9. Honoring all my emotions and others emotions
10. Peace within
Being in South Florida it is Christmas time and sunny and warm. People were down at the condo pool swimming last night. I slept last night with no covers because it was too hot. I'm from up north and I miss the cold. I miss the changing of the seasons. It helps me to know that time is passing. I feel that time doesn't pass down here when it's 80 degrees all year long. I'm grateful to know that it is snowing elsewhere. Seasons are changing for others, if not for me. I'm grateful that my brother is driving around in snow and ice in Denver. I'm also grateful that my brother is a good driver. Wishing all Love and Light everyday and wishing that all remember that there is Love and Light everyday.

I'm getting better at discernments. Feelings and intentions below actions. Intuitions below really listening. The difference between displaying a medal because I want to show off the medal and proudly wearing the experience and what I learned from it. There's a lot of "look what I did!" longing for witness to our experience. A "Mom, Mom, look at me" as kids. Was I watched as a witness to what was an amazing experience to me, or was I watched with annoyance of a mundane action of children, or was I watched at all. I recently was asked to participate as part of a group and the role is not readily defined, I wouldn't be a participant, nor a facilitator, they called it a guide. I was hesitant because I was worried about myself, about performing well in my role assigned to me. This is a personal growth group and my feeling of honor at being asked didn't click until I realized that my purpose in the group would be to answer the question "How can I be of service here?" Then my joy and honor to fulfill that purpose was clear. I brought that question to work and the pressure I felt to perform well and impress my bosses and co-workers fell away. It's slow right now at work and sometimes the best way I can serve is to warm my chair and be available for what comes up. And, always, to create and imagine.
Love and Light.

3. Good friends
4. My car running well
5. Music
6. Forgiveness
7. Compassion
8. Being held in the Light
9. All of life's experiences
10. All my emotions
My life has been busy the last couple of weeks. This always happens at this time of year, there are parties to go to, friends to see, and the general feeling of time speeding up from everybody around me. I've been enjoying the parties going on and I'm grateful that this week I am not planning anything in the evening for this week. Hang on a moment, checking my calendar and already I have things planned through Wednesday, *sigh*. It is important to me to have some time to myself and I have a hard time telling friends no. I breathe deeply and know I need to take care of myself first. All will be alright. Life will go on and lessons will be learned when I have time to sit in silence and listen inside. I make that time for myself.
Love and Light.

1. Sleeping well
2. My adorable dog
3. My car running well
4. Breathing
5. Sharing spiritual rituals with friends
6. Having a date for Saturday night
7. Creativity and design
8. Joy and Love
9. Community and noble friends
10. Enjoyment of every emotion and experience
There is a way of being where I enjoy every experience and emotion, even sadness, hurtful, and painful things. I'm aware of when I'm in the mode and I wonder if I am taking away from those emotions and I don't believe I am. I think I am in those emotions even further. I guess it's similar to what I've heard "runners high" is. Where a runner pushes themselves and past the pain of running they get a kind of euphoria and the pain of running is enjoyable? I don't know, I've never experienced it. Maybe "enjoy" is not the right word for what I've felt. Well, let me try to explain when I know I'm not "enjoying" every experience and emotion. I have a tendency to resist feeling emotion. I know a lot of people and in general our culture tends to train us to resist feeling hurt, sad, anger, pain. I know that I also have a tendency to resist feeling happy, joy and fun. When I resist feeling my emotions or feeling the experience I'm having (trapped in analyzing in a cold objective scientific way), I am not feeling "enjoyment". I am not feeling and that resistence of feeling any emotion is a suffering. A dampening of spirit, of truth, a pouring of water on a fire. A lot of smoke and not able to see or breathe life clearly. Allowing all my feelings flow through me, I feel alive, an enjoyment, a full (I don't know the word) spirit. I am not good at this yet. I catch myself resisting and struggle with letting go of that resistance. I know how I want to experience life.
Love and Light.
