HERE IS MY PLAN: Pay Attention

“Paying attention is the most basic and profound expression of love.” –Tara Brach

How are you showing up in the world?

For close to three decades, I have been creating a working list of my current 50 Living Intentions or life dreams. Do you have a list of your dreams at the ready? I regularly share my Living Intentions with a select group of friends. The sharing of which holds me accountable for what I say I want in my life. Additionally, this practice allows me to witness and contribute to the dreams of my friends. Although I read my list of 50 with someone each week, I also choose one of these Living Intentions to be the focus of each calendar month with my friend Tara. I am paying attention, noticing my choices and being accountable to my dreams with friends. This practice helps keep me consistent and aware of how I am showing up in life and who I am at each moment.  Do you have a list of your dreams at the ready? If you knew that today would be your last best day, what would you choose? What are you paying attention to in living your life? We are all invited to live our best life. How are you showing up in the world?

$100.00: self-care to sign up for an online workshop to learn more about how the human heart and brain work as we age. I wonder what I can learn to expand my dreams and allow my well-being to flourish with more ease?

$0: Priceless: Choose to be present at this moment. What do you notice?

“Your life is right now! It’s not later! It’s not in your time of retirement. It’s not when the lover gets here. It’s not when you’ve moved into the new house. It’s not when you get the better job. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. Shift your life focus from what you don’t want, to what you do want. And more of that will show up in your life.” –Abraham Hicks

Speak from your heart. Sixty-two years ago, this week in Washington D.C. at the Lincoln memorial Dr. Martin Luther King spoke from his heart. He shared the inspiring words, “I have a dream.” This message was part of a speech calling for economic and social justice for African Americans. King’s words have echoed in the heart of many over the years. His message is still a call to action for us to stand up and choose racial harmony for all to be “free at last”. What will it take for us all to choose racial harmony? What can we choose today? Learn more here: LEARN MORE HERE!

$119,400.00 I am supporting the “I Have A Dream” Foundation. Their mission is “to empower children from under-resourced communities to succeed in school, college, and career by providing academic, social, and emotional support from elementary school through college, along with postsecondary tuition assistance.” LEARN MORE HERE!

$1000.00: This week’s date includes a discussion about current events over dinner. We are grilling peaches and talking about world affairs. Our relationship expands each time we choose to engage in conversations that activate our critical thinking. We allow space for different points of view.

How much love can you stand?

Flow Five Friday:  Current “real” life expressions of gratitude, love and contribution to well-being.

$5.00: This week’s five-dollar bill is inside the book Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach. It is one of my favorite books to reread every year. I keep several copies of this daybook of essays at home to readily be able to give away to friends. Someone will find Simple Abundance in one of our neighborhood Little Free Libraries with seed money for their dreams.  I am choosing to be the energy of what works in life.

Five increments of time: I am facilitating week four of a Dream Nudge Challenge. I am helping people to move one of their life dreams closer to being fully realized. 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 chose to adjust my bedtime routine to reset my mind and body for peaceful sleep. Ten minutes of yoga and meditation prior to going to bed each night. A good night of sleep, how does it get even better than that? What are you doing or not doing for self-care?

Planet Awareness: Contributing to the health of Earth.

“Paying attention is proactive. It is a conscious act that expands our consciousness.” –Joseph Deitch

Today you are invited to heighten your awareness and notice signs of nature around your home, work, and communities. Capture your findings with a photo. What are you doing for the health of our planet?

Hold Space or Contribute to a Friends Life Intention
