Collard Greens and Black Eyed Peas on New Years Eve.  Had to do some research.  When combined it's supposed to invite good luck.  The greens represent money and the peas are said to be magical.  Hmm.  The optimistic pessimist in me sees the connection to money.  Both items like money shrink.  I was with my financial advisor yesterday.  He's very optimistic.  2022 is gonna have some tough moments but in the end there'll be reason to celebrate.  That being said.  Being on the frontline the words I keep hearing don't match last New Years Eve.  So many people were gung ho about partying 2021 into action.  I'm not hearing that about tonight.  Maybe it's the Omicron variant.  A guest last evening shouted, "I hope 2022 will be different."  My reply, "Only we can change it."  Are there enough Collard Greens and Black Eyed Peas to bring everyone good luck?  But is it about luck?  Cuz for the past 22 months I've invested everything into faith.

Is it the scent or the taste of coffee that invites peace to our soul?  Is it the doves singing softly in the background or my dog Jazzie sleeping next to me?  The daily goal is to recognize where peace is and grow from the moment.  Walking outside after a night or horrid storms all things are extremely wet and damaged and yet nature remains so peaceful.  The deer are dining acting as if nothing happened.  Locating what is peaceful without having to make it.  Take note of the solitude then participate with the universe.  Don't make today about you.  Make it a greater day because you chose to believe in the energy around you.

I've always been fascinated with the messages people pass forward.  We grow up thinking our parents are harsh by creating rules that were put out there to help protect us.  As we evolved into adult clothing those sharp words were actually very valuable.  How often do you turn around and thank the child you once were?  I wouldn't be celebrating 42 years of broadcasting if it wasn't for that five year old locked up in his bedroom gripping tightly to his radio dreams.  But one day, I'm going to have to turn and share the conversation.  To thank him then say, "It's over."  The same will be true with the writer in me.  That kid in the second grade that convinced Mrs. Keefe that he would be a better student if she allowed him time every day to write.  I continue to do so today.  Everyday!  What happens when I have to turn around to have that conversation?  You too!  Have you already had it?  Then it occurred to me on this podcast.  Is that what happens during the transition?  The seconds before your final breath.  You slowly turn and say, "Thank you."

What day is it? Not the date of the moment of writing this but when you are reading it. I've talked with hundreds of published authors about the origin of thought making its way to a bookstore release. What day is it when the reader discovers it? I feel we've wasted a lot of precious time since the start of the pandemic running around trying to catch up where we used to be. So much so that we've lost direction with the days of the week. It's going to be 2022 in four days! In March of 2020 they said it would take two years or more to heal from the pandemic. That fast! We're knocking on the door of 2022. What day is it? I'm extremely guilty of showing up just to be seen. I leave a lot without saying, "Goodbye." What day is it where you are? What took so long for us to meet?

A thought was given to me while in a moment of connection this new sun.  Wisdom works when it's applied.  No day or moment passes that we aren't given messages and or lessons.  Like when your smart phone sets free a popup that reads, "Currently offline."  Instantly that allows me to have enough open space to gut check my heart.  Am I offline?  Or how about the website that says, "Unable to connect?"  We've all been there!  How do you act and react to your real life situation when the connection to others has been interrupted?  Just like Alexa we take in so much information.  Except if she were to ask a question we'd have a difficult time instantly replying.  There are so many places that make sense but somehow it still leads us to asking questions.  The answers are always right there in front of us.

I've never seen the forest stress out over change.  The trees and tall grass treat it like a dance.  As humans, why are we challenged by our roots.  We consistently want to grow on the other side of the fence.  Challenged are the inner creations that influence the mental behaviors of a mild ride on a railroad of process and purpose.  When we are to be silent we find reason to locate an argument.  With changes come fight.  Learn from the limbs of a tall or small tree.  Mindfulness allows the changing of all seasons to move through you.  It's only one step on a very long journey.

Just got back from the doctor.  I've lost another inch in height!  No longer part of the six foot club.  This coming from one of the shortest kids in middle school who somehow stretched beyond six feet by the eleventh grade.  I've lost another inch to five foot eleven.  Was it the Covid 19 lockdown?  We walked but we didn't stretch.  We did a lot of television binge watching!  How many others have lost inches in height because of those long lockdown days and nights?

A silent page cannot shape an echo.  To succeed with that process a decision to be present must find fuel from a resource.  For the known source used to create a supply has elected to hide from a morning of writing.  A page isn't silent.  The artist is.  Enter self judgement, ridicule and the fear of looking at your eyes in the mirror.  It seems so easy to write yet it's the heaviest object you've ever picked up.
