Inspiration Friday 2025.01.17

Inspiration: Happy Friday!
Today is the 17th Day of 2025.

We have $17000.00 today.
10% savings = $1,700.00
40% taxes = $6,800.00: This week I am expressing gratitude for these tax dollars being spent to support the Death Valley National Park. Located in both the states of California and Nevada. The Death Valley National Park was established in 1994. You will find among other wonders the lowest, hottest, driest spot in the United States, Salt Flats, Deep Cut Canyons, and Devils Hole to explore. Learn more here.

How will you be spending the remaining $8,500.00 today?

HERE IS MY PLAN: Imagine Better

“The world is moving so fast these days that the person who says it cannot be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.” Harry Emerson Fosdick

Although the details have not been made public as of my writing, Hope sparks in the Middle East as the news of a cease fire and hostage release in Gaza is circulating around the world. I choose to believe that better is possible. Hope is also rising from the ashes as wildfires continue to burn in Los Angeles County, California. People helping people. Ruben Varghese, a sixteen-year-old California High School student imagined people affected by these fires might find it useful to be able to access services and assistance by consolidating all these resources into a one-stop website. Some people want to contribute to help others, some people need the assistance being offered to feed or house their families. Check out the website here. What action can you take today to respond with love and be a better human? Remember that Humanity is a choice.

Every Connection is an investment in yourself.

Connection Matters.

How are you showing up in the world?

$100.00: for self-care. I added portable, lightweight solar powered Luci lamps to my Emergency Go Bag. And I love that!

$0 Priceless: Human Spirit and Kindness

“When you can do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world” — George Washington

One of my friends shared a personal story this week that expanded my heart. She was parked in front of a United Parcel Service store as she summoned the courage to walk in and ask for help to mail a few items. Four hours and a box of tissues later, she gathered herself with five minutes left until closing time. She carefully placed the items on the counter. The United States Flag in a glass case, Military Medals, a pair of shoes and a baseball mitt were among the items to be shipped. She explained that the items belonged to the deceased dad of an ex-boyfriend. The woman behind the counter told my friend that she was a better person than her, because if her “EX” was unfaithful those items would have been thrown in the trash. My friend said that his dad deserved the nation’s respect for his service, and it was from that perspective that it was imperative that these items arrived safely back to his family. The clerk was moved and with loving intention packaged the items with great care. How kind can you stand it? Respond to life with love. Repeat. What would it take?

$5,400.00: These dollars are being sent to the World Central Kitchen organization to help feed people affected by wildfires in California. Their founder Jose Andres says, “when people are hungry, send in cooks. Not tomorrow, today!” It is all about being the best version of humanity. Imagine people who are helping people. Learn more here.

$2,000.00: These dollars are being donated to The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change.  The official Martin Luther King Jr (MLK Jr) Holiday is Monday. Kings’ leadership changed the landscape of civil rights and racial equality through nonviolent activism. He sparked generations into action with his speech “I Have a Dream”. The MLK Jr legacy is one of community hope and healing, Dr. King “Had a dream”. Peace for all communities. I am willing to be part of that change. You can learn more about Dr. King’s philosophies here.

Imagine better is possible. How open is your heart to shift perspective and see others from their heart space? What are you contributing to live in a better world in 2025?

$1000.00: for a date with my husband. You will find us in front of the fire, just reading and talking as we are laying low due to winter’s extra chill. We are relaxing 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 World Central Kitchen to support wildfire assistance in California. The mailing address is P.O. 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 spent time talking with a fifth grader who needed help writing a report about the history of Presidential Inauguration events. 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 increasing my meditation practice to expand my inner peace. What are you doing or not doing for self-care?

Planet Awareness: Contributing to the health of Earth.

Do you know about “climate transition budgets?” According to Margaret Morales, director of carbon at GreenBiz Group. “Climate transition budgets are part of a new climate action certification, The Climate Label, launching this month. Companies can seek certification of a corporate entity, subsidiary or brand, although not of individual products or services. It’s replacing the well-known Climate Neutral Certified label.”

Learning what is new can help us make informed choices. 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 Stacey who is helping others find their voice with the community.
