Have you ever had an emergency in your home or on your job that required you to leave in a hurry?  Or maybe you’ve been in a fire drill where you were instructed to ‘leave everything’ and exit the building? Or do you wonder why airlines instruct passengers to ‘leave everything’ in the event of an emergency landing? 

Having lived through fires, floods, storms, and both medical and travel emergencies all that mattered was staying safe, and keeping those around me safe.  The priority was to get out of harm’s way and into a safe place – to be able to move quickly and calmly while also avoiding getting in the way. 

This is impossible to do if we are preoccupied with preserving’our stuff’.  Not only are our hands too full to help anyone else, but we can potentially do the exact opposite!  

Emergencies teach us how to:

Pack Light!

What we learn during emergencies is instructive for us.  Deciding what’s necessary and setting aside what is not, is a healthy practice for all of us – not just for our sake but for the sake of others.  Get it?

What might we be holding onto that may be hindering us or blocking another’s path? Do we have the will to let it go? In a real way, our lives can depend on these choices.

Pack Light!

Good Morning, I love you all!
