There is a good chance that you navigate life with a little more ease than I do. And there is equally a chance that you can totally relate to what I am about ready to share.
DRUM-ROLL PLEASE
Have you ever put off for tomorrow (or next week, next month, next year) what you can do today? I know I have! In fact, today I realized how out of control I have gotten. This isn’t a good thing. . . not at all.
Instead of taking time to lament about how guilty and dysfunctional I was feeling, I decided to simple start doing the next right thing. And the results have totally been impacting my afternoon in empowering ways. I am now feeling so much more positive about myself and hopefully making a difference too. Here are just a few things that I have done over the last few hours including:
- organized my magazines meant for vision board workshops. (Translation: Magazines are now out of the middle of my ‘Creativity Cave’ and put into new plastic bins.)
- called and scheduled giving Judaic ritual objects to three different families. I am still waiting to hear from about four other families. (I have a small nonprofit called Door l’Door which gives Judaic ritual objects to people who’s homes were devastated by natural disasters.)
- worked for about five hours for my job.
- started learning Yom Kippur’s Torah reading.
- put a new picture on my wall.
- connected with a close friend. . .it had been way too long.
- left a message for someone who wants me to share Door l’Door with a group of 30 people in the early winter.
- scheduled two phone meetings for tomorrow about Project Lifeline, an action that will hopefully help children being held in detention centers near McAllen, Texas.
- took a long walk even though I was expecting the skies to open up. AND they did!
- prepared three packages to be mailed in the morning.
Sometimes you have to one step and then another; once you start, you will find your rhythm. I am feeling so grateful because that is exactly what happened today.
Hineini, Here I am!!!
Onward with love, light, & action,
Chava
