Connection
This morning I am grateful for:
So many wonderful moments and connections on this week-end
The faith that people have in me
A deep knowing that this work changes lives
The number of people willing to drive long distances to be on the TLC week-end
Feeling loved and understood by so many without having to say anything.
Leo having a wonderful time on his adventure even though we missed him
Melissa and Shannon's beautiful song and willingness to stretch and preform at graduation
The Indiana faction and ALL that they do to bring joy and inspiration. The opportunity to have two outdoor lunches with them and hear about their passions.
Sherry for doing a great job with the music and coming up with some great new songs.
Anna for her laughter and giving me credit for manifesting a great new guy for her. You can't really manifest for other people so I didn't do it, but it's fun to think I have that much influence.
Amy for being everyone's good friend.
Missing Sarah on the week-end but knowing that she is going to have a kick ass trip trip to Europe.
Getting such a kick out of having Levi on the week-end and seeing how magnetic he is. In my mind he will always be a little guy with chocolate on his face. Seeing him smile and dance. He so needed that. Thank you ladies.
The excitement that is building around womyn's camp. I can't wait
The work of Cherie Huber and being able to use her techniques a few times on Sunday afternoon.
Letting myself be who I am which is not perfect, I get cranky and sometimes take things personally, I blame other people for my negative feelings. I want to lash out. I want to quit. Through all of this though, I have the awareness that my reactions belong to me and are not caused by someone else (that is the part I am grateful for) I am not doing this from a place of unconscious, unskilled behavior, it is now conscious unskilled behavior, but that's progress.
I do not want to present myself or be seen as someone who always "has it all together" because I'm not. I am grateful that I am human.
Getting a laugh about being described as raunchy.
You, you, you
hugs and kisses

Breath
This fine morning I am grateful for:
Discovering the works of Cheri Huber, reading and listening to podcasts. She has a brilliant mix of zen, sub-personality work and practical life advice. The idea to put together a class at the center to share her with others.
A fun week with our Finnish guests. Seeing Iiris get excited about so many things she had seen in American movies, baseball game, casino, our sub-division which she said reminded her of the SIMS, shopping mall.
My anxiety attack yesterday and my ability to use the skills I have been practicing.
Scott's patience and understanding when I get in that crazy negative thinking.
Scott for handling the details of a reception we are hosting on Friday. My ability to let go and let his level of delegating be ok.
Early morning yoga followed by meditation
Sarah's trip to Europe and how wonderful it feels to "just do it"
Taylor coming home this week-end for Levi's birthday.
Keeping faith that he will find his way and our home can remain a peaceful loving, supportive place.
Some statements on Barb's e-mail that make it sound like Jim Hosler is getting better.
A TLC course with 12 students this month.
Looking forward to teaching two TLC week-ends in a row then heading for Womyn's Camp to relax. woohoo
The absolute abundance I have in my life.
Hugs

Happy Thought for Tuesday 4/10/07
Sometimes it is just better not to know. Never ever ever take a blacklight into a hotel room.
Why this qualifies as a happy thought I have no idea. kisses

Contentment
This morning I am so grateful for:
This glog and the connection it gives me to people I am madly in love with and inspired by.
The power of gratitude.
Levi, it is so nice having him around and he knows how to fix and assemble things
Our exchange student from Finland that lived with us 7 years ago bringing his girlfriend to meet us. The opportunity to re-connect with him and help her get to know America.
Being the proud owner and propietor of the PP hotel/flop house. Scott's parents and Darien in, Scott's parents out, Levi in, Taylor in, Sam's friend Mac in, Mac out, Taylor out, Darien out, Juuso and Liris in. This is within 10 days.
Barb and Jim Hosler for opening the Monroe Global Relationship Center 16 years ago and creating a path for my life vision to flow down.
Vicki White for telling me about UYO 15 years ago. Actually, I listened in on her conversation with someone else and immediatly signed up.
Knowing that the right people will be at the April course and all it takes is vision and spreading the word.
Looking forward to seeing many of you at the April course.
Looking forward to the Womyn's camping trip and loving the blog Michelle created.
Watching Sam and Darien play guitar hero, heads bobbing and getting into it. Them being suprized that we know the songs. It is a course in classic rock as well as a video game.

Abundance
Today I am grateful for:
Feeling like I have so much time to run errands and get things done because Sam is on "Spring Break". Mornings free woohoo
Tiger's opening day festivities- The high energy and excitement that was everywhere down town. Even watching the drunk people dance in the street at two in the afternoon was fun.
Our season ticket seats are awesome.
A beautiful, sunny, clear day for the game and knowing that there are many more to come.
My brother staying with us for a while and knowing that he will find the clarity and peace that he so deserves.
Scott for his generosity and loving heart. He always says "of course" when someone is in need. Over the years we have offered sanctuary to many people and I know that we will always have an open door policy.
The fact that the Podiatry Palace is actually a flop house and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Having Darien here this week for his spring break and listening to the laughter that is an almost constant when he and Sam are together.
A family dinner for Easter. Having a discussion with a jewish friend about how the Last Supper was actually a Jewish ritual as Christ was a jew and it happened before Christianity even existed. This is the friend who gave a toast at Easter last year that went something like this "raise your glasses to our brother J.C."
Having an interest in and feeling a responsibility to teach our kids something about all of the worlds religions. Knowing that there are many paths up the mountain.
Peace of heart and mind
Edename
Early morning yoga
Hot coffee with cream
Having an old fashioned milkman that delivers farm fresh organic milk and cream in glass bottles to our house every week.
The new produce market that opened in Monroe and the wonderful smell when I walked through the door.
You
Hugs
