This past year we were forced to slow down and enjoy the simplicity of life, in nature, in our homes and with our families. Hold on to the lessons you learned about yourself.

Pam shares an essay written by a student who noticed the difference between running from class to class to living in that space between point A and point B. Slowing down helped her to live between those two letters when she was able slow down and see the ordinary things in her life, finally able to get lost in her own thoughts. What will you say yes to this summer? What will you do to protect your peace of mind? Maybe it starts by not doing everything on your to-do list. Listen to how you can protect your internal pace and to protect they ways you changed for the better. www.talkingjoy.org

Learn the art of listening with Kay Lindahl, founder fo the Listening Institute! “Listening is so close to being loved, that most people cannot tell the difference.” During our Talking Joy podcast conversation we explore ways to create more peace, harmony, and love in your life. This conversation will encourage you to expand your awareness and broaden your concept of listening. I believe this is the key to the peace and togetherness we are all seeking. Honing our listening skills can and will make the world a better place. www.talkingjoy.org

Together we will look back over the last 24 hours with the prayer of examen. You can do this guided meditation anytime of the day, then perhaps you can journal or jot down notes to reflect upon later. This is also a great practice to do with your kids—you are teaching them to be contemplatives! What a gift to carry into adulthood! This practice also helps us discern (decide) how God is calling us—in big and small ways in our daily life into more awareness of patterns or behaviors--I believe this is the place where transformation begins. www.talkingjoy.org

Looking back helps us to be better moms in the future. The littlest things really do matter. Pam will show you how you can expand your life with these little positive changes. Over time they help you build a beautiful life and loving relationships. www.talkingjoy.org
