A Recovering Magpie’s Grace
The grace I have received during my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge and the resulting peace, have been a joy. I did not expect this as I searched for simplicity and order. I did not even recognize it initially, as the chaos in my life and in my mind reigned supreme and had ALL my attention.
{Coming clean} Being still is what I seek, but rarely take time for.
My Summer Simplifying Challenge
I need quiet in some part of my day. I always have. My imagination is so active that thoughts/ideas/sparks are always flowing. I must be thoughtful to give myself time…time to meditate and be still in each day. I usually do this first thing in the morning upon rising. I love to take meditative walks after prayer.
My Summer Simplifying Challenge has cut into this time. I have added this to my morning activities as I am at my best early in the new day. I try to stay mindful during the unpacking and this is the rich fruit of the journey…adding the letting go to this ritual.
It may have been time to disrupt the ritual with the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge. I find that the blending of prayer, meditation, exercise and simplifying go hand in hand. Each has made the other more meaningful and each in enhanced by the addition of the challenge.
Sometimes you need to shake up the routine to grow.
