In getting older (whatever that means) I have started to seek out and try to uncover my purpose and all that.

So I have read a new earth and some of the Tibetan book of living and dying (it’s very thick and a slow read for me) and yet I still slip back into old habits.  I sometimes yell at my 2 1/2 year old, even though intellectually I know I shouldn’t and more often than not I get caught up in what is going on with me and forget to focus on the needs of my partner.

At first I used to beat myself up about this stuff but more and more I am just trying to be aware of it.  So when I get frustrated (we have been working on potty training) sometimes I hear Eckhart’s voice saying be still like the ocean and other times… not so much.

I believe that the negative route is so easy sometimes and I am working on it a bit everyday.

Which leads me to share a great find with you… I heard about this site tonic.com that shares good news from around the world.

At the top of the page there are flashes of regular people’s hopes and I just thought that was so cool.  I am going to do this myself and every morning I am going to tweet about my hope for the day.  Hopefully this is just one small way I can try to keep myself going in the right direction.

Feel free to share what it is that you’re hopeful for?

Celebrating Life and Love,
