Surprise yourself!
“Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let’s not be afraid to receive each day’s surprise; whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy, it will open a new place in our hearts where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humanity.”
- Henri Nouwen (Spiritual Thinker and Writer)
I don’t know about you, but I love surprises. They bring you in directions you might not have taken otherwise. As our S2W theme of the month for October, we’ll consider how
SURPRISE fits into our lives and how we can welcome it as a way of opening our minds and hearts. Who knows? You may surprise yourself with what comes up during our lively, free-flowing discussion.
Powerful Questions:
Do you typically like surprises?
When have you recently surprised yourself?
Allowing yourself to be surprised suggests vulnerability and some loss of control. Is that a scary concept?
Surprises, good or bad, are sometimes life-changing. How are do we prepare without knowing what’s ahead?
Questions presented by Eileen Seiler, RYT & Writer for Nourishing Storm. Eileen is a writer and teacher at Nourishing Storm. You can catch her Breathe class Tuesdays at 7:30pm and Brewing Storm class Fridays at 9:30 am.
We meet monthly to discuss these questions and the theme as a whole. Join us for our next meeting Sunday, October 2nd at 10am at swiig Juice Bar & Cafe, right next door to Nourishing Storm Yoga Studio.
