On a walk with God this week, the inspiration to start a new twitter account came to me. Day Dream With God. (www.twitter.com/daydreamwithGod) I made the commitment to tweet a minimum of 24 times per day between Aug 12 and Sept 11. One per hour. I am using Hootsuite to schedule most of the tweets in advance. The tweets are devoted to inspirations from spiritual leaders, music, art, billboards, bumper stickers, and inspirational quotes.
The first time I remember using the words, Day Dream with God was sitting at my friend Kate Foley's house. We were sitting at her dining room table drinking coffee at 6:30am. I described the way I felt about opening to inspiration. I called it Daydreaming with God. As I was getting ready to leave Baltimore in January I wrote: I am leaving the safety and comfort of my home and community to go out into the world and explore life in a new way. I am Daydreaming with God, Opening to Inspiration, and Living a Life Worth Celebrating.
I have been actively daydreaming with God for 8 months. I have meditated, walked, trusted, listened, opened and waited. I set a boundary with friends and family that has limited phone contact as I peel away layers to discover the new parts of me that want to emerge. I spend more time in silence than ever before. In my commitment to allow a new part of me to emerge, I am finding the path one step at a time.
Now, when I daydream with God, it is God's voice and my voice. When I feel squirmy and fearful and doubting, it takes less time to find a centered place within me. I am learning to filter and find the inspirations. I see the discomfort as a sign I am stretching and continuing to grow.
After 6 days of tweeting on the day dream with God account, another inspiration came to me. It was a wake up call. I have been ignoring something I am passionate about. The Care of Mother Earth.
A dream, a vision I received on July 7, 2007 on a mountain in Aspen has been reawakened. Teach 10,000 families and organizations to use Shaklee Get Clean Kits by Dec 2011.
Over the next few Mondays, I will share the vision, why this has emerged now and continue with sharing about the care of Mother Earth.
Step 1-Write a blog about the inspiration. Every Monday, this blog will be devoted to the environment.
Step 2- Find 10 people who will commit to finding 10 people in 10 months to use the Shaklee Get Clean Kits.
I am grateful to be awake! See you on Monday!
Day dreaming with God,
Andrea
