NAUVOO.

clearly, i need to prioritize. here i am, back to share truth i have been learning. I am in Nauvoo. Again. Yes. It's amazing how one can learn so many different things, and become a different person, because of the same place. If only you can be open to it...it took a little while...here are a few things I have been learning...
*...how to give, when you have nothing left to give.
*...how to lift others, when you feel like you need lifting.
*...how to trust Heavenly Father...again...
*...how to love
*...how to look for and listen to the stories of those around you, even when you don't know the details. How to let their stories inspire you and influence your experience.
*...you don't need to know the end of your journey, to appreciate the pit stops, the flat tires, the funny billboards, the growing corn stalks, the melting tar in the epic midwest heat waves, etc.
*...that you have no end to your journey, because you are constantly sparking new beginnings.
*...when we give all we have on stage, for those on and off stage, we BECOME, rather than merely acting.
*...LISTEN.
*...open you heart to feel and be affected.
*Risk. (apparently I am not very good at this in certain areas of my life...)
I can get more specific...but these are a few things that I am learning in this sauna of a swamp that is one of the most beautiful and peaceful cities I have ever been to.
