Tsunami Mommi

On March 10 I woke to a 7am phone call from a friend telling me about the impending tsunami.

I got up immediately, determined to face the tidal wave fully caffeinated in a comfy outfit and sturdy shoes. As I looked around my cabin, wondering what to take in the event of an evacuation - either that morning - or in the frightening future, I realized I stopped breathing. And when that happens, I stop.

I sat in my chair, closed my eyes and connected to that calm place inside. I knew I was going to be safe, that I didn't need to change out of my jammies and that having accurate information so I could call two friends was the order of the day.

After three hours and copious amounts of Earl Grey, I heard this snippet of insight on one of the broadcasts:

the force of a tsunami is powerful, focused and intense energy.

Ah. Fear. I was focused on the wrong thing.

I decided to take my internal tsunami and focus it on one of my creative projects with intention, not action and VOILA!

Miraculous, energetic movement towards the next logical step.

What are you focused on today?
