Fellow Travelers
I'd like to say all is well...well...it is. Although I am still with tooth. Went in today for my extraction and was informed that this was a consultation and the extraction would be next week...ah, yes, the system. Bring me in to tell me what I already know I need and charge handsomely for the 8 minutes of "yup, that's what you need". Then... send me out to the desk to set up the earliest appointment, Friday after next. I must say, I was not happy. Even applying all the breathing and flowing I could I still had to allow the frustration with old ways and such manners of disrespect to surface after I left.... The only way they picked it up in the office was a slightly elevated BP and heart rate...which they chalked up as common nerves about the visit. Sigh...
I feel particularly frustrated that although I was gone at the appointment for several hours with travel, that I was not compromised to do the sessions. Looking, however, at the big perspective I see that the adjustment in the format was necessary and that is why it unfolded. I will be facilitating the sessions next Tuesday and Wednesday just like I established...and I will have the extraction on Friday, the 18th.
And, am I in discomfort...yes, but not enough to be moved to an earlier appointment. I do not want to feign a more amplified condition to get in as I may just manifest one...given that the energies of manifesting are speeding up. And, I just received two new books of great relevance for this Session One and am digging in. I love the flow....though some times it sure can be a pain in the ass...
Blessings and lots of Love to the Oral Surgeon

I have tried to post something on this blog twice and it doesn't post/publish. Just another thing to love about technology, I guess. Linda
ReplyDeleteHmmm...did you do something to make this one appear? As I write this I see the blue publish box at the bottom left. I will press that and see if it posts...and are you putting in a new entry or responding to one from me or the others? We shall find a solution...
ReplyDeleteIt's OK Mark. It seems I can post from my laptop but not my phone. SO what I wanted to say was your post reminded me of the story of the little boy digging in a pile of manure convinced that there must be a pony in all this ...
ReplyDeleteI liked that you modelled for us feeling the feeling, then looking for the gift. The comment about not feigning a more intense condition struck a chord with me. So Thanks, Linda
Aug 10: After a marathon 2500 mile, 42-hour trek from Encinitas, California to Harbor Springs, Michigan at the beginning of this week, it's good to have the luxury of time to process the process. So many lessons along the way--reminders of the endless beauty of nature, the variety of vistas and weather patterns, birds, foliage, and wildflowers; friendly faces even in the most derelict of gas stations; strangers willing to jumpstart a battery after a stop to clean up a rather messy accident; and the patience required as two collie dogs needed to eliminate themselves in alternating twenty minute schedules up the I-15 from San Bernardino through Grand Junction.
ReplyDeleteAug 13: I began this blog post several days ago, interrupted before finishing and posting. My, how things have shifted through this weeks journey as I face head-on family of origin patterns, and heavy emotions. Parents, siblings, old houses, old generational land, all in various states of disrepair and demise. What a perfect backdrop to embrace Living As If, to use the tools, to trust, and to notice drops of Divinity in each situation. My angels and guides on all levels are very busy indeed. I am particularly grateful for the deer, my spirit animal and guide, for appearing at poignant moments just to remind me of my true self. I look forward to hearing from and learning about each of you on this Living As If journey. Until then, endless blessings.

Such an adventure...when are you heading west? And I need some help on getting this blog so others can post without just responding to me. Believe we are talking tomorrow. Maybe an insight...
DeleteBlessings everyone!
ReplyDeleteI have just returned from cottage country, the only place where upon arrival, my 'to do' lists fade and I am ready to play. Filled with memories of my childhood summer vacations while there, I found myself searching again for monarch butterfly eggs on milkweed leaves. The universe delivered and I found a few to bring home and raise into butterflies. (the eggs haven't hatched yet.) The relationship between the monarch and the milkweed plant is truly a wonder. Eastern monarch breed in the summer through three generations, and then fly south to Mexico to overwinter. They return north in the spring to the place they were born. They find milkweed where they lay their eggs, which hatch into caterpillars, who feed on the leaves before molting into crysalids, which are the exact colour of the milkweed leaf from where they suspend. A few weeks later a butterfly emerges, dries its wings, and starts to fly! Ever notice how in fields where cows and sheep pasture, often the only non-eaten plant remaining in the field is the tall-standing milkweed for the monarch to find.
I thought about our "Living As If" principle: all other earthly creatures like we as humans, are gifted with the cosmic design containing all the memories, skills, energy and resources to live and flourish. And I realize that up until now, nature is sometimes so familiar to me that I do not notice it anymore. A first intention-- to go outside every day and notice something new in my backyard.
Have a great week everyone. I so look forward to your comments and expecially hearing of any insights which grab you by the short and curlies..
