Inspiration Friday 2025.03.07

Inspiration: Happy Friday!
Today is the 66th Day of 2025.

We have $66,000.00 today.
10% savings = $6,600.00
40% taxes = $26,400.00: This week I am expressing gratitude for these tax dollars being spent to support the Glacier Bay National Park. Located in the state of Alaska. The Glacier Bay National Park’s designation timeline is as follows: 1925 National Monument; 1980 National Park and Preserve; 1992 a World Heritage site. You will find among other wonders over 1000 glaciers, including tidewaters which are the fastest moving glaciers in the world. Photography, hiking, and rock climbing are the top recreational options in this National Park. You can take virtual tours from the comfort of your home on the National Park website. Learn more HERE.

How will you be spending the remaining $33,000.00 today?

HERE IS MY PLAN: Shift 1% Towards Joy

“We get knocked out of alignment all the time! We all have egos. We stress out, we freak out, we judge, we make mistakes. The key to living better is our comeback rate. So, ask yourself: How can I come back to love and feel better fast”. — Gabby Bernstein

How are you showing up in the world?

It feels unsettling to be human at this time in history. Life, as we know it, is changing faster and faster. Somedays it feels like I am in a bad dream. That is when I shift 1% towards joy. I find something to be grateful for in that moment. Joy is my “true north” on the compass that navigates me towards a life well lived.  Routine is one of the keys to my ability to create room for my imagination to have time to play. I schedule spontaneous time into my calendar. I start each day with an exercise from the book The Artist’s Way, by author Julia Cameron. The practice she outlines is called “Morning Pages.” The intention is to clear your mind at the start of each day, allowing your curiosity and creativity to be set free. Since 1992 when I first read this book, I have been setting a timer and writing until the buzzer sounds off. Whatever is on my mind gets dumped onto paper. Usually it is words expressing ideas, feelings, fears, expectations, or a made-up story. Sometimes I draw instead of writing words. However, once the alarm indicates that time is up, I shred the papers with no attachment to the content. This clearing of fear or worry from my mind allows space to focus on daily miracles. Today I saw a beautiful sunrise peeking over the eastern mountain range. Joy makes a difference. How are you showing up in the world?

$100.00: For self-care. I am paying to have phone service. Connection fuels joy. And I love that!

$0: Priceless: Find your kindness anchors in these challenging times.

“Do your little bit of good where you are: It’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” — Desmond TuTu

Did you hear the story about the 87-year-old man who invited his neighbors to a winter party at his house? His handmade invitation as well as his personal door-to-door delivery was captured on one neighbor’s Ring camera. It went viral and sparked others to connect with their communities. See how the story unfolded HERE!

What if we all invited a neighbor to a conscious conversation over a meal this week. We can contribute little bits of good even while the chaos of change is upon us. Find your kindness and share it with the world. We need your heart songs and connection.

How are you showing up?

$31,900.00: Again, this week I am contributing funds to provide meals to people anywhere on the globe where they need food and water. These dollars 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 a Conscious Conversation with friends over zoom and listen to their heart stories.

Respond with love. Repeat. What would it take?

$1000.00: for a date with my husband. We are having a zoom dinner with family and friends. Creating little bits of joy.

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-dollar bill is inside the library book called: Don’t Feed the Worry Bug. Written and illustrated by Andi Green. I am choosing to be the energy of what works in life.

Five Increments of Time: This week I drove my husband to the doctor and physical therapy appointments. Every minute he is getting closer to being well, recovering from major surgery. 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. This week I allowed myself to cancel more meetings to shift my time to care for my husband.  Clearing my schedule creates space to be present in the moment. What are you doing or not doing for self-care?

Planet Awareness: Contributing to the health of Earth. Did you know that the United Kingdom is currently painting wind turbine blades black? Research studies show that when these blades are painted black it prevents bird collisions by 70%. Little bits of good are making a big difference. 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 Emily who facilitated her first Mastermind class this week. One of Emily’s Living Intentions is to help people prioritize heart in every Sales Communication. She helps people shift their money mindset. Imagine feeling safe and empowered with each transaction from this point forward. Emily says that Sales are just heart conversations. You can support her Living Intention by checking out Her Closing Edge group HERE!

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.
