Tellin' it like it is...

Hello!

One thing I've learned in the past year or two is the power of asking for/stating what I want. And right now, I want and need rest! This has been an extremely busy year, and at the moment we're still in the midst of packing up the old house, fixing up the new house, and there are still a few weeks of limbo in front of us as we slowly transition to our new space. As such, I'll officially be taking a break from the blog for a few weeks, and I'll *really* be "back in action" in mid-September!

I'll leave you with one thing for now...just a tidbit to chew on:

What is it to "be what you seek"?

TTFN!

Back In Action!

(Note: yet again, blogspot seems to have short-circuited when it comes to paragraph spacing. I apologize for the big block of black text that is today's entry! Arg!)

August is proving to be a challenging, full-spectrum-of-experience month for me. Do you ever have those weeks or months when it seems like so much happens all at once?

I could give you the litany...the laundry list of stuff like long-distance friends visiting, step-father passing away, babies being born, mortgage almost not going through at the 11th hour, etc. etc. etc. But we all have our laundry lists, don't we? And the question is, how do we hold up amidst all the chaos? What is it to remain still, deeply breathing, and at choice within all the noise?

Bliss, I'm guessing, though I've only experienced moments of it! We're all human beans on this crazy ride, trying to figure it out and learn as we go, sharing our gleanings when we can.

Thankfully, my partner Robert seems to be able to "stand in the centre of the fire...and not shrink back" when I'm practically a raving, stress-riddled blob on the floor. And I do the same for him. Sometimes, when he's not here, one of my cats will step up and remind me that it IS possible to have some perspective in the middle of the wildness. "Hey," they seem to say, as they balefully stare, "this moment's just this moment. That's all. Sure, there's a lot of stuff going on right now, but we'll get through it. And no matter what, you'll still get up and feed me in the morning. And you can still scratch my chin right now. There's constancy here, you just need to remember it, and get yourself out of your crazy brain by DOING something! Like scratching me!"

So, speaking of all this and of learning and sharing and growing, one of the things I've just been DOING (thank you, kitty!) is building and posting my new "More In You" storefront, where you can peruse all the groovy partial/whole day workshops and full weekend retreats I have in the offing. They're all designed to help you deepen your insight and awareness of yourself, your habits, your life, and your choices. And you can very easily and securely pay for any and all of the offerings you want to register for right through the site. So check it out!
