We have $73,000.00 today.

HERE IS MY PLAN: Serve with Intention

“When the ground shifts, I have found the best thing to do is be of service. Go where the light is. Go where the love is. Go where the people who are doing beautiful things are. And guess what? They are everywhere. Yes, they are. They are in houses of worship. They are volunteering at hospitals. They are running soup kitchens. They are working in schools. They are coaching kids and coaching adults. They are writing books and touring the country to share the lessons from the frontlines of their lives”. — Maria Shriver

How are you showing up in the world?

The ground is shifting. I feel the upheavals of change all around me. I feel like I am riding the waves of an epic Tsunami. Exhausted, processing layers and layers of grief.  Yes, and I am refueling my heart in service to others. Each week I listen to several children read schoolbooks to me, tell me stories about their current experiences and share their dreams. The ground is shifting. Volunteer. Be of service. Ride the waves of change, do what you can and serve others to fuel your heart. How are you showing up in the world?

$100.00: for self-care. I am buying books to read and pass on. And I love that!

$0: Priceless: Service to others.

“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, will help immensely.” — Clarissa Pinkola Estes

The ground is shifting. Remember to ask for help, even when it feels insignificant. Author and inspirational speaker Simon Sinek invites us to consider that “Asking for help is an act of service.” Sinek implores us not to deny our friends the honor of being there to support us. What if giving and receiving support from others is the key to being a better human? Be of service and ask for help. What if it is that simple?

$20,400.00: These dollars are supporting Garden City Harvest programs to feed the community with healthy, locally grown produce. Grow, Feed, and Inspire is the motto of this community impact organization. Their programs include Community Gardens, Farm to School, Neighborhood Farms, Youth Development and more.

$15,000.00: Victory Gardens. I am donating to the Denver Urban Gardens (DUG), whose programs support the underserved populations by creating sustainable, food-producing neighborhood community gardens. Research efforts from the Colorado School of Public Health indicate that DUG efforts have led to tangible, positive changes in community health and food security.  Current world events invite everyone to consider gardening as a contribution to world peace.

Do you ever wonder if you are showing up in life as a better human? Ask more questions. Ask your friends for help and allow them the honor to support you. Respond with love. Repeat. What would it take?

$1000.00: for a date with my husband. We are having heart conversations while watching the sunset 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-dollar bill is inside the library book called: Nature Play Workshop for Families: A Guide to Learning Experiences in All Seasons. Written by Monica Wiedel-Lubinski and Karen Madigan. I am choosing to be the energy of what works in life.

Five Increments of Time: This week I listened to children read and tell me stories about things going on in their lives. 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 having more Conscious Conversations with friends. What are you doing or not doing for self-care?

Planet Awareness: Contributing to the health of Earth.

Planting vegetables and herb gardens is one way to serve others in our communities. Gardening is like having a secret conversation with Earth during growing seasons.  I am exploring the workshops offered by Garden City Harvest. The one I am interested in is called Growing Great Tomatoes. 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 Kat who is creating a movement around permaculture. One of Kat’s Living Intentions is to help people grow their own food. She is a retired science teacher on a mission to help people create food freedom for their families. You can support her Living Intention by imagining she has a waitlist for her next class. Easy Strategies to Grow Food Naturally for a Healthier Life

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.
