Mind your roots

May 25, 2012

Good Morning and Happy Friday!  It’s Memorial Day week-end, the unofficial kick off to summer.  

Today’s message is a reminder to nourish your roots.   Think of your roots as those things that ground you, support you, and give you a sense of stability, security.   What are those things?  How do you tend them?    What attention do you give them?     What might strengthen them?

For example:

-         Look at your home environment.  Does it offer you comfort?  Is it a place where you can restore yourself, rest?  

-        Consider your relationships.  How do you get and give support to one another?  Who do you know that is there for you no matter what?

-        What do you do to take good care of your health, maintaining your energy? 

Get the idea?   Notice what you have in your life that supports your growth, your creativity, your vitality;   appreciate that, tweak, add, or prune as needed.

Keep growing,

Judy

And, if something you want is greater clarity and support on this journey – I can help with that.

Endings & Beginnings

May 18, 2012

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

This week in a conversation the question was raised, “What is ending and what is beginning?”  Such a good question, and very apropos this time of year; with a school year ending, graduations underway, many of us notice this being a time of change.   So, my request today is that you take a pause and reflect on what is ending and what is beginning.

Recognize what is ending in this season, cycle, stage, month, and take time to reflect on:

            -Accomplishments

            - Success – What worked?  What didn’t work?

            - What did you get better at?  Where were you spinning your wheels?

            - Where is there room for improvement?

            - What was enjoyable?

            - What insights were revealed?

            - What is calling for attention?

            - What is worth continuing?

            - What are the signs, inklings, clues to note?  What is your intuition telling you?

Pay attention! This is your journey,

Judy

No crowding please

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

Keeping this short today and for good reason – the reminder today is to allow yourself space.

Even with a busy schedule, a long to-do list, many responsibilities and a vision you want to bring to life, find spaces in between to take a breath, be mindful, be present.   Create some quiet moments – turn off the noise – quiet your thoughts – take in your surroundings – feel your body – be quiet.   

Notice what you get when you give yourself some spaciousness.    And, if you want to let me know, I am interested.

Ahhhhhh,

Judy

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

This morning I find myself thinking about challenges.   Life presents challenges in many ways: expected, unexpected, invited, uninvited, rewarding, frustrating, learning opportunities, wastes of time.   Have you noticed this?  How do you react when faced with a challenge?  What perspective do you bring to the situation, is it always the same?  Do you tend to let challenges find you, or do you go seeking challenges?

Challenges can be opportunities for growth.   It is likely that moving in a direction that is a stretch, a bit out of your comfort zone can offer something.  

My suggestion is to challenge yourself, try something new, start a project, and step out there.   See what happens!

Take a chance,

Judy
