Today we're considering blooming in the frame of our vocational life and how the search for holy ground often begins right under our feet.

Here are some resources I hope will help you consider your own blooming life:

1. When it comes to our vocations, do we each have a destiny or are we all floating around accidental-like on a breeze? Spiritual teacher Forrest Gump reminds us: maybe it's both. (Each experience brings you to the next as you find and gather the work of your life.)

2. Conversations with God journal prompts:

What work or activity is life-giving to me these days?

What are my gifts?

How might I use my experiences and talents to help someone else on their road?
