what’s your calling?
April 16, 2011
There is something about being called…there is a uniqueness to it, that everyone has something, someone, something greater stirring, asking you to connect to something- the world, mankind or even just yourself. A kind woman named Erin from What’s Your Calling? asked if I would join a blog tour exploring the subject.
I probably should have said no, but now is not a “no” time for me in my life…even though I am maxed out, I knew that this one was for me, selfishly for me.
I poured over all the short films, how simple the call was for some, how deep and layered it was for others, how beautiful or even sadly it revealed itself, how amazing, how kind it was for me to feel like for just a few minutes, that so many people are living life in this space every day.
because for for me…
Every time I even think about my call….
I start to cry…
Because there are no words…
To really say how deep it goes…
How scary it is sometimes…
How big it feels…
How I know I must listen to it…
Follow it…
With all of my heart…
Because it is who I really am…
And I only know that everyday when I wake up I just have to answer it…and I can’t even tell you why or how, I just do. When I don’t, I’m just not okay…and sometimes I guess that is all part of the process, the way we are shaped, the way joy can eventually unfold, the reason we move forward, the path to hope.
The call to living Kindness has me, in all the best and worst ways…it has me.
What has you? What parts of the Calling are the most fascinating, hardest, bring the most joy to you? I’d love to hear…

thinking of you…

I had an epiphany this week, you know, the driving in your car, standing in the shower, of washing dishes variety. The best kind we pass over, blinded by their simplicity and yet they often carry the most power.
So it came to me that the three words thinking of you do wonders for me.
I have been thinking of you…
Can’t stop thinking of you…
I was thinking about your situation…
Any combination will do. It is this kind of simple love, when there is nothing to be fixed, or answers to be had, yet you or your problem has lingered past the initial exchange…
…or the joy of time being passed by some kind of intentional care and thought of you…it is being held somewhere…
this love speaks to me.
It seems like lots of those I hold dear are finding their way to a light, their drops of tears are sliding down everything cold, prickly, icing over…and the light glimmers still. Even in the harsh and bitter winter, I see your light
…and am thinking of you.
