Every Day Possibilities

Why have I waited so long to speak with you about this? I can only surmise that it is due to things out of my control. I follow my heart, preparing to have the message ready everyday for whatever you may need as we continue "Becoming Today".

Every day is a promise. Every day is a gift. Every day holds the potential, to learn, to grow; to become amazed and blessed.  In fact every moment of every day is filled with limitless possibilities. And yes even the opportunity for ‘these’ to occur.  What are the ‘these’ I’m referring to? Let’s explore that, together on this edition of “Becoming Today”.  Miracles: Do We Still Believe in the…

Dream Stealers

We see this regularly. Groups that claim to be Christians that publicly encourage violence against others. Organizations that in the name of religion organize attacks. These Dream Stealers are among those who are not walking the path of "Becoming Today".

So who are “they”? Does anybody really know? It’s one of those questions that if we are not, we probably should be asking ourselves on a regular basis. Plus there are a multitude of follow up questions that need to be discussed on this edition of “Becoming Today”.  Our shared path involves a focus on transforming ourselves. We’ve talked about how change is the one constant. We must always be…

Taking Inspired Actions

I believe that everyone has the potential to make a difference in the world. By taking inspired actions, we can all co-create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come who choose to join in walking our shared path we call “Becoming Today".

Inspired action is more than just doing something; it is about aligning our actions with our deepest values, passions, and beliefs.  It’s the spark that ignites a fire within us, propelling us forward with a sense of purpose and meaning.  When we take inspired action, we tap into a wellspring of creativity, resilience, and enthusiasm that can transform both our lives and our shared path of…

Becoming Interruptible

In a world that often feels increasingly isolated, the simple act of becoming interruptible can ripple out, fostering a more empathetic and collaborative society. It's a small shift with potentially profound implications.  Are you ready to take the leap?

In our fast-paced, hyper-connected world, we’ve become masters of efficiency and productivity. We find ourselves constantly seeking to optimize our schedules, minimize distractions, and strive for uninterrupted focus.  However what if this relentless pursuit of efficiency is actually isolating us? What if the key to deeper connections, greater creativity, and even increased productivity lies in…

Reemerging...

Sometimes we can find ourselves in periods of hibernation. While I didn't think I needed the rest, the cycles of life proved to me just  how necessary it was for my continued "Becoming Today".

… and it feels so good! Sometimes we can find ourselves in periods of hibernation. While I didn’t think I needed the rest, the cycles of life proved to me just  how necessary it was.  I have to admit at times I have resided in those dens. Times when the depths of dormancy had overtaken me  as I found myself in a bit of a funk. A malaise. Sub-par; less than average. Not at all where I wanted to…

Revitalizing Your Recharging

By incorporating activities that promote relaxation, reduce stress, and spark creativity, you'll be empowering yourself to live a more fulfilling and productive life. A well-rested and re-energized you is better equipped for "Becoming Today".

Have you noticed yourself hitting the snooze button more often/ It takes a lot of energy to grow, heal and continue our “becoming“. It’s natural that we may now also need to readjust our patterns and attitudes a bit. So let’s come together to refocus and revitalize our approach to re-energize our energy on this edition of “Becoming Today”.  Hitting the Reset Button: Why Re-energizing is Your…

Overcoming Compassion Fatigue

By taking proactive measures to address compassion fatigue, you're not only caring for yourself but also ensuring your ability to continue making a positive impact on the lives of others who are also “Becoming Today”.

Yesterday we spent our time together discussing something many are searching for – compassion. I also promised that today we would have a conversation that required both personal and societal healing. So what is compassion fatigue? And why do we need to overcome it? Those are some of the questions we’ll consider together on this edition of “Becoming Today”. Compassion Fatigue: The Silent Toll…

Redefining Compassion

Living within a covenant of becoming compassionate allows us to feel more, help others and embrace our vulnerability. That can transform our suffering, pain or injustice into healing, growth and change as we continue together "Becoming Today".

Since we began this shared journey together four years ago, there is one topic that has been and continues to be the most responded to. I know I’ve shared that factoid before, but like most things that bear repeating, it’s important that we continue to seek and study it. So today we are not reinventing the wheel, rather we need to reflect upon compassion to truly embrace it and understand why…

Revisiting 4-ALL

By creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment we can create a more productive, innovative, and successful society. We can also attract and retain the best people , with the necessary talents to create a more "Becoming Today", 4-All.

We began the year together by issuing a couple of proclamations. Boldly declaring our direction for this new year of 2024.  In one of the decrees published I noted: “In this Year of “4-All,” let us celebrate the kaleidoscope of cultures, the spectrum of beliefs, the chorus of languages that paint our nation with vibrant life. Let us listen, not with judgment, but with open hearts, to the…

Collective Healing

Together, we can build a world where healing isn't a privilege, but a shared experience that empowers us all to rise above adversity and create a brighter as we continue our journey of "Becoming Today".

As we come together today, let us acknowledge the immense power that lies within the act of embracing one another in collective healing.  We are not isolated beings but part of a larger interconnected web, and by coming together in this space, we have an opportunity to support and uplift each other on our healing journeys.  Each of us carries unique experiences, challenges, and strengths, and…

Heal Yourself Inside Out

Self Care is not a rationalization to become self indulgent. It is not an excuse to self medicate or escape from reality and most important Self-Care is NOT being selfish. Rather it's a step along our path to "Becoming Today".

Turning within, we can find our center. Balance. Ground and prepare to shift our momentum to the next level, moving both forward and upward. It is time to go within and focus on accountability both personally and as the groups we choose to associate with. It should be interesting and hopefully filled with growth and change. However in order to be able to do so, we must first heal ourselves from…

Restoring Balance

Restoring balance takes time. Be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories along the way. By incorporating these steps into your life, you can create a more harmonious and fulfilling existence along our shared path of “Becoming Today”. 

Yesterday I left you with the thought, “We are all intended to be becoming free willed co-creators. So we need to undertake our individual initiatives to focus on re-centering ourselves, resulting in a combined effort to restore balance. Hmm… restoring balance, that sounds like something we should choose to talk about, when you decide to join us again tomorrow for our next edition of ‘Becoming…

Re-centering

Like so much of life, finding your center is a journey, not a destination. Be patient and celebrate small victories along the way. By incorporating these steps day by day, you'll develop a deeper sense of inner peace and balance in your “Becoming Today”.

Finding that vital focal point for ourselves is and has always been important. However, how can we find center, if everything around us is spinning out of control? Not just the seemingly overly divisive people and the organized attempts to keep you focused on nonsensical minutia while remaining blind to the truth, but now the actual Earth is split in two different directions. Let’s explore this…

An “august” Discussion

Since the word "august" implies grandeur, dignity, and importance,let’s agree to accept that we can transform August into a month that truly lives up to its name, as we continue along our shared path of "Becoming Today".

Among the many ways our English language can become peculiar is how a single letter can change the pronunciation of the word as well as giving it a completely different meaning. In the case of the word central to our conversation today, even the height of a single letter completely redefines the six letter idiom. So as we welcome the month of “August” we better start off with recognizing a…

Held In Place

Do not let naysayers or well intentioned, but less “Becoming” individuals in your circles dissuade you. Do not deny the Truth, by listening to their fears or lack of understanding. Do not allow their emotional responses to rule your heart, mind and soul. 

It happens to everyone. There are times along our journey where we simply do not see movement. We may feel stuck, but we are being held in place, so we can be better prepared for our next step, our next realization. Here at “Becoming Today”  being held in place is all about timing. And keeping our timing in sync.The decisions, choices and options we have related to when things will occur and…

Strengthening Our Bouncebackability

That’s what I’m praying for. That together we can all resolve to pray for the peace and protection of God and the resilience to come together as we move forward along strengthening our "bouncebackability" a long our shared path we call “Becoming Today”.

Life throws a lot our way, wouldn’t you agree?  Sometimes it feels like we just keep getting knocked around, over and over again.. Have you ever wondered how some people seem to bounce back from challenges easier than others?  How are they able to build that inner strength, the kind that lets them weather any storm? Let’s talk about it, after all this seems to be the perfect time to discuss…

Backtracking

No two paths are exactly alike nor are they intended to be. Don’t compare yourself to others, rather simply seek to take each day one at a time and continue your journey along the way to “Becoming Today”, all you were created to be.

Imagine if you will, just for a moment that you are lost in a maze.  Sometimes, to find the right path, you might need to double back and re- explore a precious path along the way.  Backtracking, in this sense, means taking a temporary step backward in order to ultimately move forward in the right direction of our shared  journey we call “Becoming Today”.
