3 Minute Retreat - Imagine

We walk through this life with question, doubt, worry and stress often forgetting that our journey begins and ends with ourselves.

Is there something you want for your life that fear holds you back from walking towards?

Do you think that it is an impossible feat and only list off all the obstacles and reasons why it won't work out?

Imagine a life you want to live, then make it happen!

​Your life is in your hands....imagine.

3 Minute Retreat - Welcome

5/6/2022

Beautiful wooden door
It is such a simple little word. A word that brings many emotions to a person.

We live in a world where sadly more people do not feel welcome than the ones that do.

Do you recall a time when you did not feel welcome?

How did it make you feel to be alone and just want so much for someone to reach out?

Welcome in Church. Welcome in family. Welcome in social scenes. Welcome in one's heart.

While I don't think others purposefully dismiss those around them, it is easy to forget to extend the simple kindness of a gesture, a word, an invitation to be present with another.

Just for today; stop in your day and take notice.
As dire as a homeless person feeling a welcome smile, to someone within your work day whom you normally see sitting alone needing company.
Just stop and be present today.
​Welcome someone in...

3 Minute Retreat - Mercy

Mercy: compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone. 
I thought I could touch on some aspects of the true action which Mercy asks of us.

We are often being called to let go of wounded pasts, give kindness to the stranger next to us, and truly share of our spiritual journey with those walking on the road.


How often at those times are we too busy to recognize mercy?


Every day there are people in the world needing compassion; every day those same people are often alone and isolated.


Can you turn to the person next to you who may be struggling on their own journey and offer mercy freely without judgement?
​


Why is it so hard to accept others and more importantly yourself for who you are and where you are in your life?

Take a moment to reflect on how you can be Mercy?

Today I challenge you to take a step outside of your comfort zone. 

Today I challenge you go embrace nature in a way you may have never considered.

Meditate at the ocean with the crashing waves in the background speaking to you in ways you have never heard before.

Walk along a solitary nature trail listening to the rustling of the leaves, the birds singing in the trees and know earth is speaking to you.

Take a moment to listen in nature today.
Pray in nature today.
Breathe in and give thanks for the beauty that is given to us each day.

3 Minute Retreat - Journaling

4/15/2022

Journal

When some hear the word ‘journal’ the eyes role, the dread mounts their minds, and the questions of ‘why’ flow like a river.

Journaling is not an easy task for most and for those who do it easily will tell you they still have to make a time plan in order to make it happen.
​
I have started more journals in my life time than I can count, but I also filled just as many.​

Some I burned in a ritual ceremony as a rite of passage for my self-preservation at the time, others I scanned onto my computer for future reflections and then special entries made their way into two books I am writing in order to share the gifts I learned and was given in life through such experiences.
​

I am grateful for having taken the time write my story down, for reflecting on life that has past which allowed me to learn, if I hadn’t already, the lessons from the experiences which at the time felt like their suffocation was something I would never survive.

Today, step out of your comfort zone. Buy a notebook. Grab a cup of tea or coffee and find the perfect spot that brings you peace. Put a pen in your hand…and write. Don’t think, don’t stop, don’t question…just write.
​
Your story is waiting to be heard today.
