In last week's e-notes, I invited you to share some of the pieces of wisdom that have helped shape your life.  Several of you wrote back.  Here is some of the wisdom you shared:

·         "I'm always reminded of what my grandmother used to say:  "The Lord himself couldn't please everybody, so why do you think you can?"

·         "I have learned there is a huge difference in what my wants and needs are."

·         "In life, things don't always happen for a reason, but we can find reason in all that happens. I can't believe that tragedies, and even some good stuff, are pre-ordained. It happens; sometimes it stinks. Sometimes "stink" is too gentle of a word. But not to grow from tragedy makes it a double tragedy. We can learn to see the world from a new perspective. No, life can never be the same. But sometimes, you wouldn't want it to anyway."

Thanks for these and I hope the rest of you are inspired to share some of your wisdom!

Last week, I shared some wisdom that has help shape my and life and illuminate my journey.  In a recent conversation, I came across another piece of such wisdom.  In my experience, there are times we become so self-centered in pursuit of our life goals and direction that we actually lose track of who we are and where we're going!  Those are times when it helps to become more centered in self, more grounded and in touch with the deep wisdom that is inside each of us.  When we are centered in ourselves, we are free to see others for who they are rather than what we need them to be.  We are free to be who we are rather than what we think others expect us to be.  In this freedom, there is deep wisdom and a deep sense of the Spirit for our lives.

Thanks for continuing to bless me as we journey together.
