“Purpose responds, it doesn’t demand.”
Forcing direction creates resistance.
Listening creates alignment.
The quieter you become, the clearer the signal.
Nothing pushed.
Nothing rushed.
The next step
arrives
on its own.
Purposeful Practice:
Ask one question today and don’t answer it, just let it be, sometimes we dont need the answer, just purposeful practice in allowing there not to be an answer.
-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, we prepare the inner ground.
SONSHINE FOR YOU 
Love this, Kerri! I will definitely throw my question to the wind and see what comes back. Thank you so much, my friend!

The opening line is beautiful: “Surrendered to this moment and day.” Yes, we need to be more intentional about that. Thank you for this wonderful reminder, Kerri, and Happy New Year.

That is a beautiful poem and you are right about “Listening creates alignment.” Learning to listen and to listen to understand, not to respond, is very important.

It’s so hard sometimes but everytime I wait when I want to speak and just give it a breath instead it always shows me room I needed to learn to give.

I should say that I’ve read somewhere that even though in general you should not interupt, if someone talks about 90% of the time and is not listening well, then it is not considered rude to interupt. One sided conversations are not good and not polite so in that case you have to.

I do agree with that …. I have a friend that does that, she’s very excitable and has much to tell and I know when I talk to her she needs a listener, so I rarely talk , just listen.. then every now and then it’s a good back and forth, but I have very strict limits and over 40 years I’ve learned to tell her I’m at my limits least 30 -60 minutes before so I can go or get off the phone. She knows ahead of time I can only hear so much before I have to go. It’s taken me years to learn the speak up and make limits and boundaries for my own well being but still allowing her space to just let go and I listen up. I only have one of these friends there is only room for one. 😂😂😂😂😂🥰🥰she’s very special and I do treasure the rare times it’s a back and forth I learn so much from our conversations when we do that.

That is a very interesting situation. Her massive amount of talking is kind of special. I guess every case is different. However, when you speak to an acquaintance and you have different perspectives or opinions and the other person is a motormouth who only wants to give you their perspective and is not interested in yours, then it is OK to interrupt. There’s got be a balance or it is not a conversation, discussion or debate.
