It really is the little things that matter most. In so many ways. In all relationships - romantic, career, school, etc.

Do you know what gets me about the “little things”?

How come what *seems* like a “little thing” to me (or to someone else) becomes a “MAJOR thing” for others?

I guess it’s the amount of effort required. Maybe it comes at too high a “price” for that person.
Or maybe it’s “major” because of the wiillingness (or lack thereof) of the other person to step outside of their comfort zone, to take a risk. To compromise.

Must be.

All I know is this:

LITTLE THINGS MATTER.

If enough “LITTLE THINGS” are ignored, they band together and become “BIG THINGS”. And generally they become big UGLY things.

Someone is having a “Little-converted-to-big-thing” moment right now and it is NOT pretty by any stretch of the imagination. I can’t feign sympathy. I can’t. I know myself well enough to know when I’m being clear…and to know that, when I’m NOT being clear, it’s by design.

In this case, I was clear. CRYSTAL. Constantly. Your failure to “hear” me is what’s causing you grief now. Don’t expect a sympathy card from me. As the song refrain goes, “Ya brought it on ya self. Ya brought it on ya self.”

Tend to the little things. That would be my advice.

Tomorrow is my last day on this contract assignment. As is my nature in a lot of cases, I gave in to a few moments of “am I making the right choice?”, “what if I’m wrong?”. Just a few moments. And then, confirmation showed up, in multiples, back to back.

I love the feel of peace against my soul. My mind. Better than silk or cashmere Baby. Trust and believe.

“What we call little things are merely the causes of great things; they are the beginning, the embryo, and it is the point of departure which, generally speaking, decides the whole future of an existence. One single black speck may be the beginning of a gangrene, of a storm, of a revolution.” - Henri Frederic Amiel

“Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things. I am tempted to think there are no little things.” - Bruce Barton

“Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don’t collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don’t really mean anything.” - Norman Lear

” Often people attempt to live their lives backwards. They try to have more things, more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are THEN do what you need to do in order to have what you want.”
~ Margaret Young ~

Don’t mind me folks. Just musing out loud. Mind, heart, soul full…yet none of it quite coherent at the moment.

And so, I sit in the ministry of silence, letting life speak to me, letting it feed me clarity. Letting it infuse my willingness to simply BE. Before any thing else. To simply BE.

Having accomplished that, to then simply let go…surrender…ALL OF IT….and let God…trust…IN EVERYTHING…

No matter what I see. Or what I don’t.

It is in this space, this quiet place, that I grow the courage to speak my life into existence. And all it takes iis a single, heart-fetl, soul borne “YES”. A “YES” that resonates so powerfully with the truth of who I am and the decision to BE that person (all day, every day), Life will never think to ask what I’ve said “NO” to.

To live my life in such a way that my YES - all of them - will ALWAYS ring louder than my NO.

Where - every day, in every interaction with self and others - I step boldly and authentically into the truth and beauty of me.

You know…that whole “LIFE UNDER CONSTRUCTION” thing.

Welcome to Wednesday. Dress in your best “YOU”. It looks good on you!

Make it Beautiful!
