Chris, Waverly is going to be our guest next month at the Comfort Cafe – so cool you mentioned her! Thanks too for the link.

Here is the link to download the audio clock:

I’m using it as an opportunity to take a deeper breath, check my posture, stretch, look up and out a window (whether I’m sitting at my computer or in the same room with it on) or place my attention on my intention for the month. Will post in the Cafe as well.

What a privilege today was! For me it was such a great mix of restfulness and energy, and I managed to move between the two without feeling anything akin to ‘jet lag.’ Very grateful for that. Thanks for all the energy and support you gave to us (as always), Jen!

Having the most wonderful day – being, doing, surprising myself by asking first that magic question “since i’m already whole and complete, what would be fun to do?” love that word fun.
It’s like “Char has left the building!” – meaning the personality part of me – all those voices that make up who I thnk I am.
Instead, what I find is when I feel like moving – well, I just do it. And when the phone rings as it is right now and I’m typing, it keeps ringing til it stops. And it just does. And the cats are looking out the window at the rainbursts we’re having today – and life feels very simple and easy.
Hmmmm – wonder what’s for dinner. No rules today – or maybe ever for that matter – and I find that what I want is sauteed spinach and steak. Ohh, no – says some voice somewhere – steak, how could you Char? You’re an animal lover. Don’t you know that. . . . . I bow to that voice and promise to get back to it another time, but not now.
I’m off to do the next thing which will be a surprise to me – whatever it is. Used to be when I had depression, indecision was a big problem. Now, I always remember the words of Leslie Sansonne who does these walking dvd’s (it’s actually low impact aerobics) who says “you can’t do this wrong.”
And that seems to be my motto lately – I just can’t do life wrong. How totally liberating and fun! And there’s that word again – fun!!!!!
Love to all of you across the miles as we share this special experience together regardless of technology!

Eva, what great revelations! Be gentle with yourself as you discern between desire (What would I love to do next in my life?) and mood (What do I feel like doing?) I think mood is what can keep us stuck where it is safe. Lots of love!
