    Today, I prepared for work….showed up in the driver’s seat of my car…….and then…went nowhere. I had brought the wrong keys and locked the REAL keys in my house…with the alarm on! I had to laugh. Then called my husband home from his job in a neighboring town. I spent 30 quality minutes with my dog, watching the storm from our open garage door. It was a truly lovely moment despite the unexpected nature of my situation.

      Thank you for sharing Sharon. For me, the lesson I learned the most from was showing up and being present. I used to find myself skipping ahead to what’s next rather than being in that moment and being fully present. 🙂

    Nice! And something more – the first one may not be needed! Yes, just improvise and don’t let over-preparation be a delay tactic. (Spoken from my own experience)

      Being spontaneous and trusting our ability to be in the moment is also a valuable lesson Vincent. Thank you for sharing it 🙂
