The book is in process!! Here is the teaser: Be Peace for your own Interconnectedness. Be Peace such that you recognize interconnection within (sound intereseting??) and Be Peace FOR peace in terms of interconnecting with others outside of self all for the purposes of peace and peacefulness.
The journey is something you create for your own path to peace and peacefulness. For me, I started purging in 2018. I was not sure why but a few months ago I just started cleaning closets, the attic, drawers, the car... you name it! And, quite honestly a few people, but that is another post!
By the time 2019 rolled around (despite the crazy start that I wrote about earlier), I had nearly everything purged in terms of things (of course, the dreaded basement remains) and I had created a retreat day (every Friday). I was not quite sure where I would spend that retreat day when the answer appeared one day in the form of our Nature Center! I will be able to take walks in nature and spend quiet time in the library that is 90% windows looking out over the Nature Center!
I have cleared my calendar for daily spiritual practice that no matter what I try to make happen, always synchs up with the time I would meditate in India. So be it! And, I have blocked out time for my beloved warm water exercise at our gym.
Additionally, some of you know I am an Ayurvedic specialist and I am recommiting to that practice. It is hard for me to maintain when I travel so I am being very careful about travel this year! When I travel to DC every other week, I have ways of maintaining the practice.
I am saying NO a whole LOT this year! It will have nothing to do with you and all about me if you ask me to do something or go somewhere and I say no.
My"to-do" list is ONE PAGE for the entire year! And, it will likely be completed by next week. Again, due to 2018 preparation.
As I have been "being Peace" and preparing to take that to another level, "doing peace" started to emerge in amazing ways! More on that later but beautiful interconnectedness as brought about relationships that will take this peace leadership work to the elevation needed for today's world.
As I am writing this post, I am listening to Girish's Diamonds In The Sun. Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu: May all beings everywhere be happy and free! Happy 2019!!
