Unwrap Your Gifts

What are you waiting for? You’ve received these gifts, so why just put them away in the closet without even opening them? More than likely you may not even realize that you have already received them. Yet there they are stored within ready to make your day easier and more profitable. Our conversation on this

Perhaps This Is Why?

It happens to everyone. There are times along our journey where we simply do not see movement. We may feel stuck, but we are being held in place, so we can be better prepared for our next step, our next realization. Here at “Becoming Today”  being held in place is all about timing. And keeping

Every Day

… is a promise. Every day is a gift. Every day holds the potential, to learn, to grow; to become amazed and blessed.  In fact every moment of every day is filled with limitless possibilities. And yes even the opportunity for ‘these’ to occur.  What are the ‘these’ I’m referring to? Let’s explore that, together

Maybe?

The word “maybe” often gets a bad rap.  It implies uncertainty, hesitation, or a lack of commitment. However what if we chose to reframe it?  As we begin May, the fifth month of this year of “4-All”, notice that it shares its name with “maybe”. A beautiful coincidence? Nah. Especially since there is no such

Reconciling Reconciliation

Does the word reconciliation scare you? Why?  Perhaps are you fearful you’ll face some sort of punishment, if you take an honest, intentional look at yourself? Our focus now is on resolving ourselves to accept the gift of reconciliation and all that empowers us to be and progress forward towards, together, step by step, on

UnMasking Arrogance

For me this is a very timely topic we need to discuss. Perhaps that is because as I write this paragraph at 11 am and already this morning I have had three encounters with these masked antagonists. They were not wearing strips of cloth across their eyes, and some may not even know what they

Per-Severing

I already see the flashing lights. The grammar police are ready to cite me. However I hope you can be a little more forgiving and accept that I have a reason for restructuring this word. I’ll explain in a moment, on this edition of “Becoming Today”. I’m feeling the need to talk about how to

Are You, Your Words?

Often along our shared path, we’ve dedicated more than a few words to expressing ourselves better, more concisely, aligned with our values, beliefs and true to the meanings we wish to convey. Now on this edition of “Becoming Today” we’ll talk about why your words need to come from a place of true authenticity. As

Becoming Together in Bouncebackability

Life throws a lot our way, wouldn’t you agree?  Sometimes it feels like we just keep getting knocked around, over and over again.. Have you ever wondered how some people seem to bounce back from challenges easier than others?  How are they able to build that inner strength, the kind that lets them weather any

Grounding Ourselves Today

While it’s something that we ought to be doing everyday, today I think it’s especially important to take some time and sink our roots deep into the earth. Reconnect mindfully with terra firma, to accept the accountability we all share for keeping our planet a viable, living, loving place. Let’s celebrate Earth Day together on

I Rolled Away The Stone

Yesterday I shared with you that I had entered the “Depths of Dormancy” and the fact that this  ‘Mama Bear’ was forced into hibernation. While I didn’t think I needed the rest, the cycles of life proved to me just  how necessary it was.  I had to admit this has been where I had been

Delivered From Dormancy

I have to admit this has been where I have been residing for the last few weeks, well actually all month long. The depths of dormancy overtook me as I found myself in a bit of a funk. A malaise. Sub-par; less than average. Not at all where I wanted to be. So on this

Reflections of Grace

Are you ready to let your light shine? Have you ever felt like you have something special to offer the world, but you’re not sure how to share it? Or maybe you dim your light to fit in or avoid attention. Letting your light shine isn’t about arrogant self-promotion; it’s about embracing your unique talents,

Reflections of Mercy

We continue this week by continuing in our ongoing discussion by revealing the next in our 8 Points of Light.  For me this has been a wonderfully blessed experience, which  I am truly glad to share. To this point and place in time we’ve touched upon more than half the flower, having discussed the petals

Reflections Of Love

Continuing to share the 8 Points of Light has been a wonderful experience for me, a blessing I am truly glad to share. So far we’ve touched upon half the circle , and have discussed the petals of Compassion, Dignity, Respect and Peace. Now it’s time to continue moving forward and upward as we turn

Reflections of Peace

As I shared last week  I don’t know what it is about this time of year, however I seem to be experiencing a need to re-express and reflect upon some foundational aspects of our walk today. So join us as we continue to be re-illuminating concepts that light the way here on our shared path

Reflections of Respecting All

Seeking enlightenment is essential to our journey here on “Becoming Today”. After all, what I’m sharing each day is aligned with “Becoming” as a noun: ‘’the process of coming to be something or of passing into a state”. Coming to be always, “Becoming”. Growing, developing and shifting into an attitude and daily practice of always,

Reflections of A Dignified Point

The weekend has come and we continue to move on as noted earlier this week, there are times when we seek to move forward that we must pause and reflect. To consider the lessons learned, the knowledge gained and wisdom shared. This is one of those times. While it seems like just yesterday, we began
