Living by Heart's Intent: Imagine

As I sat in a quiet house with only the baby and myself, eating lunch today, I was thinking of how nice it was to be alone.

Imagine....

alone!

Then, all of my children appeared….. I looked around our walls where my children have created “positive affirmation” notes and hung them randomly around our home. They have written words and drawn pictures and hung them with fun stickers on whatever surface they chose. This was in effort to create continuous positive thoughts. We read them when we pass by or stand to pour a cup of coffee or lock the door for the last time at night. Notes such as “Ocean Waves”, Pretty osim fireworcks and cookout”, “Happyness is a roadway to fun”, and “bright smiles” help put positive energy into our home. These notes hold part of my children’s spirits all the time.

So, I thought, I’m not alone. My children are all here with me.

Then, John Lennon appeared… my phone rang from the other room and I heard my ringtone, “Imagine”. His energy makes me smile, no doubt. He sang positive affirmations to the world and encompassed our desire for peace and connection in a beautifully artistic way. He was part of my home today as I sang with him.

So, I thought, I’m not alone. My children and John Lennon are here.

Then, hundreds, no, maybe thousands of people appeared… I looked around our kitchen and living room. I started thinking of all of the people who have invented and created something that impacts my house. From the technology of the refrigerator and microwave, all the way to the very design of our picture frames or the colors of our candles. Someone envisioned my curtains before they sewed them, someone found the river rocks and polished them before they made their way around the vase on my table, someone painted my paintings, molded my rod iron artwork, and wove my baskets. So many people – thousands and thousands of people – took part in the very things living in my house. Their positive energy, the fruits of their labor, the creation of their invention is all part of my home!

So, I thought, I’m not alone. My children and John Lennon and thousands of other people are here.

How AWESOME to realize we really are SO VERY intertwined with not only are loved ones, but also with strangers. We rely on one another and we appreciate one another without even realizing how much we do. Imagine the day when we begin to grasp the depths of our connections and we realize the magnitude of that connection simply laughs at the shallowness of what divides us.

As a mom, I take this back as a lesson to grow through with my kids…Loving with ALL of my Heart’s Intent is realizing what we send out is what we get back. Our impact on this world is so much larger than what we realize. I am understanding more and more and MORE ,that as I share positivity, I receive positivity! What you give IS what you get!
