This seems like it should be a simple question. My mind goes to too many places that need attention. Work, chores, my beautiful wife, friends, the cats. I think the answer is meditation. This is a good reminder that I need to practice.
Today I have a challenging meeting regarding a homeless encampment in Minneapolis. Government entities are not willing to secure hygienic resources (biff/toilet) for those living unsheltered. May Grace prevail, anointing me to listen with compassion as Sophia (Wisdom) guides my thoughts and words.
Blessing to you as you about doing such an important work. Thank you for living as Matthew 25 instructs to live. May the hearts be open to help our brothers and sisters in a humane way.
Today I plan to pay attention to myself, but not in a selfish ‘it’s-all-about-me’ way; rather, I want to attend to the way I relate to and come across to others I meet. As John O’Donohue says, “In order to be, we need to be ‘with’ [others],” and I want to be the best version of myself with and to others.
I will be conscious of this whenever and whatever the occasion. I am in a difficult situation, and my intention will be to approach it with love and no judgment.
Today I can give my whole hearted attention to my Higherself….to the principle of self love. I can do this by being mindful of my actions and thoughts and realigning those area to be congruent with what my HigherSelf would do.
I think I deserve to give it to myself today. I’m off work and need to devote some time to my yoga studies and also my physical practice. I’m also planning on giving some time to decorating our tree with my husband. We put the lights and star on the other night, but haven’t put any ornaments on yet. I look forward to enjoying the day!

The day is pretty much done at this point.This morning I gave my wholehearted attention to our monthly Gratefulness Gathering, a sacred time.
Mostly work since it is a work day but my mind did wonder on other things that are close to my heart and necessary to
ponder over.
My boyfriend because its his birthday today!
Today I tired to pay attention to all my customers! Smile and say hello!
What a wonderful gift it is to be able to give our attention to someone or something. And the whole of the heart as well. Wow!
Myself. I need some TLC.

Awareness first and then skillfully cultivate helpful “heart centered” actions and words.
Hopefully, every moment!

Thank you Carla for caring and for taking action.
Thank you for doing this work, Carla.
This problem is complicated and will require many solutions.
Compassion is a virtue.

Yram, Hope progress is made in the situation and things start to improve.

The phrase “while hearted attention” is helpful for me. Thank you!

To everyone I meet today and to every one of my chores. I try to pay attention to help maintain my awareness in the present.
