Inspiration Friday 2025.01.10

Inspiration: Happy Friday!
Today is the 10th Day of 2025.

We have $10000.00 today.
10% savings = $1,000.00
40% taxes = $4,000.00: This week I am expressing gratitude for these tax dollars being spent to support the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Located in the state of Ohio. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park was established in 1974 as a National Recreation Area and then in 2000 as a National Park. You will find among other wonders the Crooked River also known as the Cuyahoga, Towpath Trail and Brandywine Falls to explore. Learn more here.

How will you be spending the remaining $5,000.00 today?

HERE IS MY PLAN: Emergency Preparedness

“When you plan for potential emergencies, you are setting yourself up to go with the flow of life situations. Be in alignment, ride the waves of change by being prepared for emergencies.” Benjamin Franklin

Change is constant. Today as I write this week’s musing of thoughts and conscious calls of action, Los Angeles County in California is being engulfed by wildfires. Several friends have marked themselves safe. One of the families impacted is my podcast teacher Cathy. She sent a message via social media that her family received an urgent message from the fire department to evacuate in one minute. They scrabbled, found two of three pets and escaped the fire just in time. I hope that your family and friends are safe today. There is no time to wait. I invite you to reach out and connect with someone you love. Send a text message, an email, a phone call, or invite them to share a meal, etc. What action can you take today to respond with love and be a better human? Remember that Humanity is a choice. I am connecting with you today. Know that if you are reading this message, that you are loved. Connection Matters.

How are you showing up in the world?

$100.00: for self-care. These dollars are going into my Emergency Go Bag in small bills. I am preparing for unexpected life changes. And I am open to receiving life experiences that are way better than I can even imagine.

$0 Priceless: Human Spirit and Kindness

“There are no greater treasures than the highest human qualities such as compassion, courage, and hope. Not even a tragic accident or disaster can destroy such treasures of the heart” — Daisaku Ikeda

What can you do to support others in your family or communities? Receive what you need. Give what you can. Time, money, supplies, skills, words, or just your presence. Who needs to know that you love them? Connect with people who matter. Connection is key. Respond to life with love. Repeat. What would it take?

$400.00: This is the fifth year that I am donating dollars to an underground neighborhood pop-up food bank located in the Smith family garage. I know about this food bank because it was created in response to COVID mandates for isolation in 2020 and continues to support local people with a little extra kindness. Neighbors helping neighbors is something we can all do. How open are you to living in a better world in 2025?

$3,900.00: These dollars are being sent to the American Red Cross organization for the people affected by wildfires in California. Their mission is “to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.” Learn more here.

$1000.00: for a date with my husband. We are updating our family emergency plan. Where will we meet up? What do we need to know now? Creating a plan of action together.

How much love can you stand?

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 American Red Cross to support wildfire assistance in California. The mailing address is P.O. Box 37839 Boone, IA 50037-0839.  I am choosing to be the energy of what works in life.

Five Increments of Time: This week I spent face to face time with one of my neighbors. We shared stories and connected over cups of tea. 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 updating family “Emergency Go Bags” and going over plans with my husband. What are you doing or not doing for self-care?

Planet Awareness:

Contributing to the health of Earth.

I have it on good authority that the third-grade science teacher told the class this week that “There is no Planet B.” She told them to be kind to Earth by Reusing, Recycling, and Repurposing items to keep them out of landfills. 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 friends who live in the California wildfire areas. The collective intention is to be safe and for their loved ones to be safe. After safety is established, we can all rally and help communities rebuild or relocate or start over. As well as support the first responders who are on the front lines today. How prepared are you and your loved ones for natural disasters? Finally, if you need an “Emergency Go Bag” for you or family members, look at the Red Cross website store page.

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.
