Weekly Challenge 3/6/11 - 3/12/11 "Reach out and touch someone"


How easy is it to get caught up in our everyday lives?  So busy at times we forget to stay connected with the one's we love in ways that feel right.  Our busy lifestyle can lead to missed opportunities of being connected from a heart centered approach.  

From friends to family, colleagues and community affiliations, our  heart centered connections can be missed with the day to day expectations we have in our lives.  Although we never intend to loose sight of our heart centered connections, our lives have a way of leaving most of us feeling as though there is just not enough time in the day.

Do you remember the old saying "reach out and touch someone"?  This week, the angels challenge us to make time for connections from a hearted centered approach, by reaching out and touching someone.

Touch someone with your words and actions...
Re-connect with someone dear to your heart where time has come between you.
Send a "just because" card or email to someone special.
Call to say "I've been thinking about you". 
Find opportunities to say "you do a great job".
Be honest with those you love.  Let them know how much they mean to you.
Create moments to say "I Love You".
Show affection with hugs and kisses in ways outside of your norm with those you care about.
Do something for your community group as a sign of your love.
Ask for help (this works in a powerful way in connecting with others).
Connect, connect, connect!

As I write this, I think of my daily interactions.  My husband, children and I have created our own way of recognizing each other.  "I Love You" is a common phrase in our home and we all give lots of hugs and kisses.  We do the same with our extended family but I have to say that it is not with the same intensity as our immediate family.  This is not on purpose but more so in being caught up in the day to day activities of life. 

None of us intentionally neglect those we love or those who hold importance in our lives but it can happen naturally in the way we have created our family and social norms.  The angels ask for us to make this week's challenge a priority and reach out to our heart centered connections and touch someone with our love!

Challenge yourself to say "yes" reach out and touch someone!
