Thinking of you- Peace and love-

Hi Lili. Also very moved by your accepting me as a friend. I know we all have to be open and that peace starts with each of us. I would love to learn more about your peace efforts and writing facilitation. Actually I am an European-American Muslim, but here in the UAE I try to teach awareness and understanding and acceptance to my mostly Arab students- which is far more important than their English language skills. It is especially hard to teach them that the Jewish people are not an enemy since most have never known anyone who is Jewish. There is the problem of xenophobia and prejudice. Our commonalities are far greater than our differences and we can make peace a reality. If enough people get this truth then the governments will have no choice but to follow. I like Cami's suggestion of a site for this work- that is a future goal. I agree that working with adults is scary, but after all, it is (some) adults who are allowing the youth to join awareness movements. One step at a time. Thank God we both took a first step. That's 2 for peace.

Happy birthday, Lili, and congratulations on finishing your 29 days. I really enjoyed your election day post and your touching stories of connecting with people through your work on Obama's campaign. (I recently moved to NC from San Francisco, so I can appreciate the prespective from both coasts). The Prop 8 results are disappointing, but lots of great things did happen on Nov 4, and there are millions of us ready to keep fighting the good fights.
Wishing you much joy in the year ahead. xo Katie

Thank you that is a really beautiful meditation. i am going to try it tonight.

Lili, Thanks so much for your wonderful, supportive comments, and for your kind offer of help in finding work as an art teacher. I don't feel qualified, AT ALL, as I'm pretty much winging it myself, artistically speaking.

I'm just catching up from the past couple of days on responding to comments and I got to reading your blog posts from the beginning (which I hadn't gotten to do before). I've gotta tell you how very much I enjoy your writing style. And most of all, I am so loving the way you've been doing this 29 Days thing on so many levels... physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. So many breakthroughs and energetic releases! How inspirational. You're putting out lots of good energy into this world. Keep on shining that light, woman! Lots of love and blessings to you - Serena

Wow, Lilli! That sounds like an awesome day! This is the kind of stuff I love to hear about. I send you my best and highest wishes for all good things to come your way! Have a great rest of the week! - xoxo Serena

Hi, Lili,
It was good to meet you, and I hope the hypnosis (or whatever feels right to you) will be easy for you to do in this neck of the woods. I live at 1468 La Playa Street, apt. 2. You push 02 at the door. So, just whenever you want to do a session, let me know through here, or my email, flameflower@runbox.com. (Always helps not to have to find paper things in the new piles, eh?) I can do things like stopping smoking sessions, but tend to go into deeper subjects with hypnosis. Past life regressions have been something a lot of people have come to me for, and we've discovered some amazing things that cleared a lot of things up. Though the card says 45 minutes, when it comes to hypnosis, we really go until it's time to quit.

The world of academia is familiar to me more than it might seem because my ex husband is the head of the MFA program in Memphis. And at other schools where he taught, we were the ones who put up the visiting writers, showed them around, and such. Even as a freshman, my social life was the receptions at the readings. Then, I taught for six years.

It's been something on my mind a lot lately, and part of my way of working into whatever teaching means comes my way is my promotion of a genre I call Lucid Fiction in my articles, interviews, and such, and there are lots more things about that waiting in the wings to be published. I'm hoping to run a contest for lucid fiction, maybe even before a book is accepted, just based on my journal publication experience.

I don't know if there is going to be any networking we can do our our kindred quest for teaching possibilities, and the overall world of writing in San Francisco, but if anything comes up that sparks anything for either of us, we can keep our ears out. If you want to tell me anything specific that you're looking for along those lines, now, or later, I'll see what comes my way to pass along to you.

Hugs.

Hi Lili! Thanks for reading and commenting on my post. I really enjoyed reading your profile info. I think that this project is a great way for us to refocus ourselves on something positive, rather than on our own misfortunes. And it sure is a great connection of like-minded souls! Like you, I'm also in greatly changed circumstances (in last 3 months) - a very good, positive change. And I'm now doing more than ever to refocus myself on my intentions for my life. And my intentions are all about creativite-expression, love and connectivity and I can definitely use abundance and support. So I wish you all the abundance and support you need, and more!! You sound like you're a magnificently creative soul with alot of love in your heart and I know you'll receive an abundance of support from the Universe for it.
