Available to Attention
​

I worked this week with a client who works from home. Prior to the session I had the privilege of breakfast time with the family which included a 3-year-old and a 9-month-old.

What had my attention was observing the patience and undivided attention that is present as a child in our early months and years.  I observed the parents respect and honor that presence with their attunement being careful not to interrupt their child’s moment.

The allowing I observed touched my heart.  The parents were completely engaged, fully present, listening and being with their children.

Missing was the parental tension of over-direction, and the needing to control what the child was doing. There was complete freedom of exploration, curiosity, and respect for their child’s process. I was wrapped in their unconditional loving for each other and their kids.

For me they were demonstrating being complete.done.finished moment to moment. No urgency was present, just moving with patience and being with what is. That is the essence of receiving.

And when our impatience takes over, which it does, the opportunity is to choose to love ourselves back to the present moment. I was allowed to witness a couple of moments of frustration and their willingness to walk right back into what the new moment presented. Thank God for choice and our choosing back into the moment.

As I worked with the client on next actions, I was reminded of the blessing and gift of getting to work with a relaxed focus. That relaxed focus is available once we have clear systems we trust and use, allowing us to let go into being present to what is.

Our full attention is the resource needed for completing and staying open to the informative creativity that is available to us if we are available to it.

My deep gratitude to Lynne Damianos, Publisher, of the second printing of Complete.Done.Finished. Her guidance and partnership was a blessing. It is now available in hardcover both through her publishing partner Silver Street Media and on Amazon.


Martha Invitations

1.  Practice being the observer with your curiosity.
2.  Be willing to listen more and talk less.
3.  Keep your systems current so you can relax into focus.
