Mid-Year Review

This morning I gave myself the gift of a mid-year review. If you’ve  been around Tidbits long enough, you know that I have found an annual review to be a powerful piece of intention and purposeful living. You also know that January 1 is NOT my personal “year-end/year-begin” date. For me, it was March 1 this year and accompanied the onset of spring as well as my birthday.

So today was the half-year point. I paused to look back at these six months, notice what is alive in me know, and look ahead to who I would like to be in March 2015. I used this process:

EOY Review

What did I discover? I learned that I am on track! There have been challenges and setbacks … and … I’ve grown, evolved, expanded these last six months. I am recommitting to the March 2014 intention:

2014: The Year I Embrace Being, Visioning,
Intuitive Awareness and Celebrating ME!

with an added emphasis on the celebrating part. Yippee!!!

What about you?

What is happening with your 2014 intentions?
What needs a kick start?
Refocus?
What can you celebrate?

New Point Release?

Sometimes software just needs tweaking, fixing a few bugs, maybe improving functionality a bit. In computer jargon, this is a point release like “1.2” to “1.3”.

Sometimes relationships, or ways of being “me” in this world, need a point release. Consider:

What is ready for me to “step it up” a bit?
What minor change could create major shift?

What tweaks will you announce in this “point release”?

Software Reconfiguration

Sometimes we need more than a reboot, a rest followed by starting over. Sometimes the situation calls for a software reconfiguration in order to avoid insanity:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein

With a current challenge in mind, ask yourself:

What am I repeating over and over – unsuccessfully?
What  are five other choices I could make?

Pick one and do it.

One With All Creation

This morning as I sat outside witnessing the sunrise, I was gifted with a pure soul connection. Having watched several hummingbirds feed over the course of two cups of coffee, I was about to come back inside when the final visitor gave me a most precious gift. Before returning to his (her?) tree home, he hovered 3 feet from my face, connecting eye to eye and soul to soul. For at least 15 seconds, his presence touched me. Three times he dipped, paused, then reset his location.

I have heard of those who become one with the whales.This morning, I was one with that hummingbird. Yet what I know is that we are always one with these precious creatures. We are always one with Life in all its forms. Yet we are so often unaware, unconscious, unwilling to slow down long  enough, be still enough, to recognize the connection.

What connections need your acknowledgment?
What are you waiting for?

Time for a Reboot?

If you use a computer, then you know that sometimes it gets bogged down, the memory is full, and it no longer performs even the simplest of actions you request.And when you call tech support for help, the first thing they suggest is “Reboot”.

Reboot . Shut down. Give it a rest. Clear the memory clutter. Then begin again.

How about you:

Where are you stuck, overloaded, unable to act?
What relationships need a reboot?
What projects need a rest?

Where do you need a reboot?
