Perpetual Unexpected Twists

I've realized that I haven't kept up very well since Art died. I have done a lot of things, and the thought of summarizing it seems overwhelming.

For that reason, you get it in a nutshell. I went to Impact Trainings in July 2006 - had another baby in October 2006 (Torin) - learned Reiki in late 2006 - went to the Hendricks Institute in July 2007 and signed on as an apprentice to Katie Hendricks - I am in the process of creating the world's greatest networking website for conscious people and opening an metaphysical healing and supply store with my sisters Liberty & Holly - Yeah, life is good.

I found this in my email, and decided to post it. (It was kind of the start of this awesome shift in my life)...

The ways that the Impact training has served me are numerous.

1 – Attending and experiencing the training with my husband has changed our bond forever. We are now bound soul to soul in a way we had never experienced before. We have seen each other in our excellence. We had an opportunity to experience communication on a level neither of us knew existed, and it brought us to a place together where we knew that working together we could take on anything that was presented to us!

2 – I not only know who I am, I know that it’s okay to acknowledge who I am. I always knew I was forgiving, but never allowed myself to admit it others. I am forgiving (among many other things).

3 – I recognize the games I play, and am able to quickly nip them in the bud before they begin playing me. I am the same person in any crowd, because I am ME.

4 – I love everyone, literally everyone. While I may not like their masks, or walls, or games, I am able to look beyond those without judgment and know that they are just a precious and perfect as I am, and always worthy of love!

5 – I speak a language of increase, and that has rippled out to my children. My children are happier people because of the training and tools I received.

6 – I know that I can have/do/accomplish anything. Literally anything. That is powerful, and I am grateful for that every day!!

7 – Not only do I love my husband, but other people see and love him too. I consider that a great blessing, because I have always known how great he is!

8 – I am remembering how awesome it is to serve others. It’s amazing to reach out and make a ripple, and even more amazing when I get to see that ripple go far and wide. AWESOME!

I am so amused as I go back and read my previous posts. Even for an optimist, I was pretty pessimistic. My whole outlook on life has changed, and I think that is groovy as hell! LOL

There is a part of me that says "Look out world, because I AM!" Woot!

Lovin' Life, Baby!

p.s. For the record, I AM a loving, joyful, healing, inspiring woman of light! YES I AM!

I did SO much it felt like much longer than 7 days! Our ports were Juneau, Skagway and Price Rupert Island, BC.
In Juneau my mom and I went on a whale-watching boat ride. We saw about 8-10 whales, included a breech! It was so cool! We also saw a couple of sea lions hanging out on a Buoy. And, DOZENS of Bald Eagles!

Then in Skagway I, Liberty and Melanie canoed out to the Davidson Glacier. It is the MOST AMAZING thing I have ever seen! We canoed up to about 100 feet from the face of the glacier (couldn't get any closer because it's unsafe). The ice in the glacier is so blue, it literally looks like someone poured food coloring into it. The water we canoed on was so cold that if anyone had fallen in, the would be hypothermic in fewer than 2 minutes. Brrrrr....

After that, we all (including my mom) went to a glass-blowing studio and got to blow our own glass ornaments. It was awesome!!

The next day was a sea day and we spent A LOT of time in the spa. We made friends with the spa girls and got great discounts! LOL

In Prince Rupert Lib, Mel and I went kayaking along the coast. We saw quite a few seals and again a lot of bald eagles. It was POURING rain, so we got SOAKED!! But, it was a blast anyway.

That night the show on the boat was the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Coasters (of Yakity Yak fame)... AND..... I GOT TO SING WITH THEM ONSTAGE! They said "we're going to sing a little ditty by a friend of ours, Tennessee Ernie..." and I shouted as loud as I could "YEAAAAAAAAH"... They asked "who did that?" and I raised my hand. They asked me to come up to the stage and Larry asked me how I could possibly know a Tennessee Ernie Ford song because I am SO young (ha ha) and I told them that my dad used to sing them to me as lullabies. So, he asked me if I would sing Sixteen Tons with them. I DID! I sang Sixteen Tons (some of it solo) with THE COASTERS! Yahoooo!!!! It was so nerve-wracking and so fun all at the same time. My mom took pictures, so I'll post them as soon as she gets them to me. For the rest of the cruise people kept asking me if I was the one who sang with the Coasters. LOL

Melanie and I went to the Disco every night and had a blast, in spite of the many, many overly pushy come-ons.

It was an AMAZING vacation and we are DEFINITELY planning another girls-only vacation for next year!
