It occurred to me recently how essential it is that I PAUSE FOR INSPIRATION ON THE JOB! As I Slow Down, Take a Breath, Open to My Helpful Self, and Follow the Unique, Helpful Direction that shows up in the PAUSE, something happens.
A great big GRACIAS to Enrique De La Paz whom beautifully embodies the Pause. Enrique translated the Pause Practice into Spanish!

Read MoreAND ON THE HEARTS OF KELLI AND CATHY AT JORDAN’S PLACE. Robert White and myself traveled to Warrenton, Missouri and met with Kelli and Cathy, two women who started Jordan’s Place. Kelli lost her 17 year-old son Jordan in November 2014 to heroin. It was the first time he had ever tried heroin. These two remarkable women opened up a space in Warrenton where youth ages 13-19 can go to after school from 3pm – 9pm and on weekends, to be kids; A place to go to play, study, be with friends, laugh and be safe – a home for many kids.
These women inspired me. Their love and selflessness is so compelling, so real and practical, so present on earth – as Real Love always is. Like many others these days, they are resonating with the simple, practical, enlightening practice of Pause For Inspiration. They see its value and want to share it with their community. We are happy that Pause For Inspiration will be partnering with Jordan’s Place. VISIT: www.JordansPlace-mo.org.
