Dear Difference Maker,

The first day of fall is quickly approaching but when we lived in NH, every August 4th, the air would change overnight.  It was the most amazing thing, year after year, that on the 4th you could feel and smell that subtle coolness that always come as the seasons are changing.  We could still have full out summer heat, but every morning from this day forward had a crisp coolness to it.

Many people can hardly wait for Autumn after a long hot summer.  If that’s you, take a moment this morning to enJOY the changes in the Autumn Air to the beautiful musical artistry of Dana Cunningham‘s River of Grace with Will Ackerman accompanying on her Color of Light CD.

Thinking of you and yours … 

Sleep On It!

ONE NIGHT I CALLED MY DAD, TOTALLY exhausted with the worries of the world on my shoulders. It was probably the first time I had ever shared my true feelings of helplessness with him, and he tried to console me. All he did that night was rally to my side and tell me it would be all right. This was exactly what I needed: my dad’s approval and ”knowing” that I could once again make everything all right in my life. At the end of our conversation, he told me to “go sleep on it” – that it would be better in the morning!

My parents were farmers and I realized that there had been many times that they had needed to do this exact same thing. I trusted the wisdom behind this suggestion. I put myself to bed after we finished our conversation. I cried myself to sleep and chose to believe everything would look better in the morning. When I awoke, I did feel better. Shortly thereafter, I was able to find a new direction for myself as my feet were firmly back on the ground.

So, take a load off of yourself and put your problems down for at least one evening. Sleep, sleep, sleep on it and allow the answers to reveal themselves to you.

Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt creep in.
Forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day.
You shall begin it well and serenely.
-RALPH WALDO EMERSON
