PEBBLE
While eagerly and attentively
waiting for an angel to show up,
5 calls to be one went unheard.

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

Shhhh. Did you hear that? Somewhere nearby someone needs an angel to step forward and lend a hand. The person who needs your help may not ask loudly, and they may not say please. Your extra effort today to help that particular person could make this a better world.
Peace,
Paul

PEBBLE
Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.

BOULDER
Each of us experiences life in our own context,
but for all of us there is a struggle
to balance the reality of life
with our needs and our dreams.
Perhaps the most difficult thing of all
is to value our life and who we are,
and to direct our life in a manner that honors it..."
-Lauri Harper, submitted by Maggie J., Newberg OR
_______
PONDER
Each day we have many choices to make how we respond to the people and events we encounter. If we are not careful and if we are not conscious, we end up reacting to them without pausing to consider the best possible course of action. Our quotes this week invite us to "direct our life in a manner that honors it" and I dare you to allow some extra breaths and even some quiet time before making decisions about how you respond.
Your best self can emerge and help you identify new possibilities for you and for others. It can be challenging AND I believe you can "rise to it!"
Peace,
Paul

to live lives of undisrupted calm,

It is given us

This week might be an excellent time to take your life firmly by the lapel and take it somewhere scary and exciting. Perhaps your life needs you to speak up or take action or slow down or start over or accept a challenge recently offered.
Whatever action you end up choosing, I hope you follow through and see where it takes you.
Let's GO!
Peace,
Paul
