Last week, I was listening to a recording of Patti Digh's portion from Jen Louden's wonderful Virtual Retreat.

And on the ca Patti read a poem included in her inspiring book, Life is a Verb: 37 Days to Wake Up, Be Mindful, and Live Intentionally, called God Says Yes by Kaylin Haught.

I love this poem. Both for the sweet way God is talking. And for the reminder the answer is always, always yes.

I so easily forget that.

But what freedom and joy and expansion could be accessed if we recognized the "yes" that is always available to us.

To life: Yes!

To our heart callings: Yes!

To being kind to ourselves: Yes!

Even to the rough spots: Yes!

What would happen to our life if we lived like the answer is always "yes"?

Tell me, what in your life will you give a "yes!" to today?

P.S. Have you seen the movie, Yes Man, with Jim Carrey? "The world is a playground. Somewhere along the way everyone forgets this."
