Friday Reflections

Friday Reflections is all about reflecting on the week by observing our senses.  My hope is that this will be a gentle, easy way to tune into how we are doing and what we are experiencing weekly when journaling in general can feel so daunting.

Now, for this week’s Friday Reflections (with each sense as your inspiration, consider how experiencing it impacted your week).

Here is my sensory round-up for this week:     

tasting ::  birthday cake and black bean tortilla pie.

hearing :: happy cousins shrieking in joy.  There may be nothing sweeter than cousins who adore each other.

smelling ::  fresh ground coffee beans at the local coffeehouse during a morning of meetings.

seeing ::  the unabated joy of cousins reuniting and children having a blast at a birthday party.

feeling ::  satisfied.  I had a  disproportionate amount of stuff that needed to get done this week and I got more of it done than I thought I would.

wishing/hoping ::  for the ability to offer inspiration at my talks this coming week (I’ll be at the University of Saint Joseph in Connecticut on Tuesday night and  University of North Carolina- Charlotte on Wednesday night.) and for safe, smooth travels (I am also doing a quick up and back trip to see a dear friend be commissioned as a LT. Colonel in the US Army.  So very proud of her!).

What about you?  What were your sensational experiences this week?  Please share!
