Those defiant words of a teen struggling to be independent came to us through the commercial airwaves in the 60’s. My family members often remember these things and laugh. That girl and her mother have provided us with lots of giggles over the years. However, in our second half of life as Baby Boomers, there is a more troubling or serious side effect of that expression.
Taking Inventory, A Life Lesson
My first “real” job in my life was retail. I worked for Lord & Taylor in the late 70’s in New York. In fact, that is how I landed in Washington, DC in 1979, transferred to ‘the branches’ from the flagship NY store. That was a necessary step for all “executive trainees”. The idea was, you would serve time in the suburbs and return to NY as an assistant buyer who now understood the critical remote tentacles of the business.
Living a ‘Well-Integrated’ Life, My Word of the Year- Integrate
I plan a word of the year every year. I choose a word or a theme that accurately defines my intention and hope for the coming year. I choose it by “feel”. It comes to me through my journaling, meditation, and spiritual contemplation. This year my word is “integrate” and my goal is to live a ‘well-integrated’ life every day.
Today is my 68th birthday. Today is a new day in my life.
This week was Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights and the beginning of a new year. I learned about this yesterday. We had a ceremony with a candle and some money. We were taught at the end to give the money away following the ceremony. The message was money and abundance will multiply and letting go is a catalyst for multiplication. Money is currency, it’s energy, it is meant to be circulated, it is not to be held, it is to be spent. Like the current in a river, it flows, energy circulates, it comes back, it continues to generate more energy and it is important to unblock it and keep it moving. It comes back to fuel our lives.
