Greetings!
A New Year....a New Opportunity! If you are like me,
the beginning of the new year signals the need for a
brand new calendar. The expansiveness and the
openess of the clean, unmarked calendar seems to
be
so fleeting as the requisite appointments and
schedules quickly fill the
pages. Perhaps this is the year to stop and take a
breath before mindlessly filling in the anticipated
events. Are we able to observe the unfilled pages as
opportunities for us to re-define, re-balance and
re-center ourselves in the present moment? Can
we
challenge ourselves to enter on the calendar of our
busy lives a
time for practicing stress reduction? What
would that activity or practice look like? Is there
room on the calendar for YOU this year?
I encourage you to seek out ways to bring
awareness into your days, weeks, months and
years...remembering to start with the present
moment.
May your 2006 be filled with mindful moments,
Peace,
Pam
