The visit with my mom is going really well. We are talking and experiencing and sharing emotions. It's new for us and I feel very vulnerable with my mom, moreso than my friends. I am doing my best and am looking forward to spending the rest of today and the weekend with her.
Love and Light.

My mom is staying with me for a week, and I have to go to work some while she is here. I got up at 5 am and took the dog for a walk. When we got back, he ran over to mom and jumped on her and licked her face with his tail wagging madly. It is extremely hard to be mad at a happy dog who is so excited to see you because he missed you during his 10 minute walk.
Love and Light.

3. My wonderful free job
4. Abundance
5. This day in whatever comes in it
6. Breathing
7. Cleaning
8. All of my emotions
9. Unconditional love
10. Eyes to see the light in others
I had to stop on some errands after working 12 hours. It's not normal for me to work 12 hours in a row, so I was tired and forcing myself to stop at the grocery store and Wal-Mart. I could feel myself while driving to these places that I was already making it a terribly unpleasant thing for me to do. I was grumbling to myself and darkening my mood, when I realized that it was my choice to go to these places and my choice how I approached them. I then brought love into what I was doing. I wasn't happy bouncy because I honored my tiredness and knew I had to struggle to stay focused. I accepted my choice to do errands with love. So, as I walked into these places, I saw other people with their tired faces set in grim determination and annoyance. Almost all of them avoiding looking in the eyes of anybody else. I looked at everybody with love and searched out their eyes and when I did see into the eyes of those people, I saw their light within and I was blessed with seeing them brighten with that light and smile. It was amazing.
Love and Light.

I was up late last night working. I am grateful that my job and my boss will allow me the flexibility to work longer days so that I will be able to take comp time when my mom comes to visit this week (because I have no more vacation days left). I feel tired and slower today and that's okay.

I finished the Warrior Dash (www.warriordash.com) on Saturday. Woo Hoo! I did every obstacle except for one wall. I know now I am capable of a lot more than what I thought. I am very grateful for my friends who stuck with me through the whole course and were cheering me on and giving me pointers and help. I ran some and learned how to breath and run at the same time. In the past I would avoid runs and running or even long marathon walks and things, because I used to run and automatically hold my breath and tense up. In my childhood it seemed like the only time I would run would be in terror and that's where I learned to hold my breath and tense up. I also had asthma and many of my forays into playing sports ended up with me going to the hospital before the game was over. I'm had been terrified of not being able to breath. Now I took the risk and tested my physical capability and I know that this is 2011 and not my childhood. I am so much more capable today. So, I am so proud of myself for finishing the Warrior Dash! I am proudly wearing my Warrior Helmet at work today!
Love and Light.

Today work migrated their email to gmail which I am very happy about because I love the organization of conversations and messages in gmail so much better than outlook. This gives me the opportunity to be aware of my experiencing change when the change is something I want. I can feel where I resist and I can see where I could choose to focus on the negative things and I'm glad I choose to flow with this change. Also, I receive the gift of observing my co-workers and how they resist change and I am able to surround myself with Love and Light and gently send back their negative energy to them with love. They will find their path through this change. I cannot go through it for them, they need to find their way and I hope to be supportive and loving along the way. I also receive the gift to practice staying in my joy of the change and not let my co-workers "suck me into" their resistance, nor deny my own joy out of shame that not everybody likes this. I honor my happiness of this change and honor their struggle with compassion. A nice little lesson for today.

8. Cool weather

10. Honoring all my emotions
I woke up this morning and groggily stumbled about as I sometimes do. I go through my morning routine and wake up gradually and feel a tiny sense of anxiety down deep. I chant to bring in love and spirituality into my day, and the tiny anxiety is still there. I see my sage and on impulse decide to sage and cleanse my apartment. I'm feeling fuller with joy of life and peace and the tiny anxiety is still there. I decide to ignore it and go into tasks of this modern life we live in and fire up the computer to pay a bill. As the computer is booting I look over to the sunshine streaming in the window and there in the rays are the feathers of the sage smoke slowly and gracefully dancing in the sun. I sit quietly and watch.
Love and Light.
