Bordering On Magnificent MOVEMENT

Are you constantly moving???
Are you always going places but not quite getting somewhere?
Some jobs entail moving or driving or traveling.
Even the job of being a mom has a lot to do with
being everywhere at once.

A really great way to move is Bike Riding.

Riding a bicycle in one direction,
ending up somewhere,
and turning around and riding straight back.
over and over
every day,
is a good way to break the flow of "running around"

By doing this,
you can get used to looking for the bumps in the road,
as well as observing the same scenery change every day.

You will begin to build up momentum and endurance each day,
and you may even begin to SWEAT!

(see prior posts about enjoying and celebrating SWEAT)

I know that "Running around in circles" as many people I have met call it...
gives about the same results in life as "Spinning our wheels".

I have personally seen the results of riding for endurance and speed,
and gradually beating my own best time, each time.
I believe this is worth getting up early for...
before the traffic clogs the roads...
and before others get in their cars
and begin "Spinning their Wheels"...

I recommend using a a walkman,
(ooops!!! I meant an MP3 player or IPOD I guess
I still remember cassette players)

Anyway... bring along some music that supports your goals and dreams,
even if it is the same songs every day!

I am getting back into this practice of riding in a straight line,
early in the morning,
for endurance and speed and conditioning my physical body
to run a clearly defined race
instead of just
"Running to the buffet to get another plate of crazy"

"For the next 3 to 5 business days"
ROCK THE SPACE YOU'RE IN by
Moving With Purpose!
And let me know what this
"Empty Box Time" does for you!

Love and Peace of Mind,
Delight and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,

Bordering on Magnificent LIGHT

Who is it that makes your eyes light up??????????

Have you ever had someone's eyes "Light Up"
when YOU walked into a room???

Some People say that this is a universal experience needed for the very HEALTH of kids
and really all human beings

YESTERDAY at the day job,
I witnessed the mom of a new born (actually a 3 month old)

Looking at her son,
and smiling at him,

and talking to him,
and in a day and age where many moms are content
to plunk a dvd player in front of the face
of a child
who is facing "away from them" in a stroller....
. . .THIS MOM...was ENGAGED with her baby!!!

She was letting him know his "SPACE IN THIS WORLD"

And by choosing to interact with him
in such an animated and loving way,
she is affirming that he is HUGE in HER world...
AND in THIS world!

He is SEEING and HEARING from this awesome mom,
that he is
LOVED
VALUABLE
WORTHWHILE
and NOT ALONE!

Eye contact is essential to growing a relationship.

Today...
Rock The Space You're In

by making eye contact
with
Your friends
your family
your kids
and yes even your clients and customers
.

See if it makes a difference,
and then tell me about it!


Love and Peace of Mind,
Delight and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,
