It's been an interesting time, hasn't it? Being in #lockdown, folks all over the world have been able to reconnect with their loved ones, and rediscover what they love about each other. Some have been struggling. Some have done a lot of introspection, and taking the time for self care and discovering what they really want in their lives.
One thing that I think has happened is that people have been finding ways to appreciate their lives at home. We're a busy society, and it's always a rush.
- Get up early
- Get the kids up and ready for school
- Go to work
- Work
- Go home
- Take kids to activities
- Make dinner
- Clean
- Bedtime routine
- Sleep
Do you see any time for savoring time with family? Enjoying your home, which for many people is a symbolic sanctuary?
I believe that we've been given this time, as hard as it has been for so many people with health issues and financial loss, to be able to rediscover what exactly is in our own back yard. That's where our heart's desire is.
So as you mow the lawn, work in the garden, and tend to your patio, look around your back yard. Watch your pets as they lounge around in the sunshine. Watch your kids as they play tag, laughing and jumping in the sprinkler. With every stripe of grass you mow, see it as releasing the stress of your "old life", and realize that your heart's desire really is in your own back yard.
The lesson that Dorothy learned in the movie, is that she really is smarter than she thought, was more compassionate than she thought, and was more courageous than she thought. And in doing so, discovered that her heart's desire was in her own back yard, with Auntie Em and Uncle Henry, and their farm hands. And of course, Toto.
Bee in love with the heartwork of your life.
