A challenge to write about the amish and social media in 10 minutes (or 12)

Sometimes I envy the Amish, because their lives remain very basic. However from what I know about the brain and the human spirit, it was never meant to be kept in a closed limited space.

Sometimes I also envy the “social media guru’s” who can reach out and touch millions of people with one typed in message, video or blog.

How fickle that sounds to want to be part of both worlds…So here is my image of combining the two…..

I would like to live in a community where we all have similar beliefs, and work together for a common goal. Would love to walk the land each day, and swim under a waterfall, and play silly games that do not require any electricity. Would love to go to the garden and gather up dinner and drink milk form a goat or a cow that I just fed by hand. I would love to go to bed at night when it gets dark and get up when the sun comes up feeling like I had worked hard and put in a good days work. I would love to be able to look out my kitchen window and waved to a neighbor, and take them soup when they are ill.

But I also would love to hear about happy moments in China, or what is being discovered in Australia, I would love to wake up and see a picture post from Greece or the Caribbean or Africa, and share that incredible moment of joy with a stranger.

I also would love to share with the world the wonderful moments of discovery that only quiet can bring. I would love to type in a word, a place or a plant and learn all about it, from someone who spends their day doing or being or knowing that thing.

I love simple, and I love basic, but I also love creativity and knowledge and new experiences. I love taking from one thing what helps me to grow and then sharing it with some ones so that they can grow. But I love the earth, the air: the fresh air, the sun the water and all living things… I want both, but don’t want all of both just a little of each.
Thanks to Rumble Bumble Cat for something fun to do on a friday night!

Ramblings about love

Everyday I see what happens when one person reaches out to another. It really only takes one person to make a difference; and when that one person connects to another person, the difference becomes greater. Tribal connections are at the heart and soul of life. And energy that is shared is powerful and wonderful and strong.

When I intend to attract something into my life, I attract it into my life; but when I ask someone or someone volunteers to intend with me, that attraction changes color and speed and intensity. I am amazed every single time it happens.

I love those in my life: who believe in miracles, and who open up to the possibilities of life with me.

I love when I sit down to pray and quiet my mind and some one just pops into my mind, and I smile and love and send love back to them. That in itself is wonderful, but then when several days later I hear about what happen at the moment we were sending and sharing love, I want to deny the joy of participating in that experience. I try to convince myself that I had nothing to do with that,…. except I did. So I do it again, and it happens again, and I feel so much love.

And then one day, I am feeling down, and for no apparent reason at all something happens; the mood flips and I feel different. As time passes I stumble onto or hear that someone was thinking of me, or praying for me just at that moment and sending love to me: and it made a difference. I keep meaning to tell them, but I forget... And then I wake up and remember and sit and write tonight to say thank you for anyone who has sent me love, or sent mankind love, or has sent the earth love, because maybe at some moment I was standing in the right place at the right moment and I just felt it. I think it works just like that.... There is so much we just don't know, but how much do you really need to know except that one moment, one thought one feeling of love... can really make a difference.

I send you love tonight, some of you by name…. I couldn’t sleep, so I prayed…about two hundred names have passed through my heart and mind. Some of you by profession, by community or by tribe….but I have sent love to someone at this moment who needs it… I hope you felt it…If you did… pass it on….someone else needs it too.

And thank you and good night!

I have been called a Pollyanna on many occasions, and criticized for “always being up”. The reality is that I am no different than anyone else. I have bad days and days where I struggle through issues. The difference is however that I am very selective with whom I share those negative moments with.

I believe that once we put that negativity out there: like on face book or twitter of even one to one conversations, then attention is given to it and it can grow.

I share my “bad days” with those who have the ability to transform it into something positive and don’t get caught up in its impact.

Days where I struggle with negative emotion and thoughts are not actually bad days at all, but opportunities to look at an issue that is surfacing, that I might not be aware of.
If I feel sad or angry or afraid, it is because I am in a situation that needs attention.

I do believe to my core that in all things there is a gift, and in every situation there is an opportunity to experience more love. My life has not been lived in an ivory tower, and those who know me understand that I have experienced trauma and loss and some real up hill battles. I have learned from those experiences however (and from my patients who have discovered healing from trauma) that it serves no purpose to remain in those negative places. Negativity is simply the absence of knowledge, love and light and can always be flipped to the other side. A shadow is only a shadow if you are facing one direction, and with a simply turn to look in a different direction, the shadow disappears from view.

So when I make a post on a media site that is upbeat and positive, it usually stems form an experience where I have felt the opposite and had to work through it. I choose to share the outcome, because what the brain focus’s on grows, so I choose to focus on and give attention to the most positive parts of my life. And then what happens: is my life just keeps getting more positive.

Trusting the Process:

Today I have had several conversations with people about trust, and they have been mostly about trusting the “process”. The process being: ALL THINGS ARE EXACTLY AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE; NOTHING IS REALLY AS IT SEEMS; BUT IF YOU BELIEVE, IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TURN OUT BETTER.

Now they are some easy words, but when you experience life in its ups and downs, and bumps in the road, not always so easy to trust.

So what is trust: Trust knows that there is a reason for everything, and that I am actively participating in a process of attracting into my life exactly what I need and want?

I hear people talk about prayer and they say, well I always get what I need when I pray, but I don’t always get what I want.

I am learning right now that I do always get what I want, but sometimes I do not always know what I want. Therefore I am given things that look foreign to me at the time. Later I realize that whatever it was that I was given was what I really wanted, I just did not know it at the time.

So that takes me to the next question: why do we not know what we want? Hmmmmm; Maybe because we don’t take the time to get quiet and listen to the voice of our most inner being do we not know what we want? So today I took the time to listen to my voice, and I heard it say:

I have everything I want…I am alive, I have friends, I have a tribe, I have a great job, I have opportunities and options, I have hope, I have an awesome family, a perfect husband, I have purpose and healthy and my bills are paid. I feel grateful, and am having fun. I have it ALL…..

Now it would be nice if, I got published by Hay House, it would be nice if, we were able to buy that house on Lake Ring Drive, it would be nice if I got a check in the mail today, but you know what, if none of those things ever happened I would still have it all. And the real fun of life comes in knowing that it could all happen and more. It’s why I wake up everyday: to see what amazing new thing could happen. I trust the process. Life is EXACTLY as it is suppose to be. And I am grateful for every breath I get to take, and for every moment of love I get to experience…..and I am grateful for all of the other moments that teach me to always come back to here.

Have a great day!

there is always a gift.

We recently received a group email that was worth resending, but could not figure out its origination, (to give credit to where it was due). If some one reads this and claims it, I would be glad to give you credit. The story begins with a picture of two fellows carrying heavy crosses... one prays that his cross be shortened. A while later he ask again for his cross to be shortened, and inches were cut from the end. He asks again and again and each time more inches were removed,until it became light enough to carry with a smile.

However, the two reach a deep canyon separating them from a gorgeous wondrous world on the other side.... the one with the shortened cross is dumbfounded as to how to get across. the other lays his cross down and walks across the canyon into paradise. The other sits in darkness and is unable to get over there because his cross had become too short. No matter what your religious beliefs are or are not, its a great story about the magic of the gifts in any trauma or hard time.

And its a great way to visualize our life philosophy:
All things are as they are suppose to be, BUT nothing is as it seems, and if you trust you will find that it is often better.

paradox, integration, balance and perceptions

Someone recently asked me to pick one word to describe myself, and i picked the word paradox. That immediately triggered a longer conversation about who I was. It was in that conversation, that I was able to describe myself in more descriptive terms...I said: "I am a really hard worker, but I play really hard. I love freedom and flexibility, but need structure and clear expectations. I work independently but also work well in and with a team......etc. It was a great conversation. However becoming that balanced and integrated person was not something I have always been. There have been times in my life where i have been one extreme or the other, and there have been other times when i have been just a little of both, but not strong in any one direction.

I have spent time and effort both in assessing my strengths and also looking at how to transform my weaknesses back into strengths". (Weaknesses are all just opportunities to be better in some area of our lives). And I am always looking for ways to flip those perceived weaknesses into strengths. "Weaknesses" are really just perceptions. If we change our perceptions of ourselves, we will then change our image of ourselves; when our image changes our positive energy potential grows as well.

The work of Transforming perceptions works well in the group settings too. We meet new people and begin to develop opinions of their attributes. We then start categorizing them into positive and negative (Strengths and weaknesses). Those conclusions often cause us to be judgemental critical and distant. It is a natural course of thinking, however at any point we can interrupt that process and adjust our perceptions from thinking something is bad or a weakness into perceiving that it is good.

A tangible example would be to pick up a pencil and ask yourself.. is this pencil useful or not? is this pencil a good thing or not..... most people would say their perception is it is neither good nor bad or it is all good. But to the person who has been poked in the eye by a pencil... their perception is quite different. They think the pencil is just bad!

The real challenge is for the person who has been poked in the eye; trying to flip that perception of the pencil from it being a weapon, to it being a useful tool.

We have similar experiences with people and our perceptions of other peoples weaknesses and strengths. And it is just as difficult to change your perception of another person. Maybe they have have hurt you; but there is usually a reason for that, and behind that and simulataneously with that there could be and very often is also a good person. Its all perception.

But the whole point of being a paradox, is that life is both. and people are both. We have good and bad (so to speak), strengths and weaknesses, positive and negative. And how we use or interact with any one of them is all about perception.

And it is my perception that all things are as they are suppose to be, nothing is as it seems, but there is a gift (good) in all things and all people, and its all about perception.

Just BEING

I am amazed continually with how uncomfortable I am with just being,
Not being entertained, and not doing something, just being. Even writing this blog is having to DO something. I am driven to serve and to fix and to problem solve. I like being busy, whether its busy with fun or busy with work.

And the brain, OMG, does it ever just do nothing? I sit to meditate…. But find myself jabbering away at some form of a higher power, with god, with angels, with ancestors, with my totems: something.

I can tell you that getting quiet is a necessary part of healing, but doing it is something entirely different. There is that word again: “doing”. I think that meditation is something that we should be doing….. But it is still not just being.

All of my spiritual heroes and mentors have written about and spoken about the power of being, and yet, it seems to elude me. So I ask: so what do I want to be? I want to be happy, and free and peaceful and energetic. I want to dance and be creative and productive and alive.

I want to be connected and healthy and making a difference and I want to be able to sit quietly and just be all that I am without doing anything. I guess one would have to feel pretty good about themselves to do that. And I guess I would have to feel like I have value just because I exist for me to not feel guilty over doing nothing and just being.

So I believe that all things are as they are supposed to be, and nothing is as it seems and that there is a gift in all experiences. So for today, and for this moment I am going to simply embrace the gift of breathing and being alive and have no expectations and just be in every present moment.

Today I am grateful for:

Dear someone…. Today I manifest consciously and openly ask for all to join with me:
I believe I have a piece of god inside of me, that I strive to nurture… but at times I get pushed behind a wall of sadness and even anger that creates barriers to its freedom to move and create and to love unconditionally…..
So today it is my desire to take down that wall, and move to a different garden where flowers grow, water flows, the sun warms and the earth is healthy. A place where life abounds and the lion can sit with the lamb.
I need a tribe……… and group of people to be around, who I relate to and whose energy will not only enhance mine, but I will be able to give them back something as well..
I need that connection to positive healthy wild and crazy people, who can think outside the box, but live within the boundary of love.
I need to have space and nature and a healing environment to live in and be nourished and revived every day, so that I can go back out and give all I have back to the universe.
I need to party and laugh and be silly, and I need music and dancing.
I need to be able to make a difference, and I need to be valued and appreciated.
I need freedom to grow and to be more and I need for my life to be effortless and prosperous.
I need for my life to reflect the compassion and love I feel for people and the environment and life itself.
So for today I am grateful for connections to people, and for new opportunities to love. I am grateful for opportunities to share my knowledge and energy and love.
I am grateful for laughter, and all things silly. I am grateful to dance and to see beauty, hear music, eat good food, and for the time to smell the flowers.
I am grateful that I am able to give hope, and for all the moments that I know I helped someone else feel good. I am grateful that prosperity is effortless, and so is breathing and moving and loving.
I am grateful that this wonderful spirit, a piece of god, chose this body, and this mind, and that we work together as an integrated whole, and has never once given up on me.
I begin my day with great anticipation and fearlessly embrace all miracles. And I am thankful for all of those whose collective energy makes this possible and for being a witness to my life. Love Noel

inside out?

There is something profoundly different when praying or meditating from the outside in as opposed to the inside out. I was always taught as a child to pray to god, and he would listen. (And i do agree with that) And as my spiritual journey has taken me through new and different experiences, I have interacted energetically, with guides and angels and totems and ancestors etc. (And I have benefited from that)

But lately there has been a shift in my thinking, and in my practice. I have been simply honoring my own spirit. (Which i believe to be a piece of god in side of me.) I have been simply saying, what would you like to do today? And what ever that is, please attract it into our lives and we the body and we the mind will submit and allow it to happen. I sit and think of my spirit just being free. And then i feel myself smiling and sometimes swaying and moving and there is a peace and energy that just is amazing. since i have adopted that practice, my life has been escalating in opportunities and change.

I think the power is inside of ourselves and when we allow it to do the connection to god, higher power, angels, guides whatever big things happen. When we ask the for the reverse, think our past, our minds our bodies create many more barriers, that our spirit can flow through if we just give it permission to.

This feels good!

I can do it Cruise

Cruise Ramblings
Many of you have heard me say: all things are as they are suppose to be, but rarely is it as it seems. (its probably better)
This cruise has been phenomenal, but filled with moments of not so much. For example, last night rich and I dressed up, and went to dinner at the nice dining room. This is a free style cruise, so we did not have an assigned table. (as it turned out that really was a detriment to socializing and networking and making new fun friends).but anyway we sat down and looked at the menu and found absolutely nothing we wanted to order. Really? ….On a cruise and nothing interesting to eat? …..Or at least nothing good to eat. We both have agreed that the food is the blandest food we have ever eaten; Healthy food but no seasoning and no taste. The gift was that we didn’t over eat, and we did eat really really healthy all week
I came here to renew my healthiness, and committed to yoga every morning at 7 am. I imagined my body feeling really good from that, I also knew rich and would not be drinking as much, and felt that would help us to feel good. I ate no gluten for the first 4 days I increased my water intake, went to bed earlier and did a lot of other exercise. By day 5 I felt like crape and was feeling like the bitch from hell, and my knee, right leg and ankle were just screaming at me.
I also came here excited that Rich might make new “enlightened” discoveries and we could share more and be more connected, and yet with each class he came out with his left brain critical reviews. And just began to irritate me. How could he demean my heroes and my spiritual gurus in such caustic description?
But the final blow seem to come at the big Caribbean party, on the top deck last night. I so wanted to dance, but the music was awful, my knew was killing me, there was nowhere to sit down, and I pretty much said… the hell with this and ordered a drink, which I immediately proceeded to spill.
Here was a magnificent opportunity to put the money where the thought is. I sat quietly and remembered that we attract all things into our lives, and the attraction of things into our loves has more to do with what goes on inside of ourselves than what is happening around us. So I simply asked my spirit…. What is going on?
The message that came back to me over the next 24 hours was: This is about change, what you have been doing in the past has not been working so how do you want to do it different? My response was:
I want to be less judgmental, more disciplined, and have more fun. So I just hugged rich, got up and went to yoga this am, and sat with my imagination as to how to have more fun. I stayed committed to: all things are as they are supposed to be, but rarely is it as it seems. (its probably better) and just asked for the gift.
And then I waited. Waiting is not the most pleasant experience, but if you wait, and if you stay connected, and if you love, and if you imagine the gift will come. The gift I learned this week was that the more you imagine and the more you love the less the waiting. And I learned that if you have to process through the crap, be selective with how and who you share the crap with. Write it out, throw it away. Or select someone who can handle your crap and can throw it away for you. (like a therapist or healer) or just sit and wait in silence. I did that and things started to happen. (sometimes feeling like crap is nothing to do with your thoughts feelings or behavior, but it is something going on with you physically). (With me, I came to see: after the fact, that some of it was just a detoxification process, eating better, drinking more water etc, and doing the yoga)
Second insight: What if I could never pleasure any of my senses ever again? (what if I couldn’t dance, or never eat really good yummy foods, or see the blue water, or smell nag champa or lavender) I had to ask if joy came from things we do or just it come from a place much deeper down inside? The answer came back as: Joy is a feeling and it is a feeling that integrates the mind and its imagination with our spirit, for the purpose of pleasuring the body. The bigger the imagination, the bigger the experience of joy will be. Imagination is another way of saying look at all the possibilities. So as I sat in my silence to wait for the crap to leave, I imagined what would bring me joy if I couldn’t dance, couldn’t eat good food, couldn’t smell, couldn’t see or couldn’t do the things that worked in the past. I opened up to possibilities, and opened my heart and mind, and before long was feeling better.
So Insight one: silence, insight two: dreaming big and insight three is about collective energy. Rich came out of the one session I thought he would most likely dismiss and sat down and said: It is all coming together for me. He said: “its all about imagination; the more you imagine the bigger your box will get, and the more miracles you will attract.” I so desperately wanted to say: well duh…been telling you that for years
But instead I just said: “I am so tickled that a light has come on.”. And I secretly said I am so grateful I never told him how frustrated I was with him, because right now at this moment I just loved him. It became apparent that he just needed to be in this energy for a few days, and he needed the accumulative effect of being with such a positive group.
So being quiet, waiting, imagining and loving; It all comes down to that. And then we walked past a window and there was a rainbow out over the ocean. And a cool lady came up to us and said…. There is a hysterical comedian on ship… want to go hear her…. We said sure… and then laughed belly hard for an hour.
Then out of the blue Rich suggest he race / walk in the susan b komen cure for cancer on the ship. “I want to do this for my daughter who has done a three day walk, and for our friend Perri… who survived this.” So while I was in class he was walking the boat, and donating money instead of having a drink.
So yes a very different cruise, but a very good cruise…..tomorrow on an island in the Bahamas, doing a couples massage on the beach. Have changed my shoes and think tonight I will be able to dance at a different bar. ( we heard the music was much better there and knee feels better today, despite eating gluten in a plate of pasta that actually had some distant remote flavor)
SO: all things are as they are suppose to be, but rarely as they seem. (its always better), you just have to get quiet, imagine, and seek out the good energy and join it, feel it, and love. The gift IS in there.

Thanks for all of your prayers and witnessing our journey together

the writers cruise

Pre Cruise:
The days leading up to the cruise were full of great feeling and intense emotion. I signed up for the cruise as a mechanism to make a dream come true: Getting published by Hay House. It has been a point on a manifestation curve to help me tell the stories of healing.
I have believed with all of my heart that I had something to say, but being a story teller is not necessarily the same thing as being a writer. And have thought that to tell these stories I needed some help with the writing of them.
The first book: IF YOU STAND IN THE MIDDLE YOU WON’T FALL DOWN, began the process of “telling the story”. But falls short of what it is deeply imbedded in my soul. So I signed up for this writer’s conference to get some help “writing” the rest of the story that my heart holds.
And to be perfectly honest, as excited as I was about coming here, and knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that this would be a life changing experience for me, I was equally filled with fear. Fear, not so much of failure, but fear of what changes this experience would have in store for me and the fear of success. Now don’t get me wrong, I considered some self sabotage, considering that the majority of the speakers at this conference are my hero’s, mentors and spiritual guru’s. And at times thinking that standing on my tip toes; I could not touch the soles of their feet. However many of you encouraged me, and cheered me on with reminders that they put their shoes on the exact same way I do……… one foot at a time. So I packed and prepared and took off on an adventure with my soul mate and hubby.
The Cruise: Day one:
This is a very different cruise. Cruises to us in the past have been about drinking, staying up late, partying, eating, and seeing new places, on a big boat with lots of things to do. We love the warmth of the sun, and enjoy the good weather the south and the Caribbean offers.
This is a small ship, (the MS Westerdam) with not so much to do but offering the opportunity for the experience of relaxing. Neither one of us drink so much anymore, and we have already been to the islands we are docking at. We both are connected to healthy eating, and have no desire to pop our pants button. So everything its different
This cruise is all about the Hay House “I Can Do It” Conference for Rich and the writer’s conference for me. When we arrived I expected the same energy as when I attended the last “I Can Do It” Conference in Tampa, however it was quite different. Not better not worse, but very very different. I will be interested in observing the dynamics of that over this week.
Rich went to his first class, (with Caroline Myss) and I toured the boat. It was chilly outside , so it was definitely an inside night. We ate healthy, and went to bed early. Rich had his first ta dah moment, when he said after just a few hours with this group: “ Now I see why you have always wanted to be published by Hay House.”
Day Two:
Wow Wow Wow Wow
Now anyone who knows me knows I am not an early morning person. But I felt drawn to get up at 630 am to attend an early morning yoga class on the front deck, next to the blue waters of the ocean, and then tai chi on the back deck.
I have always been somewhat intimidated by yoga, But the timing of this, and the specific energy of the teacher (Priti, from, the Kripali Institute), transformed my opinion of it into a desire to do more. It was a monumental moment in time. I so became appreciative of the seed my daughter sowed in me when she started her yoga journey. I so completely got it at that moment. I have been attracting the desire to do it lately, and what we think about and what we desire we do attract. Yoga is a way of coming home to yourself.
The day kept getting better, Richard heard Wayne Dyer, and I went to the first day of the writers workshop. I also sat on deck as it started to warm up, and watched a school of baby dolphins swim in the ocean. We ate healthy, met lots of new people, talked about the changes we were both feeling.
And we went to bed early again; however not before we sat and processed all about our second day.
The first three hours of the writers conference was worth every penny of this trip. It is exactly what I am needing, and am consumed with new excitement. Many of you are participating in the collective energy of this, so whatever you are doing… keep doing it. And thank you all for being a witness to our journey

Dreams coming true

As many of you know I wrote my first book:
If You Stand in the Middle You Won't Fall Down:
Letters from Eloise and Jake
(As a way to tell the stories of 13 years of listening to
clients and their issues.)



For the last year I have had another book in my heart, about healing, spiritual journeys and what happens when the tribe comes together. I now have the rough draft done; And want to have my “dream publisher” (Hay House) to take a look at it.
Over a year ago I went to an “I can do it” conference in Tampa where most of my spiritual gurus were speaking. It was an incredible experience to be in that energy. It was at that time that I heard about another “I can do it conference”, with a “writers workshop” put on by Hay house. This time it is on a cruise ship going to the Caribbean.
I signed up for the conference, and Rich is attending too. It is this month January 28-Feb 4)
Now normally you need an agent to even submit a manuscript to Hay House, but anyone attending this workshop will be allowed to by pass on that detail. (And the possibility of being offered an advance and a book deal is available too). So I am putting energy into manifesting my dreams; by writing this to all of you.
I have finished the Very rough draft of the second book, which is still written by Eloise and Jake,

However it is written, not for and about the psychiatric patient but for and about the people that inspired my spiritual journey (many of which will be on this cruise).
This book (and this adventure) is not just about Hay house. It is about Hay house opening doors so that “I can create opportunities for others to go on their own spiritual journey.” I have dreams in my mind of a new business, called “Together All things are Possible”, and in fact the new book is Finding the tribe: Together All things are possible
Many of you have seen the twitter post and the face book posts from “Together all things are possible”, and have emailed me with how some of those posts have impacted your life. I am in the process of developing my new web site: www.togetherallthingsarepossible.com, which will be an extension of the current www.ejhealers.com. We are at the very early developmental stages of all of that.




So if you want to be part of this collective energy, send love, send wisdom, send absolute perfect synchronicity to this event.
I believe all things are as they are suppose to be, and I believe that things are not exactly as they seem, but always much better, and there is always a gift in the midst of all of it.
On a good day I believe I have a story to tell, and that Hay house was meant to help me tell it. I do realize that my natural gifts are not in writing but in story telling, so it is all about being comfortable in that energy, and asking Hay House to help me tell my story.
Rich is excited about his attendance to the rest of the “I Can Do It Conference”. And I know that whatever happens, it will all be perfectly as it is meant to be.
I am looking forward to our experience, and my grand adventure, and would love you all to participate in the attraction of it into our lives.
Send love…….
Here is the sneak preview into the book, which is all about making contracts with your tribe: (The book describes the reasons for these commitments)
*I will listen to and care for and nourish my body with good food, water, good movement, good rest and I will dance.
*I will express gratefulness, daily, I will laugh and provide joy to my 6 senses. I will create something daily.
*I will actively try to make a difference in someone’s life daily.
*I will forgive and love without judgment. I will let love guide my thoughts and my actions.
*I will be authentic and real, and be as honest as I am allowed to be, with love and kindness.
*I will get quiet and listen daily, and remember that I have ALL the answers inside of me.
*I will trust that all things are as they are suppose to be, and nothing is totally is it seems, (because it is much better)
*I will embrace the paradoxes of life and seek balance.
I will live in the present but change the world. I will join a group but remain an individual
I will be generous, but remain full. I will love unconditionally, but maintain boundaries
I will embrace illness and accept healing. I will simplify and expand
I will be wild and still. I will dream and be satisfied. I will dance and rest.
I will have fun and work hard. I will be connected and detached.
I will be honest but kind. I will trust and I will question.
I will remember that I am never alone !!!!!

Eloise and Jake cheer you on! As do Rich and I!

talking

"Talking" I hear a lot of talking all day long. I listen, and I try to hear what is being said. And then I talk back, and try to offer validation, redirection, encouragement or whatever wisdom my ooze out of my mind. This is called conversation, and it is the measure of the connection that exists between the individuals who are having the conversation.

Talking is also a reflection of the soul. If the soul is tortured, so will be the words that are spoken If the person is in denial, the words spoken will be like a tap dance around an issue. If the people involved in conversation are afraid, guarded or angry, so flow similar words. One must be willing not just to release those feelings but then transform them into something more useful and positive.

Talking is also a great way, (As is writing) to work through layers of feelings, layers of programed confusion and layers of chaos brought on by how our society creates things.

The brain, processes information when it thinks it through, differently than when it is read, written, spoken or heard. Using all avenues of communication, will assist each of us in determining core information that might be missed if we just try to think it through.

Tribes produce excellent conduits for this exercise. Being able to talk through, write about, think about and listen to perspectives and feed backs, always enhances ones options.

But to share thoughts and feeling one must be in a relationship where trust is developed, opinions honored and no judgement exists. To find that means to give that. So for me to speak, I must first honor the the opinions of those I am speaking to, and I must trust that they will be honest and tell me if I am going down a scary path. And then I must be honest, and only give back words that are grounded in love, wisdom and good intuition.

I know I need people to talk with and talk to. I know that talking to God provides me with great wisdom and guidance, and journaling helps to release and re frame. but there is nothing more powerful than to have a friend tell me back what i just said without judgement, so that I can hear my own thoughts.

I love those people who have let me vomit words, and then helped me rearranged those words into something useful and productive. (And who still loved me, and never thought I was crazy as I was doing it.) I love those peopled who have shared my journey in those ways. And I especially love those who i trusted my most inner most secrets, and still continued to welcome my role and purpose in their tribe.

I will never stop speaking. I will continue to write, and speak to God, and listen.
I will read many perspectives. And then I will sit in my peace of knowing that I have chosen the right path and the right tribe.

Thanks you for being part of my tribe....... and for listening to me.
