"Ego has no place in rational discussion. I think it's important as a culture to become more thick-skinned and see things as they are, not as they are in relation to ourselves."

~ Gloredhel (fellow Buddhist homeschooling momma)

I try to step aside in awkward or stressful situations and just "be." Things don't always work out the way I prefer, but this definitely helps me to process and move on.

Next time life tries to slap you in the face, just "be" and see what happens. You will be greatly surprised how much effort it takes to react to a situation versus watching the situation resolve itself naturally.

Life is funny that way, things always seem to work out. Try to stop fighting the process.

It's hard to just be sometimes, but once we stopped chomping at the bit about a house, we got it.

When it clicks, you'll know it.

Wow!! Life is crazy for sure. I try to just "be" as you know. Zen is the way to be... I hope to be more in the Zen zone as I learn how to just let go and be! I hope we all can learn and support each other to just "be" more each day! Love yah....
