Time to Digest!
Chapters 1 & 2

Most of us have the feeling that we are here to accomplish something big in our lives, and if we haven’t done something that fits the bill we may feel as if we are waiting. We may feel incomplete, or empty, as if our lives don’t yet make sense to us, because they don’t line up with our idea of major accomplishment. In some cases, this may be because we really are meant to do something that we haven’t yet done. But in most cases, we can let ourselves off the hook with the realization that just being here, being ourselves, is enough. As we live our lives in this world, we share our energy and our spirit with the people around us in numerous ways. Our influence touches their lives and, through them, touches the lives of many more people. When we strive to live our lives to the fullest and to become our true selves, we are doing something big on an inner level, and that is more than enough to make sense of our being here on this planet at this time. There is no need to hold ourselves to an old idea in the back of our minds that we need to make headlines or single-handedly save the world in order to validate our existence. We can each look within our hearts to discover what is true for us, what gives our lives meaning, and what excites us. We can release ourselves from any pressure to perform that comes from outside of our inner sense of purpose. Staying in tune with our own values and living our lives in tune with our own vision is all we need in order to fulfill our time here. Our lives are a process of becoming so that we cannot help but cocreate; being who we are, responding to each moment as it comes, we can trust that this is enough. Source: OM

I could not name a one of you, that hasn't given a me part of who you are and for the better. Thankfully and sincerely, I say to all of you, you have all truly been a fabulous blessing in my life. Namaste~
Nothing Big Required
Chapter 1
You Are Enough Most of us have the feeling that we are here to accomplish something big in our lives, and if we haven’t done something that fits the bill we may feel as if we are waiting. We may feel incomplete, or empty, as if our lives don’t yet make sense to us, because they don’t line up with our idea of major accomplishment. In some cases, this may be because we really are meant to do something that we haven’t yet done.

So now, its Time to Digest!
Chapter 2
So what are my thoughts on all of this...
...I wish sometimes I knew what certain things were REALLY trying to say to me. Providing that COMPLETE understanding we all wonder about from time to time.
Those feelings sometimes, so intense, without any question manage to inspire, uplift or engage my awareness toward growth, and knowing the source of that nudging, is coming from the deepest part of who I am.
So for now, here is a small solution or quick fix so to speak.
I am going to try and "share more", and "share more often".
FFT (food for thought): We'll read, ponder and then digest.
I sincerely invite you to please leave me your comments as we explore a little deeper, ourselves. Some say we already have the answers we are seeking, inside ourselves. Other times, people simply cross our path having been sent to us somehow, someway, acting as an instrument and bringing understanding.
My point is, who knows, maybe this time your "the instrument" with my/ or someone elses answer, insight, experience, perspective. Maybe you have that little thought that bridges the gap to what we call our lack of understanding. Maybe together, offering what we can, we'll experience the sense of progress that sustains, little by little.
The scriptures remind us “that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass” alma 37:6
So here I am going to invite/ask you not to with-hold. To all my friends of whom I have had the privilege of having enter my life. I could not name a one of you, that hasn't given a me part of who you are and for the better. Thankfully and sincerely, I say to all of you, you have all truly been a fabulous blessing in my life.
