Thoughts from a Nurtured Heart . . .

Between Over and Next

12/31/2017

As I contemplate what’s over, 2017, and what’s next, 2018, I love the image of a hammock strung between over and next. That hammock is the present. I heard this idea on Oprah’s Super Soul podcast interview with Norman Lear. The hammock is a pause, a reeling into this moment and the choices I have right now between over and next. It can be a time to notice what is - birdsong, sunlight, shadows, clicks, whirrs, inhale, exhale, a return to my skin and sensations within, a moment of gratitude. This stretch between over and next can be an oasis of calm and stillness. Funny, while it can be a challenge to get in and out of a hammock, the time spent there is always refreshing.

PictureNHA Certification Intensive Madison, WI - July, 2017
​I am so grateful for Amy Schiefelbein and her courageous and intuitive leadership. With her encouragement, NHA trainers in her building have recently compiled a shared document in which they write about the strengths they see in each other. Reading this is a powerful way of soaking up energy, whether reading about yourself or another person. This document inspires greatness and will hopefully spark ideas to do something similar in your setting. Here’s a sneak peek: 2 pages of a 13 page document, more than a dozen contributors, celebrating 15 people. Thank you, Amy, for your trust, wisdom, and follow through!

Find and Spread Joy

I bump into the oval disk pictured here from time to time and am reminded of my students' mission to spread Joy. They decorated and hid these messages around the school and in their homes intent on sharing positivity. I hope others continue to uncover joy and slip it somewhere for friends, family and strangers to discover.

This also reminds me of the grandmother who found joy tucked in the mail after a long day. Despite the message to hide it for someone else, she kept JOY on her dresser so she could have it every day. She shared this story at a spring conference  assuring me that she posted pictures on Facebook to pass it on! This is the power of a small act. 

I'm so grateful for the time spent on this school project. Please find and spread joy in a way that works for you!

    The Thoughts from a Nurtured Heart blog includes ideas and perspectives encountered through intentional living. Posts include ideas that support NHA but are not necessarily explicit teachings of Howard Glasser. I've done my best to properly attribute ideas I borrow from others.
