The Best Laid Plans.

Yes, I am starting my Simple Abundance journey today.

No, I won't be posting about Day 1.

Until tomorrow, that is. In my life, the evenings are the only time I have to read anything of substance. I usually read my devotional before I go to sleep each night, rather than in the mornings. So tonight I will be reading January 1 in Simple Abundance and tomorrow I'll tell you what I learned...I'm sure it will be riveting!! ;-)

I don't plan to post everyday; perhaps once a week, or when something specifically enlightening hits me. If you are reading the book as well, you can comment on any post or email me your thoughts (landopink [at] aol [dot] com). I'd like to share what you all are learning as well!

I want to encourage my "mommy friends" in particular, to grab this book and join in on this soul-nourishing path. Take some time to feed the most neglected part of you. The world screams, "Do something for yourself! You deserve some 'ME' time!".  Now how many of you know there is an element of truth in every lie? The lie here is that you should buy something, go somewhere, or become something you are not. The element of truth is that you need to take care of yourself...spirit, body, AND soul.

I'll leave you with this analogy: When flight attendants go through their saftey schpiel, they tell passengers that if the oxygen masks drop down, adults should place their masks on first, and THEN help children or disabled passengers do the same. The idea is that the one responsible for others must be in health in order to help those in their charge. If you "pass out", who is going to take care of your family!?
