Oh My Word Mission update
I wrote on the last page of my current journal last night. The cover on it is one of my favorite’s. Writing in my journal is such an effective way for me to sort out reality from the crazy thoughts in my head. As thoughts circle around my mind, thinking only sucks me into the whirlpool. But writing helps me get it out so I can organize them. Once they are organized I can determine what is important, what is just crap and what needs attention. Journal writing has kept me sane for a long time.
I am starting a new journal today, in anticipation of the “Oh My Word” Mission for 2010. If you don’t know about it, you can read it here. My word for next year is Acceptance. I chose that word because I want to learn to accept myself just as I am today. All of me. But since choosing the word, I’m finding out that it is also about my accepting others. Just as you can’t love others if you dont’ love yourself, you can’t accept others if you don’t accept yourself. It is going to be an interesting year to discover all I don’t know about acceptance.
If you are participating in the Oh My Word mission with me, be sure you have a blank book of some sort to write in, OR a blog. As I offer ways to focus on your word, you will need a place to record your reactions and thoughts. I know several of you have posted your word, but if you dont’ have a word yet, just remain open. Spend some quiet time listening. I know that seems impossible right now with the holiday activities, but it only takes a few mins to listen. While you’re driving, or brushing your teeth, just focus on being open and ready to hear your word.
