The last few months have been a bit of a whirlwind filled with all new and exciting opportunities.
During these last four weeks I have been in three states... New York, South Dakota and Georgia and went to each state with an open heart for adventure and that is what I found.
Do you set your intention to have an open heart? Do you open yourself to all possibilities?
This quote from Leo Buscaglia is a reminder to me of how you can "hold yourself open to life"
"I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind."
So, when was the last time you played in the leaves? Or perhaps you have been complaining about raking them instead? Or when was the last time you skipped? My daughter, Grace and I just skipped into the grocery store on Sunday, we did get some looks but I really didn't care.
Holding your heart open is a matter of making a decision to do so? The practice of being open can be a challenge when life is thrown at you. How about this? For today why don't you begin with checking in on the state of your heart and decide for today that you will remain open to all possibilities that come your way.
Maybe a different seat at lunch to connect with someone you normally don't, or perhaps it is extending yourself to a grieving family member, or perhaps it is just taking a walk and seeing what you notice?
Try something out of the ordinary and possibilities open up!
Blessings, Kristen
