Goodness

It’s just good when someone does something for someone else that helps them out.


I am in the experience of organizing for our Celebration of Light on December 20th. We are partnering with a local Anglican church.

It has been amazing to me to hear his love of the promise of people and not the judgements we so often hear as part of the religious fraternity.

It’s just a good thing to bring an evening of music and inspiration to people without any big sell or any other motive than to provide a place for us all to connect.

You know, I know we are all connected in some way. There is no doubt in my mind. The minister is so excited about providing this event to his members. He knows it is non secular. We are not there to preach the gospel or to have people feel that they must be saved in some way.

The intent with which one goes into the world is important.

Goodness is from intention. When you intend goodness them goodness shows up. The problem can be that people mistake your intentions and they make assumptions. If they don’t talk to you then the assumptions go unproven but are taken forward into the world as though they are true.

Such a shame that we live in ways that disconnects us and leaves us with assumptions about one another that may not be true.

The goodness of intention warms the heart. I know what we are doing is good. I feel it. I am immersed in the energy of it. I look forward to seeing all our friends and family at the event so we can share a warm moment. Connection between us at the heart is so important.

Where is the goodness in your life? Do you express it in service? It can be as simple as holding the door for someone. It’s all about your intention.

It occurs to me that on our death bed everything will become clear. In the last moments we will know were good, that we did good and that we deserved good from others. I doubt we will have judgements. Perhaps some regrets will show up but then it will be too late to do anything about them.

We live a short life. I am blessed to be part of goodness right now. It is a wonderful season for you to see where your goodness is too.

Lessons in the Writing Process

It has been a couple of weeks since I made a post. The time flys when you are busy. Yes, I have been writing almost every day except for weekends. Most weekends we are facilitating a seminar.
I am really enjoying writing what will be my first book. I get involved in the people I write about (cloaked in secrecy) and the process itself that I am attempting to explain.
I am learning about a deeper journey for myself. I hope you will follow along and add in your stories about life change. After all I think we are in this together.
This project for me is close to my heart. I have been in human resources for many years and have always felt that there was a better way to help employees when they were let go.
I intend to present a case for a new way for anyone to approach career transition. In the coming weeks you will get a taste of what I mean as I share some of my stories with you.
At the moment let me say it is about the heart and the head not just the head by itslef. It is also about the past, the present and the future.

The First Page

This is my first posting to my blog about my new book, Bringing your Passions to Life.
I thought it would be a good idea to get comments as I go and the book comes together over the next few months.
This book is about career transition. It's just that you may not have thought of your career in this way.
Rather than look at resumes or interview techniques, I decided to take career planning from a different perspective.
First, I believe that the stories of our life have affected the kinds of careers we have undertaken.
I also believe that we have a passion for aspects of life that we have forgotten.
So, the idea is to create a career from the things you are passionate about and if not them specifically, then to look at the essence of what you love.
I know the first thing people say is that the bills have to get paid. I think they can be paid and you can feel fulfilled at the same time!
