Redirecting

I watched in amusement just now as I signed in to type this post and saw the computer inform me that it was redirecting. Especially since I had decided to share the thoughts I had today. Several months ago I received the message to get my life in order. I worked on it and have reached a new point and am feeling stuck. What to do? I asked more questions and I am being redirected. Now is the time to really take the leap and let go of the junk from the past. I do not really know where to begin...but I knew the information was correct when for Activity Days today I went looking for a pumpkin cookie recipe that I got from my professor at the Utah State Child Development lab...and I found it!
You may see right away that if I still have a recipe written on a piece of note book paper from twenty seven years ago...I have a lot of sifting to do. It is part of the experience of information hording, perhaps I should not sift...merely toss toss toss. I can do it...not sure I want too yet, after all the recipe works great and it is delicious...what other marvelous bits of information will I come across and want to keep for another 27 years.. I can do this. I can do this.

Growing

I spent 45 days doing a mentoring program. It is an awesome experience to connect with and learn from another human being on a daily basis.
I have felt the emptiness that has ensued as the days pass without that daily interaction.
I really am grateful that my life includes the knowledge learned as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My mentoring encouraged waking up and connecting to source (God), be in gratetude for the day. Then sending the blessings desired for my day ahead.
During meditation time, after I am ready for my day to think about those children in my life and ask, "what I can do to support them in feeling totally loved today.?" or "What could I do today to help them reach their goals?" "What does my spouse need from me today?" Then check in with myself and check for anyone whom I may have a forgivess issue with and take the time to let go of that so I am not held back. Next to look at my vision board and choose an area that I would like to spend some time on..and see and feel as if I already have it and to consider how having that would affect my spouse, my children..my home and make any adjustments to that goal to be in line with my mission statement.
I am grateful for this season of Thanksgiving.
Thanks for sharing this moment with me. Hugs Lisa
