Welcome to this week's tips
Hi Everyone,
The week started with a trip to the other side of the state for my great-aunt's birthday. That entire generation of siblings has now passed. What do we want the generations behind us to think is important? What are we passing on?
Lent begins Feb 26th. I created a Simplifying for Lent Guide.
I’ve always loved the season of lent. It’s a more reflective time of year that reminds us to concentrate on living differently. Lent invites us to slow down and to release things that are holding us back from a spiritual, conscious life.
Most of us are living lives with too much speed. We have so many choices, many which pull us away from our center and spirituality. We get caught up in drama and try to hide emptiness and feelings under over-eating, the internet, TV, or busyness.
Lent is the 40 days before Easter, (excluding Sundays). It is a beautiful time to return to our spiritual life and re-focus our lives.
For 40 days I have ideas, questions and inspiration to live a simpler, more intentional and more reflective life.
This week has been super cold here in Michigan at 7 degrees, though not as cold as Minnesota I've been told :) I was getting my haircut near Lake Michigan and was driving through lake effect snow. I stopped in a parking lot to capture the snowy trees on my phone which had been delighting me.
