Soar with the Eagles

That's not an eagle! That's an Osprey!

Right you are but "Soaring with the Ospreys"just doesn't have the same ring to it.

When ever you are feeling downtrodden and earthbound, just look up and enjoy the sights that greet you.

There is a whole world of entertainment out there in the natural world. Somethings you just don't fully get watching the nature channel, like a sunrise or a majestic flight of the Osprey.

So there may not be majestic birds where you are but there is something flying around.

Flight is a fairly new thing to mankind, but not for birds.

Even spending a few minutes watching the flight of a crow, pidgin, or sea gull can be an up lifting reflection of how something so complex for man is effortless for nature.

The things we struggle with most are usually the things where we seek to circumvent nature or take shortcuts to get what we want, when we want it.

Take some time this week to unplug from the screens and look up to the feathered friends that show us how simple life can really be.

Travel Unencumbered

Travel light.
There is a mentality that we need to be prepared, and consumerism tells us that to be prepared we need "stuff" in case of an emergency.

Travelling light is a better option, it allows you to be agile and maneuverable if there arises any emergency.

This week think of the items that you cary with you on a daily basis, keys, phone, pens, wallet, snacks and ask yourself one question: "Is this weighing me down, or serving me on my daily journey?"

For me, eliminating a card or two from my wallet, or getting a smaller wallet is a victory.

Eliminate keys you don't need and items you never use.

Soon you will feel light as a feather as you travel light.
