Inner Peace Comes From Finishing What You Started
The following is an email I received this morning. (I always wondered who sits around and writes these things). It goes like this:
I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr. Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished."
So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos and a box of chocolates.
You have no idea how freaking good I feel. Please pass this on to those who you think might be in need of inner peace.

When I took stock of my life and my cupboards I was reminded that being prepared is not just about all the "stuff" that one may need, but the state of mind one is in. While this isn't news, it's easy to get caught up in the 'have to get' part, forgetting about the 'being' part, which is first and foremost.
We have the most extraordinary opportunity to see what we're really made of, what we're really capable of. We have been blessed with profound teachings and a love so grand and unfathomable-these will be the fertile ground and precious water for the seeds of our future. We are preparing for the unknown, in a greater way than we ever thought. This truly inspires me.
While I'm not an expert, I do have a very inquisitive mind, and a deep commitment to the Great Work. It is not my intention to repeat what others are already doing, but it's my frequency specific that will pull a thread through what's already out there, weaving it all together. I chose to share my journey in this blog format so that others may benefit from what I uncover along the way, both from a practical as well as inspirational perspective.
There are so many wise and wonderful voices out there, rich from life experience, experts in different areas, passionate about many things. I want to draw upon the gifts of our community both near and far, to educate, inspire, and support each other in our efforts.
As I evolve so will this blog, in form and content. Visit often. I welcome your feedback, ideas, wisdom and humor. We're all in this together.
May we be inspired and motivated to our greatness. It's time.
