It’s hard to believe that we’ve moved through January already and ready or not, February is upon us. January was an intense month for many and from what I’ve heard from friends who know about ‘energy’ and how it effects us in seemingly unseen ways, it was about clearing out the old to make way for the new as well as awakening the global heart. And it certainly did that, as the outpouring of love and caring for the suffering in Haiti was unprecedented. The world stepped up to the plate and responded with great compassion.
I’ve decided that the less I do, the more tired I get…seriously. I’m sleeping more than I have in months and other than walking to town and back almost daily (a half hour each way with lunch/coffee/cold drink and shopping thrown in at our destination) I don’t do anything even remotely strenuous…unless you consider walking up to the 3rd floor of the hotel six or seven times a day strenuous, but I think that might be stretching it.
Maybe when we’re on high speed for a long time and then stop…suddenly stop…there’s a lot of catching up to do. If that’s the case, I’m happy to report that I’m catching up a lot. I do the occasional page in my art journal, I read, I chat, and I lie in the shade. I don’t even spend much time on the internet as page hopping is difficult with the intermittent wireless.
The plus side of this is that I’m meditating/breathing daily. I followed Jan at Awake is Good throughout January for her 28 day meditation challenge. It was a very down to earth and supportive experience and helpful with keeping the momentum rolling.
and on a completely different note…
this short video was sent to me today…I found it interesting and thought you might too. It’s of Jim Carrey talking candidly about his spiritual awakening to an audience of GATE filmmakers (Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment).
(I'm having difficulty posting links and editing so I apologize if this post is a little rough around the edges. I'm also having trouble leaving comments on your blogs too as I get dropped off the internet frequently...but I do visit!)
Thanks for visiting dear friends,
Warm and happy blessings to each of you.
