TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE

"Some stories empower us and others disempower us. Which of your stories bring you to life and which deaden you?
                                 ~ Alan Cohen


Today, let's pay attention to how we are using imagination. Memory too.   

Every time we think ahead,
imagining what might happen,
we're telling ourselves a story.

The same is true when we look back as well as when we interpret present happenings. 

Using hope, let's trust that something valuable is available for us in every life experience. Let's believe with faith that every moment holds gifts and grace to help us grow.

When disempowering stories come to mind, let's remember that we have choices. We can dwell on these stories. Or, we can let them pass through our consciousness like clouds moving across the sky. Or, we can pause, change our perspective, and try to see differently.  We can look through and beyond limiting beliefs toward beholding beautiful truths. We can claim hidden blessings.   

When we do, it's like finding money in an old coat or a misplaced lottery ticket that turns out be a winning one.

We all have story wealths waiting to be discovered. May we each be empowered by finding one today.

Seeing it so,  
Charlene

IMAGINATION:  May it nourish your visions and dreams.  
HOPE: Through each passage and season may you trust the goodness of life.
