DAY 3: A Breath of Good News
“Today, like every morning, my hit of “good news” via The Good News Network, arrived in my inbox. To start the day learning about and being exposed to positive actions, innovations and inspiring stories sets the tone of the day for me. The website, with its archive of 21,000 positive news stories from around the globe, confirms what people already know—that good news itself is not in short supply.”
31-Days of Joy & Laughter
“A couple of days ago I realized I no longer choose to have my attention taken by the fear, doom and gloom broadcast daily, whether on our smart phones news feed or while talking to others.

Nature’s Medicine
“Oom (uncle) Johannes is known by many names: herb doctor, healer, story teller, and teacher.

(John O’Donohue)”
Moving From Who We Have Been To Who We Have Become
“It was the elders who recognized the responsibility to share the fruits of their lives and experiences with the younger generations. It was in elderhood, as physical abilities weakened and day-to-day responsibilities lessened, that people could more strongly focus on their inner lives and on allowing Spirit to shine through, so that their biggest impact came more through the wholeness of their being than through the amount of their doing.”

Embodied Transparency
“Embodied transparency is learned through uncovering layers of self deception and carefully constructed identities that no longer serve us. When we are ready to create another layer, informed by all those below, we step over the threshold from a liminal creative in-between-space into surrender and trust. “

“None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.’ ~Henry David Thoreau The natural evolution of an embodied human is to change with each year we are here.
