Hello beautiful human,
There is a lone sunflower blooming in my back yard. I planted the seeds over a year ago to no avail, then this singleton decided to sprout this year. Somehow it missed being nibbled by bugs or blown down by wind and it’s shining its light this morning.
It’s not in a place I can easily see from a window. I could have missed it. Imagine.
That leads to our Mission this week:
Look around
Secret gardens bloom among us, but we miss them when we get too stuck in our routines and responsibilities. Keep your eyes open today for the flowers in the cracked pavement, the ivy scaling a wall, the forgotten corners and rough spaces. Something is blooming somewhere close to your space that deserves notice. Something is blooming in your life that deserves notice and attention and maybe even gratitude.
Mission: Possible. But if you want the theme music from that other kind of mission to inspire you, here you go.
Don’t be afraid to go beyond the original Mission Possible. Follow your inclinations and inspirations and see what arises… Let the week take you playfully where it will, if you will.
Today’s invitation: If you don’t love my Mission Possible above, if you don’t feel inspired by it, there’s always the option to invent another one for yourself. Find some small step or act here at the start of the week that can take you just slightly outside of your usual rounds and routines. Follow your nose out into the day and through the hours and keep awake for the assignment. It might surpise you.
Looking to grow the connection and the energy? Here are some possibilities:
Your attention and time are the true gifts. Thank you. xoS
Love those surprise plants that wait a year or more to show up.
