Making resolutions & setting goals are tricky at times. We can play games, bargain and blame others as we make excuses for our lack of progress. Have you ever done that? Sometimes there is an awakening that happens -causing us to see clearly what is blocking our success.

Sweeet story
I’m constantly making connections as in the story. Though, I’ve always preferred to practice my yoga in the comfort of my home via DVD. I haven’t practiced yoga since my stroke, and should return to that practice.

I feel very happy today! I am not so anxious. Making dinner and made sure my family is taken care of
I have to find my happy place and stay positive and don’t allow anything to get me upset

Another weird rerun here at Aura
I KNOW I've listened to this story before...would have sworn I commented then, but I see nothing in the notes here. My takeaway here, again is totally relevant to my life. Since my massive stroke and return to my home, family and world, I've made great strides (pun totally intended, as I returned home unable to walk!) you NEVER know what those around you may have gone through, or may be going through! It's best to treat all people and situations with a compassionate heart and eye! Just in case! My most relevant lesson has been with my return to the public streets...I've sadly noticed more than ever just how ignorant and uncaring many drivers are! When you're speeding up from behind me, only to pass quickly on my right? You have no clue who I am or what I've been through! You have no clue as to my finished capacity or great anxiety at driving my two-ton death machine in public! I've begun to give other drivers MUCH more leeway and room, and I'm usually considering if they may be like me...struggling with some impediment or another! Mental? Physical? Emotional? Within the last year, this point was driven (pun totally intended) home when my good friend’s grandfather was forced into a crash in his vintage Cadillac convertible by another driver’s really poor driving choices! Ruined the Cadillac RIGHT BEFORE a big area car show he was really looking forward to participating in! They managed to bring the remains of the Caddy to the show, where I met them to show off the car, and collect donations for grandpa’s medical bills, and solicit donations of money, labor and parts from the local car enthusiast community to get the Caddy back on the road...a mission which was accomplished! Granddad came out of the hospital OK! They were able to pick him up IN the repaired Cadillac!🤗

Great story about not judging others and being compassionate. We all fall into this trap at sometime in our lives. We misjudge others by seeing them at face value and not seeing the whole person.

Mother’s Day 2018
I learned that it’s the little things that truly matter. The cards from my children... the well wishes from my friends. Those little things made me feel appreciated and really made my day today ❤️

Priorities
I learned that I need to focus on what matters most to me (my dreams, my hobbies, my interests, my job, etc) and worry about the least important things after. And there is always time to relax & have fun while doing them (having a beer) ☺️

How lonely we all must feel
This story made me realize that you can be so lonely even surrounded with people. Just try to remember that when you approach anybody and automatically feel empathetic towards each other.

Wow! I’ve been here before. Our thoughts can really mess things up sometimes. I need to pay more attention to what I am thinking and to when! One bad thought can ruin what I need to be doing for myself I could potentially miss out on what it is that I need at that time. One bad thought can take me to places I should never be. I need to work on opening my mind and listening to my heart while looking at ppl differently. I don’t want to pre-judge someone specially when I have no clue how they are, what they are about &/or what is going on in their lives. I don’t want to miss the little things in life or the big things. Today I will work on not judging opening my mind and my heart.

I need to open my mind and listen to my heart. Judging ppl is gonna hurt me more than them. Heck they don’t even know what I am thinking only in do. One bad thought can lead to more an more bad thoughts before I know it I’m in a pool of crap. So today I am going to listen to my thoughts more and my thought process and I am going to pay close attention to my heart to opening my heart more.

I encourage everyone to open their hearts (and ears 😊) and listen to this wonderful story told by a wonderful storyteller! The storyteller tells the story in a gentle voice adding humor and/or touching emotion where appropriate. This is a profound important story anytime, but especially during these difficult times. 💕💕💕
