Faith's Corner
by Barb
Dec 4, 2009

It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Do you know what that is for me?  Right NOW!

There are no greater teachers in the world for me in enjoying the gift of the present moment, than children -- especially my daughter, Faith.

A couple months ago, I took Faith on her very first backpacking trip.  Jeanne and I went with a group of girlfriends (Yes, our beloved YaYa's!) and their kids.  For them it's like getting together with their cousins - they love it! And as for us YaYa's, well that's a story for another time. ; )

So there I am, sitting on a rock in the middle of the creek, with Faith (6yrs), Reyes (7yrs), and Maia (4 yrs).  We're just sitting there, watching the water go by in the warm October sun.  The kids are taking turns tossing rocks in the creek.

I turn to Faith, and asked, "So what's been your favorite part of the trip so far?"

"Right now," she said.  

Of course I get all choked up and mommy-ish as I join her in embracing that moment.  "How about you, Reyes?"

"Right now," he said.

"Right now," Maia said.

So today, I'm going to follow the example of my greatest teachers.  In this moment, I'm creating the possiblity of being happy and fulfilled like a child.  And my commitment is that in all I do today, I will try to look at the task at hand with curiosity and wonder, happiness and fulfillment, Just Like a Child.

Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Love,

Barb

The Ja Ja’s have joined Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB)! What does that mean? We are feeding the hungry in Africa, we are funding educational programs and providing clean water to those who so desperately need our help, and we are providing micro loans to help them go from survival to empowerment to sustainability! What if you could support yourself and the world at the same time? HUB is a group of humanitarians, leaders, and visionaries committed to co-creating a world of sustainable living for all. I have dreamed of the way of life that HUB offers - all my life. I want to serve, and shine and use my gifts without concern of how I’m going to pay my bills. When we come together in unity to be the change that we want to see in this world, this dream is realized. Visit our HUB page to learn how you can make a living through giving and to connect with inspirational and transformational leaders. www.thejajas.hubhub.org
