YES!!! YOU MAY!!!

May I?
Yes you May!

The word “May” is an interesting one in that it is the name of THIS month as well as a word which is used in everyday speech related to balance of action ……it eludes to both the asking…………… or taking of something …………….and the granting or giving of it.

Asking…… “May I have a cookie?” Granting ……. “Yes, you May!”

The word has power in that it Gives….and Takes.
As people, WE give and take.

Balance this out and you win every time.

“You have to spend money to make money”
“ It’s a give and take”

We hear these phrases all the time, phrases that suggested balance in the give and take of power or in creating fairness or some sense of equality. Take too much….you become over stuffed, heavy, and burdened. Give too much you become weak, exhausted, drained. We see in the news every day what TAKING too much leads to – greed and the role it played this financial crisis. We also see the starvation and suffering that results from not GIVING enough.

Join me this month “journaling” this month of “MAY”. Let’s explore our own ability to give and take…… ask for and grant. Are you the mom who always GIVES and takes little for herself? Are you the selfish child who always takes and does not share? Or are you balanced? As you journal and the pattern reveals itself….. Ask yourself …what can I do to make a shift in my own life to better balance the give and take. You “MAY” find a new way to conduct your life.
