Dear Son, anywhere you want

Holy Family Church Orlando
For years we sat front row, left.

 

Yesterday morning i asked the 15- year old, “Where do you want to sit? We can sit anywhere.” Because we arrived 20 minutes early, our choices were endless.

He picked the very last row.

International Graphic Designer on your team?

The check arrives this morning from Canada (lower left corner). The engagement is later this month.

 

Met with my International Graphic Designer for lunch yesterday. It was great to catch up face-to-face. Imagine having someone with seven years of full-time International reach with their graphic design work, but they are unable to share their work with prospective clients because they were a contracted employee – for one of the world’s most admired companies.

i asked her how many of her clients pay her in advance.

“None, you’re the only one”, she said.

Insight: If i always expect to get paid in advance, why would i not do the same for the people i hire?

If you want blessings, give blessings freely.

It’s good (midlife) karma.

Why do some pray and some don’t?

Magic happens when some things are connected to make one.

 

Why do some pray and some don’t?

Why do some thrive and some don’t?

Why do some exercise and some don’t?

Is there a correlation or not?

Find a different spiritual lane

Yesterday afternoon, iPhone 6 still on the pool bottom.

 

 

(If you are already vibrantly loving, you can skip this post.)

Find a different spiritual lane.

Follow one of the three large groups of people.

  1. Zealots
  2. Luke warm
  3. Non-believers

Or…

Find your own lane to create peace and contentment.

Peace with who you are.

Content with what you have.

Are you unwilling to be comfortable?

Yesterday was the first time i’ve ever seen a vulture rummaging through trash. Not part of the natural ecosystem.

 

Are you unwilling to be comfortable?

To feel comfortable we are steadfastly moving from selfish to selfless.

To feel comfortable we are living without the desire for material possessions.

To feel comfortable that our peace and contentment is our driving ambition.

To know that we are loved.

To be comfortable loving without expectation.

Am i unwilling or willing?

Totally willing.

You?
