Idea of Things

Attached to the “Idea of Things” is the theme of my May 2021 newsletter message; here is some of the body of the message. Sign-up to receive future ones  ? ? ? Shifts and change are inevitable in life. Some of us manage change quite easily. For others of us, they throw us for a loop. Sometimes we are truly attached to what has been lost because it feeds our heart and soul, but at other times we are simply attached to the “idea of it.” Our daily habits, jobs, routines and schedules, family and friends time, as well as our passions, hobbies, and social activities bring us a sense of structure, balance, normalcy, and purpose. And our loved ones, passions, and social activities bring joy into our lives. These all work together to create a foundation that we stand on.

These can easily crumble. And then we feel lost. They may give us some sense of security and/or identity – at least for a while. However, outside influences we look to are fickle, undependable, and ever-changing. What’s liked, appropriate, acceptable, and approved changes like the wind. They cannot give us the lasting sense of security and well-being we can find from within. To connect to our internal sense of security and well-being, we must have a strong connection to our Source Creator. To our True Self. To Spirit.
