"And I am learning to question what my colleagues say we have to do, because inevitably it turns out that not all of us are doing the things that some of us think we all have to do." THIS! As someone who goes overboard on the list of things I think we all have to do, I appreciate the reminder that not everyone is approaching life/work/responsibility in the same way.

I love todays message as I found myself becoming quite anxious as I prepared for the day which includes returning to Seminary class. I could relate well to the need of a ‘non-anxious presence’ right at the moment that I was reading. A simple moment of stopping, then breathing deeply, helped me to realize where my anxiousness stem from and that alone instantly allowed me to feel a decrease in anxiousness…..how wonderful it is to recognize what we’re feeling and to literally feel the shift just from acknowledging our feelings.

This message today was even more profound for me because before last month I knew nothing about the importance of having a ‘non -anxious presence’, but having been introduced to the Bowen Family System Theory during a summer course enlighten me dearly. Wow, life and learning are good. I’m grateful!
