The Power of Intention

When we wake up in the morning most often we focus on what we have to do for the day. We go over the laundry list of things and make check marks in our head about what "needs" to take place. For some this is the process. Yet take  moment and imagine instead that before you go over the list of "things" to do, you first set your intention (making a conscious decision to do a particular thing a particular way) on how you want to experience the things that you are going to do. How different your day would be if you decide in advance that "today when I do the laundry, cook dinner or attend the 11 am meeting, I AM going to BE FULLY PRESENT AND ENJOY IT!"

Starting out on any task without having an intention is like driving without a destination. Set your destination for Joy in every experience and cruise through the day with a different outlook. If you need help doing this, let Women Healing Zone help you do just that!

In Remembrance of 9/11/01

Remembering 9/11/01 and The Possibility of HOPE

As I look back on 9/11/01, what I remember is seeing the second plane crash into the build from the television screen and thinking OMG what the FUCK! What I remember is feeling scared and uncertain of "what was going on." What I  remember is not being able to reach my younger brother who work at the UN at that time and hoping that he was OK.

Through all the memories I hold, what I remember MOST and hold most dear to me, other than the lives sacrificed, are the many acts of kindness I saw. People walking for miles shoulder to shoulder. Others being given a lift by complete strangers. Neighbors who hadn't spoken finally meeting to exchange food, a word, a gesture of connection and comfort. Black, White, Gentile or Jew. All this set aside to help one another. All that was seen was a person in need. There is nothing like tragedy to bring about change. The tragedy of 9/11/01 brought about a softening of some hearts, "A banding together for the greater GoOD." We laid down our grievances, put aside resentments and embraced each other, strangers included. Today as you reflect back on that day, let it stand as a testimony, not of what tragedies are possible but what is POSSIBLE when WE Allow OurSelves to Lay down our Arms and link ARMS in Harmony and Unconditional Love. This is not only A Possibility, it was an actuality in the midst of great tragedy. Let us band together now to change the face of Humanity. We can truly be what our fore fathers wrote about, One NATION UNDER GOD, Indivisible With LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
