For the next four days I will be writing in my journal as I sit by the ocean waters ... no cell phone, no computer, no technology ... just the wild ocean, rock hunting, prayer, meditation, and being mindful of life.

Thursday evening we sat around the dining table, listening to the crashing waves of the Pacfic Ocean and spoke of the spirals of consciousness ... an amazing tool to bring awareness, focus, and plenty of animated conversation!  The dining room filled with each of our quirks of control, power struggles, being right, wanting to be heard, wanting to defend, negotiate, and organize ... the crashing waves brought energy to the crashing egos and soon to the celebration of unity! 

Mindful conversations gave us an amazing statement ... woman choose to nourish, encourage, and sustain life.

Think about that ... choose to nourish, encourage, and sustain life!  Imagine how your life can transform with this simple statement ... nourish your body, mind, and spirit ... encourage your body, mind, and spirit ... sustain your body, mind, and spirit.  Life becomes powerful, courageous, present, and awakened.

Be mindful of how you nourish, encourage, and sustain your life with food, beverages, water, relationships, thoughts ...  what impact are you making upon those in your circle of influence? Are they listening?  Ignoring? Egos conflicting?

Remember, standing on your soap box may not be the best way to nourish, encourage, or sustain others ... be mindful of your personal actions and desire of results ... today may be the best day to simply be mindful of how you ebb and flow within yourself and your community.
