Hello friends, and welcome.

I hope you’ve had a great week so far. Today has been just wonderful. Every day, I am more thankful for my life and experiences.

My spiritual quest has been full of ups and downs as I’ve learned about things I should avoid, and things I should embrace. Lately, I’ve learned to savor every bit of it because it has helped me become who I am. I definitely have learned a lot of lessons along the way!

One of the things I’ve been practicing lately is presence. I’ve done this in the past, but not quite at the level I do now. I try to take everything in. I savor how items feel, and the sounds I hear as I go about my day. I pay attention to what surrounds me at a much deeper level. It has left me filled with wonder!

Each day feels so miraculous! I can hardly believe how wonderful life feels. I’ve let go of things that distract me from the greater good. I’m all about living a quiet, gentle life.

As I’ve progressed spiritually, I’ve been testing things. Were my past convictions real, or were they rooted in false teachings? By and large, I’ve discovered that I was on track when deciding to live a “quiet life, and work with my hands.” I’ve been testing my thoughts by noticing if they involve “I, me, or mine.” If they do, I know my ego is talking, and I shouldn’t listen to it. Instead, I hope to hear the still, small voice inside of me and do what it says.

Living this way is freeing. My conscience has come alive after I decided to live more quietly and in the present. I feel the need to do, or not do things on a much more regular basis. It is almost crazy when I think about it. But I get Divine nudges now all of the time, which is pretty cool.

Today might seem ordinary, but actually, it wasn’t. It was extraordinary! I felt cold air rush through my lungs and watched as frost sparkled while I passed by on my morning run. I felt dirt between my fingers while I re-covered tulip bulbs that were dug up by someone or something. I hugged my children and watched their eyes light up with smiles. I smelled dinner cooking and ate a small chocolate afterwards.

Miraculous things. Sacred things.

The everyday is sacred. Nobody can tell me otherwise.

Thank you stopping by, friends. May you see the sacred in your day, too!
