Good Morning 10.01.2007

Starts October 1
Over the past decade, many people have been turning toward the "voluntary simplicity" movement--giving up chaos for calm, and learning to make life choices that reflect a state of calm-energy instead of anxious-energy

Starts October 15

This course is specifically designed for anyone who has struggled to identify their values, passions and purpose. Over four weeks we will complete a series of exercises that will allow you to CLEARLY articulate the most important forces that drive your life. When we articulate, understand and live by our values, passions and purpose, we can finally fill that ache that is looking for "something more."

Starts October 15

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and those who keep visual journals have found that statement to be very true. If you have tried a written journal and become frustrated for lack of the "right word," or if you want to take your journaling to another level a visual journal may be the answer.

If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.
Booker T. Washington

Good morning! We all have seasons in our lives that are more challenging than others. Seasons where more things seem to weigh on our shoulders or our problems seem larger (or are larger!). When faced with such seasons, it is easy to fall into negative thinking, pessimism, or a general sense of the "doldrums."

When I face these seasons personally, I have noticed that Booker's quote speaks to the simple truth of how to exit this turmoil. The quickest way to step out from under the weight of the world is to reach out to another and help him or her. We may feel like we have nothing to give when we are sad or hurting; but when we reach out we discover that not only do we have something to give--what we can give is unique, wanted and needed.

Your Turn:
Are you down in the "doldrums" or feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders? Reach out to another.

Affirmation:
I push past emotional resistance and lend a helping hand to others.

Challenge Life!
