Beautiful blog and wonderful reminder Amy. Just last night I was reading about Happiness and the author talked about how happiness is only available RIGHT NOW and only when we make ourselves available to happiness….that we awaken to the preciousness of life and are present for the beauty, wonder, and joy right before us. Thanks for sharing so openly about your family. Wishing your father very well in his recovery.

Thank you for sharing so fully, Amy. I’ve been crossing paths with this quote a lot lately and you just helped me understand it on a new level.

“The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don’t feel really good on your way to there, you can’t get there. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you’re reaching for more.”

Amy, love the message – in Tiara this month we are focused on “acceptance” – of ourselves our situations and others. The thing I hear in your message is that life is a ‘both/and’. It is sad, and it is happy. Life is full of big moments and little moments.

Remembering it is ALL of it and also remembering the things that matter most to each of us is what gives me a great acceptance and perspective.

Beautifully stated Amy and a gentle reminder to stop waiting for the “whens” and “thens”. The time is now!

Comment on Where are you coming from Love or Fear? by Franciska

Thank you Beth,
I have carried your reflections along with me over the past 10 days, regularly checking in many different situations: am I coming from love, am I coming from fear? Every time I did, I felt inspired from the feeling that I was in a position to choose. Sometimes confirming: yes I am coming from love! Sometimes finetuning: mmmm, ok, more fear than love, so let me choose to shift that. What a gift!!thank you for that awareness!

Thanks for sharing this, Beth. It does seem that we are always present to one or the other – love or fear. When one is present, there is no room for the other. “Perfect love casts out all fear”.

It’s a profound gift to be aware of what’s present – love or fear. Whichever is present will shape our actions and outcomes.

Once, when I was preparing for a potentially tough meeting, a colleague asked if I was putting on my armor. I paused and said, “If I’m wearing armor, there’s no way we can really connect with each other and communicate.” We wear armor when we are present to fear; we shed it when we are present to love.

Thanks.

Judith, I can see the energy provided by your clear source of your inspiration – connecting nature, beauty and live giving food source production all in balance and in harmony with our world. Lovely. Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you will be joining us on the Teleconnect on January 17th.

Dear Beth
Thank you for your words. It is great to reflect again about what inspires me in live.What makes me thick is experiencing the taste of Good Food and the beauty of Nature. The appreciation, seduction and lust of good quality products and the overwhelming feeling to be connected with the world when I am in the forest, inspires me to work with passion on the supply of local food produced in harmony with nature. Love, Judith

Thank you Beth, here an inspired response:

what makes me tick is experiencing the magic of life. The quote by Howard Thurman, a black minister and leader with a vision I have under my e-mail messages for year now is really at the core of my inspiration:

“Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive, because what the world needs is people who have come alive”. More true for me than ever with a responsibility to BE alive first, to be able to lead others from that inspiration. And this is not always as easy as it sounds, especially when life throws things at you you u would rather prefer to throw back. But the unwavering commitment to my inspiration, my true power source, got me right through it, again and again. So I can truly say: life IS awesome. Live yours! Sometimes against all odds. And knowing your source of inspiration guides you through your darkest nights.
Love Andrea

Fabulous read! Beth, you beautifully (yet again) articulate the distinctions of many of us who help change peoples lives in one way or another. Thank you for being a source of inspiration for me and others. I’ll be sharing your entry here tonight and the upcoming call with my clients tonight.
