CAIM – Circle Of Safety

CAIM – Circle Of Safety




         At a recent conference the speaker used the phrase “CAIM – Circle Of Safety”, and that stuck with me.  The “Circle of Safety” can also be seen as our Support Group to encourage us to make progress.

         Feeling safe in a zone is a calming sensation taking us to unimagined heights that give such soothing sentiments.  CAIM also means sanctuary, a space that people can come to seeking shelter from storms of various kinds as they barrage our lives.

         Being amidst friends can be enlightening for our psyche and builds up our attitude with a sense of gratitude.  The inclusion in a safe circle gives a feeling that is so uplifting and brightens perspectives.

         A Support Group is beneficial for all participants to boost one another in ways to give such needed encouragement.  We all require connection to be raised by those near to our path.

         Having foreign words with meaning may shine into our lives greatly, plus allow us opportunities for sharing blessings.  Our inner circle is tighter than we’ve anticipated with a reach that’s incredible.  Bond, then share!

The Unserious ______! (Gardener)

The Unserious ______! (Gardener)



         In “Soul Gardening” by Terry Hershey, “The Unserious Gardener” is a phrase he used.  The “Unserious ______” struck me as a term that‘s fitting  many possible characteristics.

         Maybe our involvement in various situations is too serious at times as we consider being, but then there is a moment when we laugh out loud at a thing about us.  A humorous reflection of ourselves brings such levity to our viewpoint, and smiles to joy-filled spaces.

          Getting inspiration from other’s thoughts and words gives us a boost toward energizing our efforts to incredible heights.  If we take an unserious approach then a jovial perspective is such a possibility.

         That newer insight reveals amazing characteristics not envisioned yet now open for our consideration.  Our capacity to blossom in environments wherever we’re planted is magnificently valuable.

         Having an “Unserious” approach to whatever field applies can make a world of difference in our attitude toward so many things.  It is quite easy to spill the light with the right viewpoint helping us.  LOL at yourself!

Be The Reason ……!

Be The Reason ……!



         There are many people that rely on us as their Support Group, so we have an incredible responsibility to be an influencer to those in our midst. A way to inspire others is be involved in their lives as the best version of the us we have become.

         In each chance we’re afforded to be involved in someone’s life, there are many facets of how we could contribute toward their wellbeing.  Being a part of people’s lives can make the difference in raising them to heights that are so incredible and phenomenal.

         The results of our giving would lift the self-esteem of another to levels as they receive the gifts from us.  The presents we bestow must be opened and put to good use for effective benefit.

         As people struggle through their challenges they need guidance to be progressive in achieving the best results possible.  Having a person stand a lot closer is the boost needed to get us over those humps we may think as  beyond fixing.

         We all need reasons to be hopeful and hope-filled as signs to look up toward brighter senses and be able to spill our light.  Being a reason some people smile can give us a good feeling about ourselves, and we could get the sensation that picks up our self-esteem.  Be reflective, be a gift!

Boiling ______, Obscures

Boiling ______, Obscures



         Buddha said, “You cannot see your reflection in boiling water.  Same is you cannot see the truth in a state of anger. When the water calms clarity comes.”  When we’ve reached a point of stability, we can focus clearly.

         As we’re amidst turmoil it is hard to be able to sense what is real, if what seems solid isn’t all it appears to be.  Having blinders on may block our viewpoint from giving us truth toward the right perspective.

         Dealing with anything that obscures our undivided attention gets in the way of becoming an advantaged place.  The bubbling up could defer any true notion we might have in favor of misdirection.

         There are so many distractions we face and have to sift through the muck to be able to determine that which looks real.  If the negativity gets in the way of picking out authentic facts, then we are wandering about without an anchor to steady us.

         To have a clear image of ourselves that gives us hope, then reflecting with clarity, we must ask the right questions and get honest answers.  Calm and cool viewpoints let us progress to greater heights.  Be real, and share!

It Begins With Us!

It Begins With Us!



         The start of it all is within each of us as the seed toward the growth and blossoming to fruition.  We have such potential to become the valued components necessary for inspiring others to be the best version of them.

         Our transitions to accomplish phenomenal deeds takes practice and effort with dedication to the craft we’re set upon.   Focusing on whatever we need to build us up in the necessary direction for any future we’re trying to make happen can be beneficial.

         The inspiration to begin our pursuits may have varied sources, but it instilled in us a drive to reach for the incredible gifts presented.  Grab onto all we can along the way, as opportunities being handed to us may be few.

         We and us has some beginning point, the starting place of a beyond ourselves mindedness.  Trust and belief in another is significant to growth that helps to develop vital characteristics.

         To reach heights we aspire toward relying on our Support Group can be the needed move getting us there.  Starting that race is the key factor a person requires and the motivation to advance in the necessary directions. The inspiration to be energized with power to brighten our path shines that we may share it with others.  Increase the “US”, build the community!

Elsewhere And Otherwise

Elsewhere And Otherwise





         There are so many choices of places to go and things to do that we face in life as options.  Making our decisions could be a tedious journey as we sift through all that is laid before us.

         The placement of being somewhere else minded and other focused is to be distracted, possibly into oblivion.  We may be sensing thoughts that’re clouding our judgement in ways maybe unimagined.

         In various directions we are being led with the options to choose from that fill our minds, sometimes to the overflowing point.  The elsewhere and otherwise characteristics can be overwhelming at times giving us fits in how to handle the situations.

         The back and forth process could toss us quite a challenge in making an answer feasible, as well as comfortable to digest.  Reaching out to and relying on our Support Group may be uplifting for our self esteem.

         Having people to talk to would help us reach incredible heights and a source of encouragement in getting to a stable point.  Any change with the issues gives us some relief to focus toward.  Be positively centered.

Wonderful To Wonder-Full

Wonderful To Wonder-Full


         Our lives may contain so much wonder, maybe even to the point of wonderful and wonder-full.  The amazement we are facing could be filling us beyond any imaginings we’ve envisioned.

         Such sparkly perspectives lend magnificent viewpoints that share in brighter challenges as they raise us to tremendous places.  Wonder-ing is not necessarily questioning, but sensing something phenomenal, taking us to unforeseen experiences.

         As we receive the presents offered to us, they must be unwrapped as well as put to good use to feel the gain.  The ‘ful to -full movement would be the transition needed to change our focus to a more effective point.

         The wonder allowing blossoming growth may be enchantment toward super results, and eye-opening joys.  For us to shine and spill light to those brought near, is an incredible gift bestowed.

          Realizing the uplifting process is heartening as we may otherwise be overwhelmed by situations encountered.  The Wonders can mean so much for us in progressing to terrific levels.  Be wondering, be adventurous!

Relentless Pressure To Arrive Somewhere

Relentless Pressure To Arrive Somewhere


         We’re forever being prodded to move forward in our journey to reach the next goal and be at that relevant someplace.  We have much inspiration to get going, but sometimes it might become overwhelming.

         Maybe we need to slow down and enjoy our surroundings with gusto beyond the normal pace.  Feeling rushed adds pressure significantly to our psyche and weighs on us tremendously.

         There is insanity in how we’re influenced to accomplish the tasks we face and all we endure.  For us to reach the goals attempted there is such anxiety brought to our midst.

         Being given the thoughts and words to raise us to incredible heights could be the needed spark to challenge us in helpful ways.  Somewhere we are looking to for progress may be just the direction that we need to shine.

         As we strive to do all things possible the fragile things about us make what was thought untouchable, within reach.  Our arrival at “somewhere” is cherished as that perfect place adorned with sparkles.  So serene!
