Inner Peace Guided Meditation for the Whole Wide World ~ Sunday October 20 2024

Group Meditation at 7 pm PDT, 8 pm MDT, 9 pm CDT, 10 pm EDT

Another week has flown by and the World seems to be balanced on a very fine edge between "just crazy" and "more crazy".

We are living in "interesting" times.  For me, that means I am called to be more aware, use my powers of discernment as fully as possible, and keep up with my spiritual practices.

One of the ways I protect my sanity is to look for systems or programs out in the world that are working.  One of my favorite examples is Florida Power and Light.

I have good friends scattered around Florida.  They all survived the 2 hurricanes with minimal damage, even though they lost power and had high winds and rain.  One of my friends who lives in Alachua County had very high winds and rain.  They lost power, but it was back on within 4 hours!

Florida Power and LIght was on the job!  They have an excellent record for customer service and emergency response times.  They were the first company outside of Japan to win the Deming Prize for quality management in 1989.  This prestigious award is based on implementing Total Quality Management Sytems developed by Edward Deming.  TQM systems were designed for ongoing product and service improvement, greater employee involvement and safety, and consistent customer satisfaction.  FLP had to score consistently high in all these categories in order to win the Deming Prize.  They have continued to develop these systems.

For me, Florida Power and Light is a great example of a system that is working.  It works for the people at FLP as well as for all their customers.  Whenever there are storms, or tornadoes, or hurricanes. I think about the linemen everywhere who are out in all kinds of weather, climbing poles, wrangling electric wires, and in many cases putting their lives on the line so people will have electricity and be safe in their homes.

I think when the whole world "seems" to be in tail-spin, we tend to forget how many good people are doing their jobs every day.  We get focused on blaming people rather than being aware that we all work within systems.  Some of these "systems" are working, like Florida Power and Light.  Other systems are way out of date and may have been in place since the Ice Ages.

Yes, the world is definitely "wobbling" on its axis.  Are we adding to the wobble or helping to create balance?  Are we adding to the anger and frustration, or generating Peace, Coherence, and Creative Solutions?  Remember, we are the Ones we have been waiting for ... !!!

So, thank you for showing up!  Thank You for doing your meditations and spiritual practices!  And, thank you for all the Good you do every day!

Have a Wonderful Week and,

Remember to Breathe ...
