M told me an idea she had heard months ago. In a sermon. We are all trying to self improve, memorizing verses or adding things to do daily. This idea was great. Do-able. Fits in perfectly with our already filled up lives. And resonates to that part of me craving simplicity.
Think of one word. Have it be your word for a day, week, month.. how ever long you wish. Focus on it, chew on it, bring it to your thoughts.
There's a website, oneword.org, talking about this. You might get more info, or even a different spin if you go there. But I'm telling you what I thought I heard. (There's my story, your story, and the truth.)
Anyway, my word is OPEN. Open to new, to healthy, to people. Open to love and light and sunshine and kindness. Open hearted to love others. Open minded to adventures, trying new things. Open calendared to not being booked up each day, each hour. Open to the spirit moving me. Open to God's whisper. Open to be filled with joy.
Right away I got an adventure. I went to www.oneword.org, except I first tried www.oneword.com . HOW COOL! It is a website where they give you one word, you have 60 seconds to type on it. Then you get to see what others have done. Word changes every day. SO COOL..
Then I went to the correct website. Didn't do much for me. But being OPEN does. In this spirit, I ordered two new fruits I have never purchased before from my favorite online home delivery food coop in Orlando - a fuyu persimmon and a star fruit. Just made persimmon-date-walnut bars with lemon glaze. Wow, this being OPEN idea is delicious...
Gotta have fun guys. Everyday is a potential Best Day of my Life!
