Be

A Little Blue and Slightly Off Center

For the last few years I have noticed words showing up in my life to give me direction.  Last year it was the word “rest.”  The need for rest kept showing up over and over as I struggled to heed them rather than push through to the point of complete exhaustion.

This year the word that keeps showing up over and over is “be” — as opposed to “do.”  Brought up to believe we change the world by doing I am now learning that we really change the world by being.

So join me this month as we explore this little word, so packed full of meaning —

BE.
