Have you ever done everything you know to do and still found yourself mentally carrying what happens next? I have. I can think about something, pray about it, make a decision, take the action, and then somehow my mind still wants to stay on duty. 😄 What if this happens? What if they say that?

Not to avoid what is coming. But to prepare yourself for it. Before the Week Begins We often associate being

Over the past few days, we have been exploring awareness. First, our next breath. Then our ability to notice. Then the power of stillness. Today, I want to build on that journey with a simple but important reminder: Experience it before it becomes a memory. We spend much of our lives looking ahead. The next goal. The next deadline.
