Dreaming into existence

I’m so excited to share that another person from my past writing seminar participants has published a book! Evan Hanson has written and published Hoog: Hunter, Explorer, Peace Maker. It is a historical fiction tale of a boy in a Stone Age clan, and takes place in the Ohio River Basin during 198 B.C. You can find this intriguing tale on Amazon in both print and eBook versions. I have only just begun to read my copy (I have them in both formats, so that I can continue reading under the covers in the dark!), and I am already drawn in by the characters. I know various people in my life that have similar personalities (myself included!), and can’t help but to identify. It’s fun to see the characters in my life juxtaposed in Evan’s setting. And it’s fun to see Evan’s characters juxtaposed in my present-day life. I can’t wait to pick up Hoog’s adventure where I left off, later tonight!

For those of us who are going along nicely and then find ourselves experiencing, “What just happened here?!?”, I offer comfort in community. We are not alone. And we are, actually, right on track. Because Life is not supposed to be the straight line that it isn’t, anyway.
Today we have a guest author — Todd, Founder of Dry Farm Wines. This comes from the company’s latest newsletter, and is shared here with permission. Salud!

(A pause, while I consider where my attention has been — of late, today, and in this very moment.)
And I intentionally choose, now.

Our resting set point for our spirits is actually at “lifted.” This is our natural state, not something to have to strive for. And yet, sometimes I need a reminder that this is so. Here’s a short list of just some of the things in my life that help me to remember:

The vacuum filter that I cleaned isn’t dry yet, so the vacuum cleaner won’t work; I can’t clean up the tracked-in sand.
Both of us are drawing a blank as far as meals to plan this week; I can’t make an effective grocery list.
The webinar recording isn’t loading this evening; I can’t watch that professional development piece.
It feels like all the things are thwarting me, at the end of this full day. I can’t seem to do any of the last of my tasks, and I am getting spun up in the frustration. Am I the only one who experiences this? Surely not…
Nothing is working for me. Apparently, I’m supposed to rest right now.
OH.
Oh.
Ohhhh….
