“Dear Great Spirit”,

We get so caught up in the day-to-day task for survival that at times we look back and cannot understand how the time has passed and what have we accomplished that has brought us joy and satisfaction.  We are so entrenched in the business and challenges of the things that hold our attention and distract us from realizing that we are investing in all the things external to our own well-being and development, that we lose sight of what is really important. 

We need to have the time and space to fix our attention on the memory of what you have provided for our “divine journey”.  We need time and space to be able to take in the beauty and wonder that surrounds us.  We need time and space to evaluate what we are doing and where we are going on this “divine journey”.  We don’t want to look up and feel that we have missed out on a “moment” or “opportunity” to experience something that will change our course for the better, or that we might miss out on an encounter with another person who was destined to engage in our life and enhance the quality of how we live. 

We want to live the joy you can shower us with!  We want to live a life that allows us time to breathe deeply and gives life to every cell of our body.  We want to have a life-work balance that makes the time and space for you “Great Spirit”, self-care, family, friends, and opportunities to share are “divine gifts” that are uniquely ours for a reason.  We realize that now is the time for us to incubate and deliberate in our sacred space so that we can chart out a plan with your guidance to live the quality of life we desire and deserve.

Ashe!  Ashe! Ashe! Amen!
