When I LOVE ME My Priorities Change

Howdy! I just had to write a short post as I was walking thru the San Francisco Muni (down near Market and Powell) and there is a billboard add for Hawaiian Airlines I think it is but the caption got me thinking.

It said, "Visit Hawaii and Your Priorities Change". Seeing as I had a rather remarkable week living I LOVE ME and managing to stay incredibly open and self loving and feeling quite victorious in the moment, seeing that billboard gave me a good chuckle. For it was my own priorities that I was bumping up against and I guess they have just changed.

Living and working in collaborative and loving spaces is more important than slave driving myself to make a buck. Sure, I have a certain luxury that gives me some freedom to actually make a choice like this ... I get that, but this week I made a huge shift in priority.

And so I wonder what our community would look like if our priorities were driven by actively - notice I used the word actively - loving who we are? Would we need so many things or need to be as busy as we are? Would we sleep an extra hour a night or eat a little differently? I think it would be very individual for each of us but just imagine walking around and each and every person who we bump in to is whole heartedly accepting him or herself including all of their sometimes vulnerable needs. Relationship in this world becomes about how to honor our own needs and the needs of another and how we lovingly dance with one another in those places where our needs may differ. A bit Utopian but I think it is really good to entertain these kinds of dreams.

Anyway, the end result is I felt strongly that for the month of February, in my t-shirt business to up the anti so-to-speak and give 50% as opposed to my usual 20% of profits to local charities and non-profits. I had so much fun writing my first batch of checks to local non profits...it was just way more fun than using the money for some other personal item. So check them out. www.myownbiggestfan.com

Love to You...and hugs and all that other ooey gooey stuff!
