause. One way that you can help support Jodi’s living intention is to imagine her being invited to share her stories with more community members or send her contact information to women in your life. In the meantime, ask your doctor if they have updated their credentials with the state-of-the-art menopause certifications. We need to advocate for each other! Check out this week’s podcast episode for more information about menopause and Jodi’s story.

Choose joy. Be kind. Love others and strive to be a better human. What would it take?

Choose to feel good. Be Joy. 
Practice gratitude. Amplify Kindness. Expand Generosity. 
Ask, Receive, and Give with More Ease. 
Respond to life with Love.
