Am I Helping or Enabling?

Sometimes it can be a very fine line. More times than not we may cross it without even realizing.  Are you helping someone, or enabling them?  This is an active life lesson I’m finding myself addressing at this time. So I invite you to join me in this living and learning exercise on this editionContinue reading “Am I Helping or Enabling?”

Seeking Silence, Not Remaining Silent

This is another one of those issues, which I’m dealing with from two sides. One I’d like to “give up” in and the other I need to regain focus of. Which one should I address first? Let me flip a coin and see as we begin this edition of “Becoming Today”. Okay heads it is,Continue reading “Seeking Silence, Not Remaining Silent”

Reviewing While Embracing

Another week has come and gone. During which we have encountered and endured many things, including much we would have preferred not to. However as I write this still the birds sing, the sun beams through the clouds and in reviewing the week that was we can choose to embrace the potential for healing andContinue reading “Reviewing While Embracing”

Reemerging and Reengaging

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 have to admit at times I have resided in those dens. Times when the depths of dormancy had overtaken me  as I found myself inContinue reading “Reemerging and Reengaging”

Renewing Purpose

Halfway through the week, seems to me to be a great time to refresh ourselves. The right time for some rejuvenation, refocusing and renewal. Of ourselves, our ideas, thoughts and the direction for the remainder of the week. You’re right, it will take a little effort and some determination to get the most out ofContinue reading “Renewing Purpose”

Read The Signs

It’s important to not only read, but also pay attention to and obey the signs. Just like some you may encounter along the road, not doing so can affect our travels.. A few examples include, “Rocks Falling”, “Deer Crossing”, “Slippery When Wet” or even “It’ll Do Road”.  While not a discussion of traffic regulations, inContinue reading “Read The Signs”

Reviewing A Chaotic Week

It certainly was for many and many more of us are having to endure the effects of those who seem dedicated to keeping chaos front and center. However it really is unnecessary and we need to remember that not succumbing to these attacks is well within our control.  How? Glad you asked the answer isContinue reading “Reviewing A Chaotic Week”

Recognizing Realizations

If nothing else, over the past six months 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 recognized and beenContinue reading “Recognizing Realizations”

Reintegrating Integrity

It is something that once was understood to be an essential in all you do. In all you inspire. In who you are truly “becoming”. However for far too many, it seems integrity does not even cross their minds in an a average day. On this edition of Becoming Today, as the headline suggests ourContinue reading “Reintegrating Integrity”

Tenacity Purposefully Required

No matter who you are, where you are at, what you want to be doing or where you’d like to be, there is a common ingredient necessary. Tenacity. What is it? How do you need to apply it? When should you use it? Those are the questions we’ll address on this edition of “Becoming Today”.Continue reading “Tenacity Purposefully Required”

Becoming In The Midst

No matter what it is you may currently be going through, you can do so in a state of peace. Despite circumstances. Despite threats.Despite the news. When we find ourselves in the midst we can continue forward in love, safely and reassured. This edition of “Becoming Today”, will focus on finding peace in the midstContinue reading “Becoming In The Midst”

Per-Severing

I already see the flashing lights. The grammar police are ready to cite me. However I hope you can be a little more forgiving and accept that I have a reason for restructuring this word. I’ll explain in a moment, on this edition of “Becoming Today”. I’m feeling the need to talk about how toContinue reading “Per-Severing”

Rebirthing Peaceful Reflections

Three simple words, yet they can simply summarize our week together along our shared path. Miss a day? Choose to skip one? No worries, it’s time to look back in order to prepare to move forward on our weekend edition of “Becoming Today”. It began as it seems to, 52 times a year on aContinue reading “Rebirthing Peaceful Reflections”

Reflections On Reflecting

With the annual remembrance marking my birth yesterday I found myself doing more than a certain amount of reflecting. Actually I was reconciling what has really been the past 6-weeks of deep reflection and remedy that I have been undergoing and processing. Let’s talk a bit about the process and the answers I found, onContinue reading “Reflections On Reflecting”

So you might have noticedContinue reading “Rebirthing Defined”

Cast and Release

We’ve been focusing on the concept of “rebirthing”. The focus will vary from person to person but as we prepare to identify amd put plans and strategies into action Lightening our load, releasing our burdens, casting our cares, freeing ourselves to seek our destiny is all a part of being “Becoming”.  None of us needContinue reading “Cast and Release”

Preparing To Conceive…

Why are there three dots following the above?  Well that’s because we are about to transition from the preparatory stages to becoming better able to give life to “it”. What’s that?  What is “it”?  Well you may need to tell me. We’ll explain in a moment on this edition of “Becoming Today”. Yesterday we steppedContinue reading “Preparing To Conceive…”

Pausing and Praying

This is not the post I planned to share today, however given the unforeseen events of this weekend, we need to put a pause on our ongoing discussion of “rebirthing”. Once again the need to pray for peace has become first and foremost. That will be our focus on this edition of “Becoming Today”. AsContinue reading “Pausing and Praying”
