Audio-#5 Story from the car- Moment

May 9, 2020

These are the days. 

I listen to people. 

I listen to spaces. 

I listen to spaces between people. 

I listen to spaces between words. 

I listen for impact. 

I listen for guidance. 

I listen to what you are saying but isn’t on the surface yet. 

Today I want to talk about the word Moment. And words are powerful things. Words are condensed experiences, meanings, thoughts, and vibration, all of it. 

All of it. 

All wrapped up into letters. 

The letters we are jumping into today is: moment, because these are the moments. 

We are in dense times. 

Thick times. 

There is actually nowhere to run.

There is really nowhere for the thoughts in our head to run.

We are spending more time alone.

Audio- #3 Story from the car- Value

April 24, 2020

These stories from the car are a listening in to one particular word we really want to dive into and today the word is VALUE.

Truthfully, I get hits on things when a word just rumbles in and doesn’t want to leave me.

So this word of value is what I invite us into today.

Even as I say value, it seems kind of mundane. Kind of boring. I have this box of chicken strips and two tubes of ground beef in the back of my car, and I am fortunate enough during this pandemic that the local pub has agreed to place orders on behalf of us islanders to offset the pressure on the general store, but also to keep us from having to go into the city to shop.

That is value. 

But I’m also a single mom to three kids and I need to get value for my money. That’s a different kind of value. But it’s always an in and an out. Isn’t it? 

Or is it?
