There are times in our lives where events, that are often traumatic, lead us to want to “wrap things up” and put a bow on them. Senseless deaths or murders, such as school shootings or other acts of violence leave us grasping for understanding. Yesterday, I was almost involved in an accident in which there was a fatality. Hours after the Adrenalin wore off, I sat in silence as the various images raced through my mind. The speed at which the images flashed began to crescendo, and it was then that I realized that this was not my mystery to solve. It is not my place to make sense of it all. Instead, it is my place to do what I can to help others out. It is my place to be the best I can be in these situations that test my faith. My “small mind” cannot grasp the big picture here (nor anywhere, it seems). This realization has lead me to re-examine how I am living my own life. I’m asking myself: where am I unhappy? Where do I need to shift my focus to allow more joy? Where do I take life (way, way, way) too seriously? With these new thoughts in mind, I am beginning to mentally redesign how I view my life: it’s time to really appreciate all that I do have and to laugh more. A lot more. May you be well. May you find more joy today in the simple things. Namaste
Making Sense of it All

Writing out my thoughts has helped me to gain a new perspective of myself. In sharing these writings, it is my hope to help others to better understand themselves. It is my belief that with each of us who chooses this path of greater understanding of thy self, that it inspires others to do the same. This building momentum is the force that drives me to share, for in my vulnerability, I find my strength. I believe that you can also find yours there. ~~~In reading some of my posts, you will see that growth is not always pretty. It is in breaking apart and coming undone that a seed sprouts and breaks free of its own captivity. It is also out of mud that the lotus blossoms. ~~~Please join me in seeing the beauty of growth within the deconstruction of our limiting beliefs. ~~T.C. View more posts
So true I tend to make a drama out of things I am noticing it more and more lately where as a light loving approach would be so much better. I got this lesson too over the past two days, so relate to this.

Those moments make us realise that we hold many things that in truth are not so important. And also allows a shift within to realign and balance to make clearer steps on our path. Glad you are safe kind lady ❤

Wonderful, I love the slice my “small mind” cannot grasp the big picture…As you suggest though we can make ourselves available to come to the aid of those in need and thereby are healed or at the very least start to be

I can remember thinking along similar lines not to long ago. In fact I remember my kids saying “mum, you take things way too seriously”. These days I try to lighten up but I understand what you’re saying. It’s not always easy. Glad you’re okay Tiffany. xo

Yes, I’ve lightened up over the years and now I see more ways in which to allow more… in some areas at least, letting go in others ❤️
