And consequently to be patient with myself as I go through a really difficult time. I find that very difficult--I set my expectations too high, and then judge myself for not living up to them. So I want to just allow myself to be where I am, and be patient and not judge. Again, not get caught up in the emotions of it. Thanks for the touching and really honest post.

Thought I would share my post on CCOR. "Day 7 and only my second entry. I visit the site quickly every day but what happens? Too busy. Too busy so I get stuck and feeling like I can't accomplish anything for me. I think about my goals and intentions but no action. So, the first week has been an eye-opener. I have all the info, I have the ideas and goals (just added clarification to two of them today!), I know what needs to be done - and then I get stuck. But today started out differently and the way it started impacted my behavior throughout. I read a Twitter post by one of my favorite coaches and writers, Jennifer Louden (www.comfortqueen.com) - "Have you taken the time to connect with how you want to feel at the end of the day. Set an intention and see what happens." I did and my behavior has been driven by that intention all day. I feel better and have accomplished so much more. And I submitted my 2nd blog post! I hope the thought from Jennifer has a positive impact on your day too! Namaste Deena Jen,

Thanks for such authentic and inspirational words. I needed the reminder to stop, notice my "breath breathing me," and live in the moment. There is joy and peace and love all around me. It is beautiful when I stop to notice. Much love, Tonya Hi Jennifer,

Call it serendipity or fate, but I stumbled upon this entry at a much needed time. Thanks for such authentic and inspirational words. I needed the reminder to stop, notice my “breath breathing me,” and live in the moment. There is joy and peace and love all around me. It is beautiful when I stop to notice.

Much love,

My husband and I lived in Los Angeles where we had a wonderful cirlce of friends and I played a lot of music, among other things. We visited Santa Barbara and I loved it. I loved the landscape, the beauty, the artisan fair along the sidewalk. I wanted to move there, but my husband didn't know what he would do. As it was, we had a daughter named Rose in 1992 (meant to have her at home but ended up at the Beverly Hills Hospital. ) And then we moved back to my island home. It feels like you and I may have had quite a few parallels, and maybe even, without knowing, crossed paths. <abbr><em>Ingrid’s last blog post..<a href="http://ingridgoffmaidoff.com/tendingjoy/index.php/2009/04/02/new-souvenirs-from-the-landscape-of-joy/" rel="nofollow">New Souvenirs from the Landscape Of Joy</a></abbr></em> Hi Jen, that post made me so happy, as I remembered my California chapter in life.
