Good morning, everyone. Here is your daily moment of yes. And while I was taking my own listening and reflection meditation and prayer time this morning, I would love to say that this amazing insight came to me that completely changed my life. But it didn't. Or did it? I don't know. Because the idea that came to me more than anything this morning as I was sitting there Being quiet, listening. What I heard more than anything were the palm trees in my backyard. I heard the leaves rustling in the wind. I felt the heat of the sun on my back, and it just made me feel connected and very much in touch with my aliveness for the moment. Just hearing the surrounding noises around me, feeling the actual warmth of the sun just made me feel connected. It made me feel rooted. It made me feel alive. And it just made me think about the value in that itself, of just taking time, taking a moment to stop, pause, take in everything around us and just feel it. Just feel it in its total Authenticity. It's total aliveness of the moment. And that, that's what struck me today. That is your daily moment of yes. Have a wonderful day.
