Antonia's interpretation of a different spiritual word each day. Some of the words are funny and some are highly personal. It was her desire to increase her spirituality throughout the year by doing this every day.

Two stand stronger and smarter than one. My connection to others

4. Epiphany
Sometimes my brilliant ideas and realizations are hilarious. At least I’ve

exactly on point.

How many times have you settled for less than all the glorious, thrilling,
and rewarding abundance that is your birthright?

6. Pretty
“Pretty is as pretty does.” Boy, that’s a flash back to my childhood! Today
‘pretty’ is prettier when mixed with compassion, honesty, intelligence, being
funny, etc.

16. Up
My head seems always down…at my computer, my book, the road, a

17. Alchemy
“…is an influential philosophical tradition whose early practitioners' claims to
profound powers were known from antiquity,” (Wikipedia). All the
information about this complex but interesting subject could fill a football
stadium.

18. Left
Funny how such a simple word can have such divergent meanings…like
“…as in behind…” or “…a liberal political party,” to name a couple.

19. Judgment
To me, the only people who can judge are those who have ALL the
information (which is usually NO one). Now when I see something I’m likely
to judge, I think, “There must be more going on than I know about.”

20. Nirvana
The word literally means "blown out" (as in a candle) and refers, in the
Buddhist context, to the stillness of mind after the fires of
desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished. Cool!

One of my bosses cautioned me, “Never wear red as it incites anger in
the client.” Where do we GET this stuff?????

Do we need to spend time proving stuff?

24. Technology
I use it to solve a problem, improve a preexisting solution to a problem,

function or create the most intense brain fry.

To do, to perform either genuinely or falsely.

26. Bored
Really? Is there nothing to do, see, experience that can’t bring a sense of
being in this world? Sometimes for me it’s creative and inspiring and
sometimes it’s just to pass the time. But I can’t remember the last time I was
bored.

Be sorry and move on. Learn and let go. To stay in the ‘sorry’ place
impedes progress and growth.
