Remaking Your Own World
I have made my world and it is a much better world than I ever saw outside. ~ Louise Nevelson
It took 6 days to make the world. It will take a little longer to remake our own.
The Quaker tradition teaches us that Light is within each of us. The Quakers, or members of the Religious Society of Friends, are a perfect example of individuals who manage the delicate balance of living in the world but not belonging to it.
They believe that all of life's daily experiences are spiritual in nature, from preparing a family meal to protesting political policy. It is not cutting ourselves off from life but entering deeply and fully into it.
Simplicity is the common thread that stitches together Quaker lives, homes, dress.
Today's challenge: Restore a sense of rhythm to your life. Children are not the only ones that need regular bedtimes, mealtimes, and quiet times. Rhythm needs to be the cornerstone in our personal world. Learn where to draw the line and say "no."
Today's exercise: Write down 10 things you are grateful for in this moment.
