Tornadoes & Considerations
This has been an exciting week in southwestern Ontario. It all started on Sunday with a devastating tornado touching down in beautiful, small town Goderich. (Google it for all the info.) Followed by the rumblings of an earthquake on Tuesday and by Wednesday we had our own tornado warning for this very city.
Change is in the air; it always is. Sometimes we need a bigger shake up to resettle and recalibrate. I don’t recall as much Shake, Rattle or Roll from Mother Earth…but maybe I’m just paying a little more attention to her. Maybe this week’s rumble is helping let walls fall, so we can really see, experience and support what matters most: us.
I’ve had my own changes this week and a lot of them were mental. No, I don’t think I’m going crazy-mental. At least no one is telling me any different! I’m recognizing the effects of earlier this year and the action I took afterward. So I’m on the other side of these changes and assessing where I feel right as rain and others I wonder where I could still do better. Ha…always with the improvement this one!
Early this week in my evening mental lounging, I put a drop in what I hope will be my manifesto:
I value our RESPONSE-ABILITY
to LOVE, RESPECT, ACCEPT
in FREEDOM
…every day, in every way.
So I’ve decided that whether this value is delivered through a cup of coffee or goofing around making lattes; or supporting businesses in the structure of their companies and interactions with their customers; it’s all good. It’s not always easy but it’s worth it.
And I make a difference every day. So do you.
