Rise in peace … live in peace
So much has been going on since my last entry… It has been a fabulous month, a fantastic conclusion to the hardest year of my life. The most amazing thing about hard times is the tremendous opportunity for growth. Looking back, I also realize that what I remember the most was not how hard things were but how strong we are as a family and how we can get through anything.
I am also amazed how the worst part of the last year, was the stress I created in my life because of incessant worry. Seems like we are all holding on to the past and speculating about the future. All in all, the worry was what made things more difficult because it prevented us from being in the moment. Had I just embraced each day for what it was, just another day, I think we would have had a pretty blissfully simple year. Thankfully, I had an underlying feeling of confidence and faith that kept me going through the challenges.
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life.
Yesterday was my 34th birthday. I rose at 4:30 am, not by choice, but by loving support. I drove my husband to his last day of work before our 3 week vacation. (Fun! or as my husband says Fuuuuuun!) I am so glad and thankful I did… it gave me the opportunity to greet the sun as it rose to illuminate the sky. It was absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and incredibly uplifting.
With everything that is going on in the world, I sometimes feel as though we have been blessed and are living in paradise. Peace is all around us here in Quebec and in Canada.
I believe one simple way to contribute to world peace is by finding inner peace.
And so, I am making the commitment to rise in peace every morning and to focus on cultivating peace one thought at a time like I did on the day of my birthday.
Sending bright beams of gratitude into the Universe!
May you have a fantastic year!
Rise in peace with me and lets start a dialogue
