What is Your Work?

“My work is to love the world.”  ~ Mary Oliver

What a wonderful personal mission statement for one's time on this earth.  I started to think about what that might look like . . . feel like . . . become.  Imagine from dawn to dusk your energy, talents, and ideas used to love the world.

As we round out this month of love, I invite you to join me in this exercise just for fun.

What are the most urgent needs of the world you would like to focus on?

If you could create the exact role for yourself, what would be the most fulfilling ways you could spend your time loving the world?

What talents do you have to share that would be a gift?

What circles of wise, innovative and creative people would you like to join, to learn from, and to contribute to in shaping your work?

If you could deliver a message and know it would be heard, who would you say it to, and what would it be?

Imagine the world receiving all of your love work.  

Let it motivate, inspire, and energize you.

And then ask yourself one more question . . .

What are small ways I can love the world just a little every day? 

Blessings,
Amy

Who Really Knows You?

What does it feel like to be really known?

This week I had the blessing of time with a friend I see only once a year.  It’s one of the most important few hours of my year, because my soul opens, is held, and is fed.

There is very little in life that feels better than being known. To me, it means having a connection with someone who:
    Invites me to put my deepest self into words,
    Holds my vulnerability with love,
    Is able to feel my emotions as their own,
    Gives me insights into myself,
    Inspires me to continue to unfold, when I feel like shrinking,
    Helps me see my blind spots, ever so gently,
    Fuels me with a fresh belief in myself,
    Being known is being loved. 

Who brings you energy?  Who helps you breathe more deeply?  Who opens your heart?

Take a moment to feel this blessing.

And then let them know the depth of their gift.

    Becoming
    This blog is an invitation to stop.  Breathe.  And tap into the part of you that craves more space, inspiration, and nurturing.  It captures the writings from my Delight for the Soul Newsletter.  They are personal moments of reflection, inspiration, and questioning that focus on Being rather than Doing.  It's a direction we are all invited to go in, as we live deeply and do less.  The more we focus on being, the more delighted we become . . . and the more becoming we are.
