Wright http://charlenecostanzo.com/ask-for-a-bigger-plate/#comment-6442 Carol D. Wright Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:52:18 +0000 http://charlenecostanzo.com/?p=1400#comment-6442 Thank you for sharing your insightful thoughts with us!  WOW!  I love this blog, in fact I loved them all.  I don't know how I missed them before.  This latest one is exactly what I needed to read.  It puts a different perspective on my overbusy-ness.  I love what you say about asking God to soften my limitations and expand my capacity.  What came to mind when I asked myself what my current plate looks like is a small overflowing, heaped and jumbled plate. It feels powerful, expansive, and honoring to visualize a beautiful large platter with the positive things I want in my life, artfully arranged with sacred space around them.  In fact, I have a large, gorgeous platter stored away that I will display in my home, and arrange on it symbolic items that represent what I'd like in my life.  I never got around to making a vision board, but I'm very excited about creating a vision plate! Thank you for inspiring me, Charlene!

I just went, Ha -- ask for a bigger plate! Yes, that certainly makes sense. I also love the words "expand my territory". Our choir actually sings a song that includes that phrase. And for me, the "bigger plate", is not about taking on more stuff to do, but to really expand myself within, spiritually and mentally -- to know myself as a spiritual being deeper and more solid in my faith. Thank you, Charlene. I love this blog — I have been feeling very busy and overwhelmed and have made the statement that my plate is so full right now. I just went, Ha — ask for a bigger plate!

Besides work, I go to the gym 3-4 nights a week, have one date night weekly with my beloved partner, take a Spanish class, and go to my meditation center on Sundays. I am really content. As I have gotten older I have realized doing less really is more. I feel more expansive and vibrant.

I always take the same route and there is a multitude of trees and plants along the way. Yesterday morning, there was a slight breeze which made the trees sway and the leaves whistle. I was completely captivated, so I sat on the nearest rock, closed my eyes and had a 5 minute meditation in the beauty of my presence.
