Authenticity, deeper connections with my lifelong friends and family, repair damaged relationships, self awareness and acceptance, be more present in my daily life, service to others, and be a more active participant in my community,
A daily consistent practice of quiet reflection and preparation for the day. As I and my loved ones age and need ever more help, patience and optimism, I need to have more stores of these qualities in order to give to myself and others.
Moving on with my past and not stress about the future. Confidence, braveness, be more calming, less attitude, and just be myself without caring about what anyone thinks about me.
Working through old wounds and trauma, I wish to cultivate a calm response when triggered….rather than reacting or dissociating. Although hard work, I am grateful to have been led to this awareness. My wish is to be what Rumi calls a “guest house””.
“Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.”
Thank you, Diane – a ‘guest house’ – thank you for introducing me to that delightful Rumi poem. I was expecting something about the guests leaving my house, too, but maybe the welcoming is the important part 🙂
Now that I think about it, that is the important part – if I don’t try to keep them out, they won’t keep pounding on my door?

Moving on with what happend in my past. Forget about all of the bullies. And stand strong and dont let other people take me down.
Nothing. Nowhere to be, nothing to do. Nothing to prove. Just be. When I comes, tell it “not here now” and watch it float away.
Moving on with my past and not stress about the future. Confidence, braveness, be more calming, less attitude, and just be myself without caring about what anyone thinks about me.
My faith. Meditation. Visualization.
A valid contemplative life.
Deep connection. Calmness. Confidence.

But I am so grateful to realize there are many other things that are plentiful in my life… love being the first.
Energy and passion to resist the forces that are taking us backward into the Dark Ages.
