So, enough of my news, how are all of you? Looking back on the meeting what do you each recall that has stuck with you most? I'd love to know. This is a week of gratitude for me, and I include all of you in my appreciation and have thought of you much. Based on Lorrie's posts, I know you discussed organization of the blog and see that we can post pics! You picked a great one, Lorrie!!! I would be posting one right now, but we didn't bring the correct cable for our camera to connect to Tom's computer! Maybe we can borrow one, and I'll send you a Mountain View.
My commitment this week was singular -- to pray daily. The way I see it, if my spiritual life is my priority, it makes everything else in my life more positive, meaningful, and balanced. It's working beatifully for this vacation, but I also believe that back in my "regular" environment, it's going to remain number one. I plan to find ways to enhance this sense of peace that comes from tending to my spirit with care and time daily.
I am far less anxious. Yes, I know vacation is supposed to do that in and of itself. But I find that many things about travel and so-called "taking it easy" have often made me and others with me a bit anxious! (anyone else?) I'm noticing that little things like waiting longer than we "should" for something just doesn't get under my skin like it used to. I'm also not feeling this internal pressure that I should be the one who takes care of everything when in a group of people (as if I could or anyone wants that!!). It's really nice. I'm in a wonderful geographical and spiritual place at this very blessed moment. I wish the same for us all.
I'd love to hear back from some or all of you regarding what's working for you or not, and what's primarily on your minds whether in relation to the meeting or just this week. Miss you and look forward to seeing you soon! Noel
Hey Noel!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are enjoying your time in Big Sky! Amazingly beautiful, isn't it? How could you not be inspired!
It is so good to hear from you. Your committment to pray daily is great. I agree, if your spiritual life is the main priority, then the rest of the things in your life will fall in place. It is so awe inspiring and powerful to know that reflection and meditation in that form can make the greatest difference in your well being.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation! Have so much fun, continue to be inspired, can't wait to see you upon your return!

I am so proud of you Noel.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago, you fearlessly looked at some very challenging things. It wasn't easy, but you did it. Now, although these challenging issues haven't magically disappeared, they don't seem to have the same power over you, do they? I saw it in your face before you left and hear it now in your post.
Thank you so much for the courage and honesty.
Noel
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful to be able to read your words of inspiration. I have had many successes over the past few weeks however, yesterday seemed to be one of those "crash and burn days." I haven't figured it all out, but being able to watch you through your walk is encouraging. Your heart is so genuine, and your smile, contagious. I am so glad to have you in my life!
