Our Ears Are Wide Open! We Need Your Voice!






 






I expect to be less scheduled and more spontaneous. I am entering a mode of discovering life- not just living in the same old routines.









 







Expectations. That is tough.

I have a giant worry that the US is following 1920s Germany, sleepwalking into dictatorship. I know from history it was “friends, family, and neighbors” that turned people over to camps and death.

So, my expectation is to pray and work hard so that this doesn’t happen. I love this country and its people and would like to live out my days in peace amongst its people.


 








My “Great Expectations” are to live a life of freedom. Free from fear, free from worry, and free to do whatever I damn well please.

— I expect to wake up in the morning smiling because I got another day.

— I expect to enjoy life to the fullest.

— I expect to respect and be respected.

— I expect a life filled with love, laughter, and fun.


 




Expectations...well, they can be loaded. My statement about expectations is this: Expectations are invitations to frustration. They can be a danger zone in relationships unless everyone involved clearly understands and is on the same page. It requires good, clean, and clear communication. When we place expectations on someone or even ourselves, we should be clear about the desired outcomes. To do otherwise is to invite a misunderstanding and bruised feelings. 


Energetically, to have an expectation is putting your hand out in the Universe with an anticipated goal. It's great when it works out, but when it doesn't, it makes us feel neglected or, worse, taken advantage of. The error on our part is to anticipate something positive from an unspoken expectation. If we want to honor ourselves and everyone we are in a relationship with, we must be clear in our needs, desires, and hopes.  We cannot be upset with someone who doesn't meet our expectations when we never align our collected intentions. Be good to yourself and those in the community with you. Be kind. Be clear. Be open.
