Life can sure jiggle us around in ways we don’t always expect or appreciate. But the beauty in the quiet of the early morning even before the sun rises honestly can’t be beat. The best part, after hopefully a good night’s sleep, is the quiet of the morning lets us get into our head and heart before the rest of the world gets ahold of us.

Remember it doesn’t take much time to reach out to someone in your life who makes your life better with a simple thank you or acknowledgement for something they have done not only for you but the world at large.

I am back! Not that I went anywhere, only in my mind. Over the course of the past several weeks I did that necessary thing to keep ones’ sanity, I unplugged. I stepped away from the chatter of the world, from technology, to be just in my world. And I do believe I recovered some brain cells in the process.

Have you ever noticed that when we run out of something to say, or can’t figure out how to get from one topic to another instead of saying um or stumbling on words we can tend to say, the word “anyway.” As the word tends to automatically comes out of our mouths as our voices trail off in thought.

Getting present in the action items we take on can sometimes require a readjustment rather than just checking off the proverbial to do list.

This week’s 4-minute meditation is about readjusting your focus on the present, Feel the Power of Now.

I hope that this Tuesday morning finds you in a good place mentally and physically. A place that fills you with some joy and curiosity as you progress through the second day of your week as well as those days that remain ahead.

This morning, I woke up to a rainbow as I walked around my property amazed at the beauty of the sunrise to the east and this rare rainbow in the southwest horizon that turned into a double rainbow. A great way to start the day and week. How is your week starting so far?

As we head back into life that is perhaps less fun filled, many things can knock us off our feet when we least expect it. Someone says something you weren’t expecting. You get charged extra for something you weren’t expecting. The government does something you weren’t expecting, and the list goes on and on.

Today’s meditation taps into your Inner Girl something I realized needs to be foremost in my book. And for you guys on my list, all is not lost, you could actually tap into your feminine side or send this on to an important woman in your life.

Well indeed I did do it! It has been over 10 years since I wrote my last book and on Friday I finished the first complete draft of my new book, Good Dirt.
