Somewhere in Texas
Daylight savings, falling back. An hour gained in a fitful night of non-sleeping. Woke up in Texas a full three hours behind the life I left back at home. Turning back the dial on my watch feels like a task I can't quite muster the strength to do today; perhaps I'll do it upon my return. Maybe here, for just a moment, time will stop.
I sat beside the reflection of a full moon and listened to a beloved friend share the intentions she set for herself at the beginning of what has proved to be for her a tremendous journey of growth and healing. And in listening I realized I need to set a few intentions of my own.
I'll start today. With these:
Own your decisions.
Eliminate self-doubt. Banish it.
Forgive yourself. Over and over. Forgive.
Let it be.
Be calm.
Be healthy.
Be a good steward of the life you are living. Live it fully. Live it happily.
Show your sons your whole heart. Let them feel you fully love. Let the love in. Share it all with them.
Stay steadfast in pursuing the life your heart leaps for.
Do something wonderful for someone else. Every day.
Lead with gratitude.
Let go.
Starting today. All of the above.
