Dana, I’m adoring the presence concept, and I of course just came from a day-long coaching event today where we discussed how presence not only can keep us sane, but in many ways enables our will (i.e. moving forward in life). Presence and surrender and trust and intuition and truth are all wrapped up in one glorious bundle, aren’t they?

I was also reminded today of the concept of simply saying “no” to things (imagine?) … of having a sense of one’s purpose and choosing endeavors based on that vision. However, right now, it feels like everything that is up is relevant. (I know you feel me, Lissa.) And so … I dive, I swim, I enjoy.

One thing I would NOT say no to is a retreat. I’m with you Dr. Mojo. Just say the word. Of course this was for you. It was for whomever needed it (and here I thought it was just me).

Embo … we cannonball, we scuba, we flow together … I am ever grateful for you.

Weeee!!

I love this and I love your ah-ha! The fallacy and myths of control have us all tied up in knots (literally). I suspect there are good Darwinian reasons for this but I agree that our modern life gives us so many potential things to be in control of that – too often – chaos is the only thing we can actually manage:)

I just recently realized what a powerful balm Presence was in my life when chaos threatens. I’ve practiced it for a while, but out of sheer survival instinct. I’m only now coming to understand the power Presence has for actually opening me up to my greater purpose and giving me the tools to achieve it. It is so ironic (aren’t most things “truthful”?) that to get control of what is real and present before you you have to relinquish control over all those things that you simply can’t? This is such a journey of understanding for us all. I am so Joyful to be walking with Joy on this path of discovery.

Love, Light and Beautiful, Stunning and Joyful Chaos

But seriously, Joy. I suspect everyone who’s reading this feels the same way right about now. Life can get so out of control, overwhelming, crazy, stressful, busy…But if you feel that way because you’re in the flow, you are blessed. I know that this is why my life is so crazy rihgt now- because rivers are converging and diverging but the raging river rapids flow nonetheless. Sometimes you just gotta roll with it, holding your breath, knowing that when you come up for air, the sun will shine on your face and you’ll have all the oxygen you need.

Girlfriend, you and me need to go on retreat. Soon. Jump out of the rapids and sit on the bank for just a day or two before we jump back in. You in?

Breathing….and saying “Of course!”
