I know what I love – thanks for your list Helga, it brought tears to my eyes (see her comments on my last post).

I know that when I read a post on the Inner Organizer message boards tonight about how a IO user who is truly benefiting from the process, I thrummed with happiness. I wanted to tell the world about the IO process.

I know planning for my retreat this weekend has me wide awake with excitement at 11 pm. I look at my other upcoming events and I think, "YAHOO! I can’t wait to be with women and create a safe opening for them to see how perfect they are, to see their gifts."

I know when I read this email today from Carla, I felt amazed and stunned:
"… you guide me along pathways I didn’t know existed (hello blinders!) into and through my creativity, life and Self.  You not only make it safe, you help me see the delightful necessity of birthing my creative offerings to the world.  You show me possibilities, and you hold them utterly sacred.  Sometimes I see you like a snake charmer (that may not be the right metaphor!), cajoling, beckoning, laughing, inviting, dancing slowly backwards while I move forward towards your invitation to be, live, do, dance.  Your constant belief in me helps ME believe in me."  Which echoes what Helga wrote, "’Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may
not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.’ You switch back and
forth between these, sometimes taking the lead, sometimes following,
and always as an authentic person akin to a friend."

I know when I can be present, I can create an opening for women to see themselves in all their glory.

I know – okay, I think – this dialog I’m in isn’t about change – It’s about articulation and seeing and talking clearly about what I do.  It’s about organizing it and communicating it in a way that I haven’t been able to do before.

And it’s about taking a stand in the world. If busyness and overwhelm are part of the reason we haven’t marched on Washington and turned a hose on the Burning Bush, then perhaps comfort is one way we will find the energy and strength to ask, "What won’t I stand for anymore?"

I bored with asking and ready to get away and focus on loving everyone at Kripalu.  I’d also adore hearing how you have articulated your creative offers in the world or how I can be of service to you?

PS – Two great suggestions to notice: one from Mark Silver "…the key here is to pray in your heart for help in receiving
your own jewel- receiving the Comfort first which will carry you to the
truth, rather than trying to go for the truth directly."

and from Michele, Have you done a Soul Collage card to honor the energy present? That action always helps me move things along."

I’ll be doing these this weekend!
