Begin


Start something.  Put one foot in front of the other and inch forward ever so slightly.  Show Up.  Say "hello" and begin a conversation.  Ask "says who" and begin a revolution.  Write one sentaence and begin your novel.  Begin again, this time in a different key, at a different tempy.  Begin putting yourself first.  Begin enjoying it.  Begin an intentional community of that's how you want to live.  Begin a reading group and focus on women who made bold new beginnings.  Begin a new way of eating, a new way of moving, a new way of getting your needs met.  Begin as soon as you finish reading this page.  Begin at the beginning and don't even think about where it will take you. 


Now begin.

Love it!! Ironically, DH and I were just talking last night about 'what I want to do when I grow up' and I've decided to try making a go of my quilting. I've already got the fabric and the design in mind, and had planned to begin a new quilt today. Synchronicity at its best huh? ;-)

"Begin at the beginning and don't even think about where it will take you. "

This is so true! ;) I have "begun at the beginning" in many venues, many spiritual ways, in my life. Start from scratch, study, learn, DO! It's about being OPEN, I think, to life and spirit and all of it. A good philosophy. Trust the outcome when you follow your inner guidance. ;) Anna
