"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." - Jane Goodall

 

Are you in touch with the part of you that makes choices every day? Some of your choices serve life and encourage its growth within and all around you, while others can diminish or divide it in one way or another. What awareness do you bring to your decision making process to make it a practice of consciousness and a reflection of your values? Are you familiar with your worldview today, how it has been formed, as well as how it changes through the years of your living experiences? If you were to write a "manifesto" or declaration for the intentions of your life in ten statements, what would it say and how would it reflect what matters most to you?

 

There is a seed planted in your heart. It is a seed of possibility and potential. How it grows and what it becomes are dependent upon how you nurture its well-being through the cycles of your body, the rhythms of your soul and the seasons of your spirit. Who has planted this seed in your heart and soul? Who cultivates its growth and flourishing in your life? How is it that seeds have the blueprint for what they are to become already contained within them?

 

I enjoy asking questions and discovering that no two people will ever answer them in the same way. Each of us truly does have a unique voice. I trust that that voice is both a gift and an invitation. It blesses us with a call to be and to express exactly who we are. It challenges us to cultivate our growth, not only for our own sake, but for the benefit of the whole, the interdependence within life inviting each of us to contribute to the quality of life for all.
