What Makes Your Heart Stir................



"Find the thing that stirs your heart and make room for it. Life is about the development of self to the point of unbridled joy."
~ Joan Chittister

There are so many benefits once you allow yourself to take the journey. Here's how I got started!

1. Acknowledge wanting to Connect With Your Life as a means of discovering what in fact makes your heart stir, what brings you joy!

2. Find your own way to relax.. meditation, yoga, focused breathing, whatever works best for you. With stress at a minimum you are more open to possibilities and discoveries. You are more connected!

3. Make it a priority to explore and discover interest options available to you. You know we can all carve a bit of time each week for something so important. It can be as easy as looking through magazines and online resources like here on wikiHow or how about free writing? (where you capture your aspirations without thinking too much.."spew" writing I like to call it) Allocate time each week and let the "stirring" begin!

Be open to many options, participate in your life and know that this is an evolving journey, and there can be joy all along the way.

Now please excuse me while I go check out a website regarding button collecting!
