My word for 2018 is focus, which requires paying attention to the moment – the now. So, this year, I’ll be taking note of experiences I may have missed, without focus. Many may seem to be BGO’s (blinding glimpses of the obvious), but hey, I might have missed them.

Here’s this week of NOWS:

Jamie’s quilt;

Holly’s smile;

John 3:16;

meeting Tim and Drake, again, for the first time;

Madeleine L’Engle;

crab cakes with Tom;

hoping a soul sis will just.let.it.go;

how Bloss, who turned 15 last week, now curls-up precisely.beside.me before she falls asleep;

falling asleep to the scent of lavender and the sound of rain;

sacred storytelling and storylistening;

Mary Oliver;

an amazingly generous gift from beloveds;

a perfect eggroll;

a lofty adventure with a soul sister;

laughing ’til i cry with lifetime pals;

Beautiful; and

beyond sacred time with a BFF sister.from.another.mother.

What nows did you experience this week?
