Sanctifying Connections

Paying Attention is My Best Investment in the Future July 24, 2008
“…to share his part of the secret of heaven: that each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories , but the stories are all one.” From Five People You Meet in Heaven By Mitch Albom. It was number two on the bestseller list says a lot about how connected with each other we wish to be.

Time to pick up the talking stick and tell the next part of the tale. It’s the ritual retelling that sanctifies the memory itself. Ah, the moment of choice, so many stories. So many ways to look at the same event.
Of times The Answers to:
Who Are You? I am who ever I want to be.
What’s happening? –What I choose to create.
What am I doing here? –Sanctifying this moment.
Now sanctifying, to set apart for sacred use, to purify, consecrate, to make holy, implies that a moment may not be holy, that an effort is needed. Or does it imply that biased or fixed attention is doing the sanctification? Who am I choosing to be, is what creates the sanctity.
One day, long ago in a far away galaxy (creation) a moment, a process, connections became so real, our being was touched so deeply, that I believe I can make this moment holy, by remembering, reminding, recalling, other’s with whom I’ve created connection.

We pay most of the mortgage from the beauty world. We are somewhere inside or outside a sphere orbiting from vanity to healing, where the outside reflects the inside, where beauty is only skin deep, & where beauty is from the inside out. These are baby steps into the world of change.
We are falsification, image creation, a fight against aging, enhancements and distractions, human art, and we believe we are more than labels; we are a way of being.
We offer stimulation, possibility, kindness, a warm touch, and a chance to change without pain. We listen, are interested, educated on our services and guarantee our work. Compassion, patience, perseverance, creativity are tools that sanctify our services. (serve us)
With attention and a touch on the client we ask,
“Tell me about yourself.”
“How is that working out for you?
“Is there anything you would alter or change?”
We bridge beauty and beliefs.
What are we being?
Is it an old or new story of profit or presence that inhibits the spread of good news?
Is the tension & drama of this or that necessary to gain attention?
Where is the continuity of our creation?
How can we be what we say we are?
