A Moment of Shhh


I’m just getting back from a little work/breakfast meeting. I’m so grateful to work with a small yet amazing group of beings. (Annatte, Digby, and Sam). I can’t imagine a better crew! Thank you for making my job not only easier, but joyful.

This morning before leaving my apartment I found myself getting a little irritated by e-mail from a vendor. Luckily I caught myself in the act and decided to take a moment of ‘Shh’ before heading out the door. It’s amazing how a little moment of silence can shift perspective. I didn’t want to take any of that original energy out into the world.

Oprah once said, “That even a moment of silence each day can change our lives.” I believe it! In those days when I make excuses or just simply forget to meditate, life feels different. It feels out of whack! When I meditate, my days feel better, lighter, and easier. In a moment of silence I reconnect to spirit, the universal life force within us all. It’s as if I’m living from a different place and I feel connected to everyone and everything. It’s beautiful.

In honor of Presidents Day, the piece here is titled, “I Like Your Cherry.” George Washington and a cherry tree inspire it. It’s meant to be a silly and a little dirty. Hint. Hint.

Mother Theresa once said, “We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.” I found her words to be beautiful. And though we may define God differently, the message remains the same.

May you all have a wonderful day and may the silence in your lives reflect the beauty of God surrounding us all. Cheers!
