family meetings | Team TLC = Thomas, Lillian and Camilla

January 2 2017

Buckling your own seatbelt …

I’m going through papers before sitting down to create my 2017 mind map and two theme words for the year and came across Lillian’s intention card from when she was eleven years old.

She did indeed accomplish this by that summer, I believe. I felt moved to share. May this give you pause and deep heart centered reflection as you move into the new year. xoxo

Deep in review of 2016 and coming to a knowing of 2017. Listening to music, eyes closed at times, remembering, reflecting, envisioning. This feels different than any other time in the past. Feels wonderful, feels the pretense to a huge shift …. xoxo

Finalizing review of 2016 and coming to the knowing of 2017. Lillian is done with this part of the process. And Thomas may create his in the moment.

We had a nearly two hour family meeting last night. I shared my theme of 2017 – The Shift. Shared my two words for the year: Knowing and Allowing. And my anchor – Writing.

I also shared that there is deep tiredness within me. All part of the process for me and a quality that is an integral part of the shift that will occur.

I will be releasing some things that do not serve me nor our family. And, as of now, may very well be as a tree and hibernate for the winter. Will create a blog post with the final 2017 vision and more details. If interested, I invite you to sign up to receive blog posts directly to your email. xoxo

Thomas and I had our solo walk yesterday afternoon. We held hands, talked about a book he and his friends are writing, watched the goslings, and held hands some more.

We walked by the pool and grills. The pool was pretty crowded and all the grills were being used. So we decided to try again tomorrow and to head over there a little earlier since we won’t be walking.

We had a Team TLC Family Meeting last night too. We discussed the following: (excerpted from Deepak Chopra’s “The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents”)

“You are here for a reason.”

“Everyone’s life is a fairy tale written by God’s fingers.” ~Hans Christian Anderson

There is a hidden purpose working for our evolution in every event, every action, every thought. The highest goal in life is to find this purpose and live by it.

Awareness is the key to achieving what the universe has planned for you.

1) Where are you right now? …. regarding your purpose and your path

2) Where do you think your going? What is your vision?

3) How do you plan to get there? What is your work on that path.

4) How far do you think you’ve gotten. What is your level of awareness?

5) What do you think is holding you back? What is your present challenge or lesson?

6) Where are we as a family?

Many desires do not immediately come true. Disappointment, discouragement, and frustration are spiritual realities that we do not need to hide from.

There is always some good hidden in uncomfortable emotions.

7) Make a list of your talents.

Talents are given to us by spirit for our happiness and fulfillment.

8) You are invited to do something kind for someone else, however small the gesture might be.

Ideas:

Picking up litter

Opening a door for someone

Helping someone younger

Help someone around the house with chores or things they need to get done

Helping someone else feels good in a way that just doing something for yourself doesn’t.

When you help others, you have an opportunity to appreciate their worth; helping expresses this appreciation directly.

Your duty to society is to serve others.

Your duty to yourself is to unfold spiritually.

“A life of purpose reveals the purpose of life.”

“The universe has a purpose – the fulfillment of human creativity and happiness.”

“Don’t struggle to find out why you are here – just look closer.”

We spent about an hour discussing and it was wonderful! Then, by complete coincidence the book I had chosen for our nighttime reading was “You’re Here for a Reason” … Perfect!!

Quote from the book: “Even the smallest of things that you do blossom and multiply far beyond you. A kindness, for instance, may triple for days …. or set things in motion in different ways. ….. So don’t be too worried if some days fall flat. Good things can happen, even from that.”

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! xoxo
