March 12, 2025 Day 12 – Today, I reaped the benefits of my own changing landscape of the mind. Let me tell you about it! I was up and ready for my day and, each morning, I participate in a short meditation to set the tone. I have been consecutive with this for 303 days; the app tells me. Like money in the bank the more you have, or accumulate, the harder you work not to break the streak. My mother-in-law told me that once. When you begin to save money, watching it grow becomes important.
As I was looking for the app, my muscle memory touched the gmail app and it opened. There was an email there waiting for my reply. I opened it and read it and then started to type! NOOOOOOOOO – exclaimed my soul, spirit, heart or the great divine voice. Let it rest. Let it go! Stay the course to your 303 day! The wind is in your sails and your jib is taut, and it is taunt, teasing you to push forward.
I stopped typing, backspaced and deleted. I set the email to “unread” and closed the app. I then opened the meditation app and set to choosing who would guide me today. I was so happy. I was happy that I can now catch myself on the fly across this ocean of life. I was happy that in my sailing along, I can tack a little and yet stay on course.
Carol Orsborn writes (on page 17) of Older, Wiser, Fiercer, “When we are young, we need billowing sails because we have so many miles to go. I don’t need as much now – just as much as necessary. The slightest breeze can be more welcomed and appreciated in older age than the great blasts of energy we previously enjoyed.” The miles, (or in Canada kilometers), I needed to go in my youth or younger years were winds of stress, lack and personal interrogation. They were sent from a low pressure system that was lower than low, steeped in poor decisions and self-incrimination.
The winds of my life today are light breezes that come from love of self. Joy in family and are stemming from a high that can only be found through personal review of purpose and meaning.
Are your sails full?
Full of what?
Catch the breeze of self-care as the moon is full to capacity in the coming days. Heading to the light of the moon …. women ignite, grow and burn deep with from your heart centre.
