Relax, trust, and just be

I am seeing the first of many many new clients on Monday. I am very excited and am setting the intention of just relaxing and being present. It is a couple, and I love working with couples. I love that sense of deep connection with others and feel privileged to hear stories that are close to the hearts of my clients.

I have been asking to trust more...and this week I have seen some changes. I went to a family constellation workshop on Friday and did a very unusual 10 minute constellation of my own. And last week I had some energy work done. I can feel the movement in my body and in my spirit.

What a beautiful day!

I found another quote

...on the same subject. This one is from a cup of Yogi Tea last night. How cool is it to find inspiring quotes on your tea bag?

"Gratitude opens the door to abundance."

Gratitude

I came across this quote and thought it was lovely.

"Gratitude opens a crack in consciousness
that lets grace in."

Moments strung together

B. and I are celebrating three wonderful years together today. Not only is it our three-year anniversary, but it is also a (number) 3 day. Three happens to be both his and my favorite number. I think it's fitting because the number three is about creativity and self expression. It is also a number of possibility.

I went to the office for a while to do some work and was looking back though pictures and thinking about the special moments we have shared. Of course there have been difficult moments, too, especially during the last year while I was in school and at my internship.

What I saw in the pictures was a lot of joy. A lot of love. A great deal of laghter.

Before he got up this morning, I watched him as he lay sleeping. In that moment, time stood still.

There was no striving to be somewhere else, no thoughts about what tomorrow may bring. It was simply peacful. I thought of nothing else than how it felt to be there, in the quiet, to relish in the moment.

Life is pure adventure

"Life is pure adventure and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art...we need to remember that we are created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed." ~Maya Angelou

I feel blessed that in the past few days I have been able to remember the fact that life is adventure. I am still in the same financial situation I was a few weeks ago, but something for me is shifting, I hope permanently. I am networking and meeting so many amazing people. I'm actively trying to build my practice and attract clients. But I'm doing something different (different for me, anyway).

I don't feel as if I am in the game of trying harder and harder right now. I realize that allowing things to unfold is actually so much more effective.

Part of this for me is getting in touch with my own spirituality. I'm finding resources coming out of nowhere. Each person I meet somehow teaches me something. I'm making connections and am amazed about the synchronicity of events. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Welcome home...

We had a fabulous time in Mexico. It was a little hard to come back to the cold, although it did rain quite a bit when we were there.

On the day we took the ferry to Cozumel, there was a big storm. Several times, it seemed as if the boat was going to tip. On the way there, we sat in the back so we wouldn't get sea sick. (They were handing out bags to all the passengers on the boat). We ended up getting soaked. Without a change of clothes, it was very, very cold walking around in the rain. We bought a couple of shirts from a small shop--a hand embroidered traditional shirt for me and a soccer shirt for B with the colors of the Mexican flag. Those shirts saved us. We had a lot of fun on our little adventure in the rain.

Another highlight was seeing the Mayan ruins of Coba. We had a little adventure the day we went, because we decided to rent a jeep and drive to the ruins. They were about two hours from Playa Del Carmen and we got to see a few small villages on the way.

Built between two lakes during the Classic Period (600-900 A.D.) it was at one time a very large city spread over 80 square kilometers. The main pyramid, Nohoch Mul meaning 'large hill', is 42 meters tall (138 feet) and is the highest in the Yucatan peninsula.

We first rented bikes and took a leisurly ride through the other smaller ruins. I knew if I walked the 3+ miles there, it would be unlikely I would be able to climb the pyramid with my ankle still hurting. It took me a long time to get up, and even longer to climb down, but I did it. The views from the top were spectacular.

We spent the sunny days sitting on the beach and reading. And for 15 glorious minutes, we went parasailing and got to fly above the coast. That was so much fun. I'm so thankful that we got to go.
