be

All I can do is have an open heart to accept goodness; and hope that others will in turn accept goodness from me.

I have been meaning for some time to carve out some time to just BE. I find that yoga and meditation are they keys to helping me live in the present; to regroup and focus; to practice gratitude and reflection.

I did some meditation last night. Hard to focus, but it still really freed my mind and I immediately felt energy flowing where before it was a bit stuck.

I really need to make this a habit (broken record, here). Mornings are best for me. I’ll wake up a little earlier and try to stay off the computer a little more to do this very important ritual. For me.

_{notice time on the computer this morning instead of meditating. Old habits are hard to break :)}

in being authentic, even when it leads to vulnerability. I don’t want to quiet my voice for fear of saying or doing the wrong thing. I feel what I feel, and the free expression of that is priceless.

has been a struggle. But I am recommitting!

Be present.
Be strong.
Be focused.
Be happy.
Be gracious.

Be!

I returned to 43T with the intention of pursuing goals that were basic and pure, yet so challenging for me to achieve. I have just started to think beyond my proverbial box, and am coming to the delightful realization of all of the power within me, waiting to be harnessed, cultivated, and used to acheive a heightened state of being.

In the spirit of beginning my journey, I will define my goal of “Be”...

- Be Present
- Be Authentic
- Be Grateful
- Be Aware
- Be Open

On a related note, there is a person on 43T who continually inspires me with her thoughts and observations on various topics. If you haven’t checked her out yet, do so. You won’t be disappointed!
