“What you are aware of you are in control of; what you are not aware of controls you.” Anthony de Mello
I had a crazy day yesterday. In the morning I went to meet with a mediator who has been doing some work with our team. I asked her to push me hard on my “stuff”. It worked, but it was not pretty. I felt drained the rest of the day. I have been mulling over our conversation. The interesting thing was that today in the discussions between directors regarding the Second Week of the Spiritual Exercises, something twigged for me. One of the directors shared the quote above and another bolt of lightning struck. Now that I am aware of something, I can control it because I am done with it controlling me. All very good learning that will help me move onward.
Yesterday, a day without blogging, was long. I worked, I had a dentist appointment and then helped a colleague create the beginnings of a photo book of her son’s wedding. By the time I got home, I was beat. I brushed my teeth and thought the best thing I could do was crawl into bed.
Today zipped by. I had quite a bit to do on my list and managed to complete a good portion of it. I still need to pack for my road trip tomorrow. I had three meetings regarding the Spiritual Exercises and each of them brought me to a kinder place in my soul than yesterday. God is good!
Peace,
Suzanne
