Life is not “a bowl of cherries,” and it is not made better when we simply accept all that befalls us without questioning its validity. This is none other than a state of mind nurtured by habit; that of letting life run its course with little or no thought given to the fact that we alone are in charge of our own destiny. Our very well-being demands that we free ourself of this habit by cultivating a sense of personal awareness and of consciously making choices that redound to our benefit.

“… consciously making choices that redound to our benefit.”
Just this morning, Meg and I met to chat and share our lives with each other. Together we’ve taken many *personal growth classes over the past couple of years so when we get together it’s all about…, what did you decide about this… ? what helped you to figure this out … ? how would you approach this… ? what helped you to make that choice … ? Our conversation focuses on encouraging, uplifting and celebrating each other!
And thanks to Linda’s choice in choosing independent coffee shops as her favourites, Meg and I met at Central Blends a cozy, older community coffee shop with friendly servers :o) It’s a keeper! blw
