Each week I wonder what will the next challenge be… I don’t usually plan ahead, because I find that each week, each day, heck! Each hour ~ I am being inspired and challenged and given opportunities of things to share with you. So last night, as I was listening to my ipod on the way to pick up my son, the word of the week came to me.
…LISTEN…
Being a somewhat outgoing, crazy, busy mom/wife/woman/friend/coworker etc. the “noise” around me gets so loud. Sometimes life is just so dang noisy. Not to mention all of the shouting that goes on inside my head “why did you do this?” “why didn’t you do this” “do you think that was ok” blah blah blah.
Well after a loooooong week last week, I decided to shut it all down and LISTEN. This week I am not going to listen to the chatter in my head, but I am going to listen to my heart. To my soul. To my spirit. I am going to listen for love. I am going to listen for acceptance. I am going to listen for kindness.
And I challenge YOU to do the same. LISTEN to all that is trying to silently speak to you. Throughout the week I will update this challenge with specific mini-challenges within the idea of LISTENing. But to get us started. It’s that simple. Slow down and LISTEN to what your life is trying to tell you, show you, bless you with.
