Mindfulness in everyday

sometimes the moments in life appear like we are looking through a tinted window. we often neglect to see the related patterns in our life, the seemingly small and inconsequential moments that are interlinked and that send us a constant message about our future and the path we are on.
small events like repetition of a number throughout the day or a song being heard more than once (well, on the radio that is a regular occurence if you listen to the same station long enough), speak to something we should be more aware of.
in my previous life i worked in the filed of advertising and graphic arts. a rewarding career for some time in my life, but disillusionment, a need to change my life and not seeing it caused pain and sorrow in my life.
a small voice spoke, actually it was a recommendation that a residential treatment program for adolescents were looking for employees. i could have ignored the small voice, but the catalyst for change had me by the throat.
walking into the building brought the change that lasted for twenty years... it brought me through college and grad school, a new and sometimes frightening insight into human behaviors... mine included... looking back it has been a strange and fantastic trip, and still amazing me each day.

keep your eyes open, there is more to witness and experience than you have ever imagined.
