it starts

It starts with a commitment: I will be more.  

I will live in the moment, as much as possible.  I want that.  I don't want this life to pass by.  I want to know that I felt it, witnessed it, accepted it, moved within it, smelled it, tasted it, and enjoyed it.  I want to know that even though it will be impossible for every moment, I was in more moments than I was out.  I want to get that even when it's not good, it's still good because it's my experience and an opportunity to feel the fullness of who I am, the whole picture of me.  I want to proceed knowing that I can't make this happen, but my commitment is enough for now.  My commitment is powerful and because of it I will begin to feel the absolute rightness of exactly where I am and I will know that my determination is paying off.  And I will think, yes, this is what I want to feel like, this is everything, and I want more of this. 

about me

I like a bottom line. 

In our world where there is endless information, opinions, assessments and options to consider, a bottom line provides good solid ground.  That's what 'be' is to me - one of life's bottom lines.  It goes: you've got this moment, enjoy it or not, it's your choice. I want to be present in my life, with my children, in my body, for the experience.  I want to appreciate it all.  I believe there is perfection in every moment.  And I believe the conversation about being - what it means and how to "do" it - clears the way to a happy, successful life.  I believe life is meant to be enjoyed moment by sweet moment and I'm giving it my best shot.
