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:

lighting that first Advent Wreath candle of the year;

the #grateFULL relief of realizing Tom’s healing;

sharing a piece of Big W’s Tar Heel Pie (with real whipped cream) with two dear gal pals;

trusting my gut, in the world of ‘Finding the Right Doctor for Me’;

worshipping with a larger ranger of my community;

my first halotherapy treatment at Farmacy on Main;

lavender simple syrup;

stopping my car, while a heron crossed the road;

sharing in a Duluth, MN retreat with a friend;

snuggling with Bloss in front of our ‘Now Home’ candlelight fireplace;

swapping stories of Light;

the healing power of women joining forces to retreat together;

remembering The Most Important Thing is The Most Important Thing; and

why Advent is my favorite season of the year.

What NOWS did you experience or witness this week?
