I have a friend who is an entrepreneur. She does not feel like her family needs to invest themselves in her business. She wants to find out what kind of business they might like to start and invest in helping them make their dreams come true. I myself still want to lose that twenty pounds, but mostly I want to put together a meaningful presentation on Teresa of Avila for the spiritual direction class and I want to maintain my journal of meaningful encounters with God. I want to become more comfortable with silence with God. I want to become detached enough from people’s opinions of me (positive or negative) , accepting the contradictions in myself and in them, so that I can respond with presence more of the time (higher batting average).
