Awakening To The Simple Blessings Of The Now

 
Author: Brad Swift

Well, it continues to amaze me how wonderful life can be when I allow myself to simply be present to NOW. My life of late has taken on a particularly beautiful glow to it, in part because of a renewed commitment to being present.

For example, on Thursday I asked my daughter, Amber, to fix dinner for the three of us, since her mom and I have an evening class we facilitate. Well, did she ever fix dinner! A full 3-course meal including a luscious soup, a delectable chicken dish topped off with sumptuous strawberries dipped in dark chocolate. I was so proud and pleased by how well she took on her cooking assignment that it made the meal that more delicious.

Then, this morning as I took my walk around the Bonclarken Lake I stopped along the path to watch a flock of geese come in for a landing. The beauty brought tears to my eyes. Even my two dogs were stopped in their tracks in amazement.

What can I say? Life is good right now. I feel very blessed and I am grateful for the opportunity to share it with you.

Author Bio:

Brad Swift

As a writer, I've written well over 300 magazine articles for a diverse assortment of magazines including Omni, Entrepreneur, New Age Journal, Yoga Journal, Utne Reader, Unity Magazine, Better Homes and Garden, Modern Maturity, and many others. I'm also a regular contributor to Veterinary Economics. (Yes, I still have a special place in my heart for animals.) My books include, WINNING THROUGH COACHING: Building Your Business Through Building Your Team and TRAVELING THE PURPOSEFUL PATH ? 6 Passages to an Inspired Life on Purpose.

As a public speaker, I lead programs on life purpose that are customized to fit such diverse groups as churches, spiritual centers, civic and professional organizations. The principles of these programs are also available in the 12-week teleclass, Living the Fulfilled Life. From these programs participants bring more focus to their life, experience a renewed sense of fulfillment, and lighten up and have more fun. Out of this focus, fulfillment, and fun emerges an ability to maintain balance in their life and a deeper appreciation for living.

One of my all time favorite ways of expressing my purpose is as a life purpose coach. I find the intimacy and creativity of one-on-one coaching to be a breathtaking experience. The select group of people who are my clients are very special to me, and with them I am constantly creating new facets of life purpose coaching that are then incorpoated into the other programs.

In short, the focus of my life is life purpose. From living on purpose, I've been blessed with an extraordinary life in which I am satisfied and fulfilled. My wife, Ann, and I share our redwood chalet home in the "Paradise Found" of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with our daughter, Amber, and a menagerie of purposeful and playful pets.
