out walking, she honks the horn, rolls down her car window, and with a
beautiful smile, joyfully calls out to me, “Love you!” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Those two simple, happy
words always make my day. It’s easy in this age of negative 24/7 news, angry
social media posts and polarizing perspectives to fall into the belief that we
can’t do anything to positively affect the world. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">But Debbie knows better. With
one “Love you!” after another, she is doing something powerful and
transformative: she is spreading love. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">When fear, worry, and differences
distract us, we would all benefit from gratefully receiving and generously spreading
God’s love. When we focus on being kind, respectful, compassionate and loving,
we take positive action that sends ripples of positivity. Our thoughts, words
and actions make a difference. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Today: Spread God’s love. “Let all
you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14</span><o:p></o:p></p>

and voices in joy. Joy, however, isn’t limited to Christmastime. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background: white;">Thich Nhat Hanh,
the famous Vietnamese monk and peace activist, cautions us about mistaking joy
as something that happens spontaneously or only seasonally. He says that joy
must be cultivated, it must be practiced all of the time if it’s to grow. He
suggests that we each have the ability to “cultivate peace and joy in
ourselves, which we can then offer to those around us.” </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">Every day all
year long, there is the opportunity to cultivate joy. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">When you view your life
as a blessing and when you receive and give love openly, you tend to feel happier,
to feel more joyful. And the great thing is that happiness and joy don't
just stay inside of you. Their good energy exudes from you and spreads
naturally to others. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">You don't need a lot of money, a new car, a fancy house,
fashionable clothes or the latest gadget to experience and share joy. Most
often, our greatest joys come from our small, ordinary moments. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Today: Cultivate joy and then share it with others.</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Copyright Keri Olson 2011</div>Keri Olsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06362334734452332059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362443631765987550.post-23782830703903180742021-12-23T16:00:00.001-06:002021-12-23T16:00:00.213-06:00Cast Light into the Darkness<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #050505;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now more than

a talent for it. If she wasn’t making her lovely red felt cardinal ornaments,
she was coming up with some other creative idea. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: large;">One year, she hand-sewed small
square pillows filled with homemade potpourri. On one side of each pillow, she
wrote a word. On mine, she wrote “peace.” Whenever I run my fingers over her
handwriting on that small pillow, I feel a calm in my heart as if Mom is
passing the sign of peace to me. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: large;">Life can be a rather stressful experience at
times. We may feel downhearted, exhausted, spent, isolated. It’s in those
moments when I think about my loving mom’s gift—her handwritten message to me
about peace. I think about how I might make room for peace in my heart when the
days feel hard, and how I might pass that peace along to others so that they,
too, may experience it and pass it along. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Today: Feel peace, live
peace, pass peace on. “Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.”</span></p>

eloquent letters to me in beautiful penmanship. In one of those keepsake
letters, Mary wrote about the popular Johnny Mercer song from the 1940s, <i>Accentuate
the Positive</i>. She reminded me to keep going, to remain hopeful. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her words
helped me to carry on during a challenging time in my life. It's not always
easy to be hopeful or optimistic, especially when life dishes out painful,
difficult moments. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">It seems as if those times become magnified during the
Christmas season when all is supposed to be “merry.” We all know those who are experiencing
illness or are caring for a loved one. We know those who are suffering from the
loss of a spouse or parent or child. We know those who are dealing with
unwelcome work changes or carrying the burden of a financial crisis. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s
during those heavy times when this season of Advent is even more important
because it is the season of hope. As we approach the winter solstice, the
longest night of the year, remember those who are experiencing their own
longest nights. Lift them up with the wings of hope. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Today: Be a
source of hope for someone.</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">Copyright Keri Olson 2011</div>Keri Olsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06362334734452332059noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362443631765987550.post-22131029186283794332021-10-10T06:00:00.003-05:002021-10-10T06:00:00.254-05:00Be Light!<span style="font-size: large;">Tomorrow marks 10 years since I began writing this <i>Time to Be</i> blog. What began as a healing mechanism to help me put words to my grief after my mother passed away turned into a delightful space in which to explore my writing voice, refine my focus on blessing and joy, and share messages that I discovered deep in my heart. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As with all things, however, they eventually come to an end. It's time for me to be for a bit. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While my <i>Time to Be</i> blog will continue in some shape or form, I will contribute to it only periodically, not on a weekly (or more often) basis, as I've done over the past decade.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I do post again to this blog, I will be sure to share the link to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.</span></div>
