This month, I’ll be trotting down the lane of friendship. Wending my way through reflections about how this force in our lives is as essential as breath. Our dearest, long-term friends holding court for our unfolding, their presence as much a part of our soul-making as we are to ourselves.

As you know, I like to lay down tracks for a monthly focus, as much for myself as for you – loose, broad brushstrokes to help guide our daily doings as well as moments of mindful practice and prayer. As May was winding down, I didn’t feel a strong directive

AS WE ROLL FROM APRIL INTO MAY, IT FELT NATURAL TO PULL ON A THREAD THAT WAS PART OF OUR APRIL THEME OF CLEARING OUT: RETENTION. Because sometimes amidst the fervor of Clearing Out, the flush of liberation that often accompanies acts of release, letting go, dusting until everything sparkles

Following on our theme of Clearing Out for this month, let’s shift to the next stage in the process – actively working with the YES and NO piles that came from your Last Season’s Accumulations exercise. Thus far, the choices you’ve made are seated primarily in intention, not instant actuation.
