Day 9 to 21?
Wow. How can this first cycle be almost over. Over the last few days, I have been trying to be honest and present with those around me. I have noticed that I feel better when I give consciously. Still working on receiving, which I have, but it involves some awareness that if I think I am not deserving, then I think I can't contribute, and then have nothing to give...so its one big circle, and most of the time that I have been giving, I haven't noticed because I am too busy distracted with not feeling worthy. This has been an amazing process. I have invited another long lost friend to lunch for this coming week, called up another last week. At a family event, it seemed we were all in helping mode for my aunt which I am not sure if I started it, or if someone else did, but we really have one of the funnest relaxing times in a while. I have noticed that I need to be able to receive gifts from my mother, and I do not know when or why it started that I couldn't...but its been going on a long long time. Its opened up a new dialogue for us. So far its been really cool.

Comment by Dawn on November 15, 2009 at 3:20pm - it sounds like you have learned a great deal in a short time. i especially liked how you noticed that there was a disconnect between what you were thinking and what was actually going on. i will have to keep that in mind. a lot of us have discovered that each round seems to have a different lesson to teach us, it will be interesting to see if that happens for you too. Hugs, Dawn

Thanks for all your comments! This is the first time I've gone quite so public with my story. I've always imagined myself helping others through sharing my life's journey in some way. But I always found an excuse why I couldn't or shouldn't. So I've…
I have received a few gifts, tea, coffee and a co-worker bought me a cool ornament for my house. I have given quite a few out of the blue compliments. Offered to help with a few different things. I am hoping to give more and more!
I agree with that totally, I am a bit of a procrastinator sometimes and this has pushed me to do things NOW rather than think about it and potentially never get to it! What kind of yoga do you teach? I have just started to practice Ashtanga yoga. Ha…
Yesterday, to thank the receptionist at my office for appearing in a video for a website I'm working on, I bought her a bouquet of flowers + chocolates. It was a gift for me too as I got to have the strawberry and coffee flavour chocolates :)Either…
Thank you for talking about your creative blockage. When you have a very task oriented job i think it sucks your creative side. A book marker what a great idea. It is good to start small. have a great day. Michele
