Two of my favorite animals, no matter how represented! I often question my "peace making" intentions when I seem to be out of touch with that in the way I handle everyday aggravations. Today, I saw for myself just how it does get smoother and easier when I relax and bless each event, person, etc. I spoke my truth about what I saw happening today with having to purchase new tires from Walmart only six months after the last pair and questioned what their policies are that did not make sense to me...but managed to do it in a good tone of voice and not angrily. I was given a lot of discounts and many fees were waived. That went well! A little while earlier, other things were not working right on the car and a job I applied for gave me a rejection email (without ever having contacted me! again! fourth time!) and I was inclined to be really gloopy. I did better and it got better, right away. I still don't have a job, but I have safe tires on the front of the car tonight and that's an important step to getting out there tomorrow and getting the other items fixed...I can drive to the other mechanic's shop safely! You are so right about how my attitude and intention toward what is happening can help out a tough situation - or make it just that much harder for everyone, including me!

I feel the same way. Amit started laughing and he said "How can that frog be peaceful? He has no pants on." Yes, that's my husband. We love you both. Dear Carla,

We both enjoyed this post. I feel the same way. Amit started laughing and he said “How can that frog be peaceful? He has no pants on.” Yes, that’s my husband. We love you both.

So much can be profoundly changed with a shift in intention and mindfulness. I will be focusing on this today. Lily saw the picture of the peace frog and said, “Is that in Carla’s bed?”
