Has it been a crazy week? Feeling a bit overwhelmed and discombobulated?
Here, have a SloDo.1
SloDos are an invitation to mindful communication, an opportunity to open channels of awareness within ourselves, between each other, and with the divine. Grab your favorite note-taking tools, pop in some background music (or not!), and take a few minutes to turn aside from all the busy noise and listen for the clear signal. Here’s this week’s prompt.
Think back over your recent conversations.
When did someone else’s words or actions reveal something about your own sense of purpose—either affirming it or challenging it?
How did their clarity (or confusion) about their own direction serve as a mirror for your own?
What did you find most helpful in this reflection? Most challenging?
Let this prompt invite you to notice how purpose shows up in the ordinary exchanges of daily life, as something revealed through our willingness to be truly present to ourselves and others in conversation.
Let’s be hopeful, creative, and wise—together.
Shalom,
SLODO noun THING (📢 slow-dough): a reminder to slow down, pay attention, and practice mindful communication.
Being formed into the person we want to become asks that we get to know ourselves, and allow ourselves to be truly known by others. SloDos provide a short break to help you gain some perspective on interactions and conversations from the last few days.
Also: I work from within the Christian tradition, and understand the divine as the trinity of father, son, and spirit. That said, I know we all have different ways of understanding the divine, so if you wish to insert [other] when I use that phrase, please feel free to do so.
