My Sticking Point

The old adage of time heals all wounds has certainly been on my mind as of late. There is no doubt that I am actively involved in a period of recovery. Healing on all levels, physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. How much time is needed, it seems one may never know and I sure don’t.Continue reading “My Sticking Point”

Reemergence

Sometimes we can find ourselves in periods of hibernation. While I didn’t think I needed the rest, the cycles of life proved to me just  how necessary it was.  I had to admit this has been where I had been residing for the last few weeks. The depths of dormancy had overtaken me  as IContinue reading “Reemergence”

Am I Using The Right Fork?

It’s a question we’ve all needed to ask at one time or another. And not just at a formal dinner table. “Which fork do I use?” also applies to our journey, as we reach those points along the path where we must choose the next direction of travel. Now our shared path of “Becoming Today”Continue reading “Am I Using The Right Fork?”

Obsoletism Opposed

We  begin this week with an update. One that comes quicker than I would have thought and includes a synchronicity no one could have seen coming. I’ll explain on this edition of “Becoming Today”. On Friday I posed a question that I described as sounding odd, however it’s something I’ve been pondering for awhile. PerhapsContinue reading “Obsoletism Opposed”

Expanding Our Circle

On our shared path of “Becoming Today”, change is the one constant. We must always be willing to embrace the idea, to seek to better ourselves, our families, our communities and society in general. Where there is risk, there is always the potential for reward. We must choose to act in those moments and notContinue reading “Expanding Our Circle”

Are You Becoming Obsolete?

Sounds like an odd question I know, however it’s something I’ve been pondering for awhile. Perhaps in a way different than what many may expect. Besides, today marks an anniversary of a foundational aspect for this question. I’ll explain, coming up on this edition of “Becoming Today”. It was 62-years ago this evening that CBSContinue reading “Are You Becoming Obsolete?”

Refreshing Our Renewal

Another month has arrived here at Becoming Today and looking ahead I am declaring June to be a month of Renewal. Yes I said declaring it, and boldly so, because it is something that not only am I feeling strongly led to for myself, but as I look around we have such a need forContinue reading “Refreshing Our Renewal”

Regifting

We’re not talking about you receiving two of the same item from different people, or even that time when your husband forgot he already bought you that, for an earlier anniversary. Rather our conversation on this edition of “Becoming Today” will examine gifts you already have, that you may not be making use of orContinue reading “Regifting”

Conscientious Principled Honor

It’s something that the news of the day again shows us we need to be more concerned with. Rather than seeking to place blame or screaming ‘hooray for our side‘, we need to become more focused on the root of the issues. On this edition of “Becoming Today”, as the headline suggests our conversation willContinue reading “Conscientious Principled Honor”

Embracing Our Natural State

What better way to start a new week, than to do so in nature. In our natural state. No, that’s not what I meant. Being a naturist is altogether different, but I suppose, if you’re comfortable with it, clothing can be optional for this discussion. Afterall we’ll be going beyond the flesh to explore whatContinue reading “Embracing Our Natural State”

Re-Decorating This Holiday

Some 155 years ago today a nation was healing from violence. Trying to move beyond mass shootings, domestic violence and terroristic threats they began to come together  by commemorating Decoration Day. Since then the name has changed. The scope increased but still a need addressed in its original intention should be recognized. That’s our focusContinue reading “Re-Decorating This Holiday”

Meta Morphing Us Again

The one thing constant is life is change. Today marks nine months to the day that those changes for me sent me down unfamiliar paths, uncharted forks and to witness things I never thought I would. That’s why on this edition of “Becoming Today” I’d like to revisit a message I was sharing widely beforeContinue reading “Meta Morphing Us Again”

Reigniting Again

This week I’ve been sharing from some deeply personal lessons. I , found myself again noting, “isn’t it that you are asked to be the strongest when you feel the weakest?”. There have been extended periods of time where I was trying to battle physical issues to keep up with day to day tasks. AsContinue reading “Reigniting Again”

Revisiting Being In The Midst

No matter what it is you may currently be going through, you can do so in a state of peace. I had to remind myself of that so many times in recent weeks. It has worked in the past , it worked now and I know it will again in the future. So on thisContinue reading “Revisiting Being In The Midst”

Realizing

If nothing else, over the past 40 some days I have come to understand that there are some basic human needs that are not only not being met, I also have witnessed that many have no idea what they are or why they are so important. I’ll share some of these things I’ve been realizing,Continue reading “Realizing”

I’m Still Standing

Hello, yes it’s me and it sure feels like I’ve been thinking about us for a long, long time. Plus at times circumstances made it seem as if all the clocks had simply stopped. They had not. Nor have I. Through it all, seemingly against all odds and only by complete surrender can I testifyContinue reading “I’m Still Standing”

Forward Through It Day 18

As we continue forward in a somewhat limited capacity, as I discussed last month some things beyond our control have manifested. As many of the challenges we’ve addressed for the past eight  months have shown, sometimes we have no idea what may cross our paths next. Fortunately, while I can not exactly at this momentContinue reading “Forward Through It Day 18”
