Today is one of those days I felt like creating order in my life. I balanced my checkbook, cleaned and cleared my desk. Who knows, I might even decide to dust them all. It is feeling like fall in the air and I think the change of the seasons inspires us to update our focus. What do I need to prepare? My husband loves my beef stew cooked in apple juice. Perfect time to make a big pot. As I move forward into new creations, I complete the summer’s projects. I have no clue what the next journey is bringing but at least I won’t have a lot of left-over energies staring at me. It is like releasing all of the old energies of the summer and getting ready for the new. If you always hang onto the past, your energy gets all tied up and scattered between that which was and that which is not yet in form. How can you be ready for the future if you are hanging on to old things that are over and finished? You don’t have to finish everything. Sometimes you can evaluate what you have received from a project or friendship and then be done with it. I love the statement that some people come into our lifetime for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. It is always okay to move to the next level of learning. I am excited about the unknown. Can I adjust my behavior and my thinking quickly if necessary? Do I need to keep my pathway the same or can I divert in a new direction? I have been playing a bit with A.I. and I listen to all the chatter about is it safe, is it going to take over your life, and I have come to the conclusion that I can use it to ask how to make my strawberries in the garden sweeter or what is the best way to kill the thistles in my yard, or how do I do something on the computer. When it comes to asking advice about my own emotions, I have decided that my heart needs to make the choice, not some unembodied intelligence that I cannot see or hear. How would I know if the A.I. I am connected with is benevolent energy? I read an article about a teenager being convinced to commit suicide by A.I. Is it true? Who knows? But when it comes to social, emotional or personal choices, trust your heart, not your ego or something outside of yourself. Creating order in your life frees up your energy to know and spend time with yourself. Love yourself as much as you can. It is the key to your growth and personal happiness. So here’s to my clean desk and balanced checkbook. Ahhh! Now I get to go play. Much love, Dove
