The Dalai Lama says that one of the key ingredients to a happy life is to visit a place you have never been to before once a year. This got me thinking. When was the last time I stepped out of my comfort zone? Really tried something different? Went somewhere I had never been before. I realized that as I am getting older I am stepping back a bit and knew without a doubt this was not a good thing. Now I probably am not going to jump out of a plane anytime soon but there are things I have been putting on the back burner waiting for the right time.
In 2002 I published a children’s book entitled A Year of Me. The August chapter goes like this:
August is the month
to see what you like to do
There are many things to try
that might be fun for you.
Like fishing for a fish
or wishing on a star.
You could ride on a pony
or travel in a car.
You can play games with your friends
or play all by yourself
With blocks, or dolls, or trucks
paint a picture of an elf.
You can read a book
walk a dog
jump into the sea.
Bake a cake
build a fort
even climb a tree.
There is no end
to all the things
that you can do
“I know I can

and see it I like it too.
Let’s fill in this blank together and do something new and this week on The Night Shift, Tuesday 8/2 at 7:00 PM we are going to talk about taking chances and discovering new things. With the new moon energy it is the perfect time!
I also am going to give away a copy of A Year of Me to one lucky listener! Of course there will be mini readings too!
