Being Expectant Is Not The Same As Having Expectations

from Unreasonably Grateful · host Terces Engelhart

One of the easiest ways to tap into what it is like to be expectant is to recall Christmas Eve as a child. Remember going to bed early so the morning would come more quickly? If your family didn’t celebrate Christmas, perhaps it was a birthday, or a summer vacation, something you looked forward to and couldn’t wait for to happen. Let’s look at the difference between having expectations and being expectant, the outcomes are very different.Thank you for being here; you matter.I am offering sessions on Tuesday mornings.
