Staying Grounded in Turbulent Times

by Carol Hohle

One resource that I have found to been especially helpful in recent months is the “Word for the Day” from the Network for Grateful Living. It arrives in my email inbox every morning and It takes less than a minute to read.

Most days I find it so relevant that I pause, read it a second and third time, and lean in to its message. “Leaning” includes a brief acknowledgement of the message’s truth and my heart’s alignment to its promise.

This brief grounding makes a huge difference in my day – especially on days when I feel the craziness of the world pushing in on me. Simply recalling the spirit of the quote helps keep me feeling grounded.

Thank you gratefulness.org for this fabulous resource!

“It’s not a destination, it’s a journey.” Seeking truth never ends. One foot in front of the other, constantly moving forward with a willingness to open up to fresh perspectives and ideas, even if it means a radical change of thought. Yes, it is hard work, your OWN work, to think for yourself and not give in to other influencers. But here’s the thing that helps: An individual moral code, a lens or filter that helps you discern what is worth keeping, and what must be discarded.

Imagine thousands on a journey to truth today, rich in diversity but united in seeking truth that serves the common good. This is truth that empowers us to love our neighbors as ourselves.

We will be using our lens to gather stories of truth-seeking and individual discovery, as well as organizations that collectively serve the ongoing journey. There are three main attributes of our focus: Discernment, Reconciliation and Forgiveness. Walk with us this year.
