Listen with Intent – Week 45

For this week’s intention I decided to go with support. I believe a big part of being kind is being supportive, allowing others to be who they are and supporting them instead of listening with any agenda of my own. To me, this means asking questions, being positive, and genuinely listening.

Here’s the pin where I got the lettering..

Listen with Intent – Week 44

A new month is a new intention, for November I picked Listen Kindly. I want to focus on kindness. I think, at the end of the day, kindness is all that matters. And I am always working to be kinder, more patient, gentler with myself and with others. With my husband. With my kids. This feels like one of those things I will never fully achieve. Something I could always be working on. And I guess this month is as good a start as any. Here’s to some kind listening in November!

Remember This – Week 40

Life Book week 36 was an assignment from Tam. It was all about intuition and just doing what came naturally to you. As I listened to Tam’s meditation, I kept seeing balloons. I kept seeing them let go. So I decided to write “brave” and then have it look like the balloons were cut to go free.

It says: it is time to be brave and release: let it go.

it’s really shimmery:

Listen with Intent – Week 43

For this week, I picked deliberate. To be careful and aware, I need to be more deliberate. I need to be deliberate about what I am listening to and what I am not listening to. I need to be deliberate about what’s being said and not being said and listen to all the layers in a conversation. I want to be this way all the time to be honest. If I were more deliberate, I would be so much more articulate and a more powerful listener.

Listen with Intent – Week 42

For this week, I picked alert. To be careful and aware, I need to be alert. I need to pay attention. I can’t multi-task. I can’t be paying attention to something else. I can’t listen half-heartedly. I need to really be there, be present, be on. Here’s to being really alert all week.

Listen with Intent – Week 41

For this week, I picked beginner. As in beginner’s mind. Approaching everything as if for the first time. As if I have no idea what they mean. Hearing things for the first time. Listening with a new fresh attitude. No preconceived ideas. No premade conclusions. Being open and new. A beginner.

Remember This – Week 39

Life Book week 32 was an assignment from Micki Wilde. I had never drawn one of her girls before and I think I need a lot more practice but I still like what I ended up with. She’s giving love out to everyone.

It says: give all of you and ask for nothing in return.

I will say, I believe this wholeheartedly.
