THANKS for your kind words; the journey is intense, is it not? I enjoyed your musings as well!<BR/><BR/>stephanie - thanks! Sometimes I worry I give a distorted view when I post about the end-results of the paradigm shifts, the good parts. Good to show a little of the messy struggle to get there sometimes, keep it real. <BR/><BR/>peacegoddess - yes, I'm going! Sent in my registration. A hotel room, huh? You GO grrl.<BR/><BR/>stephanie s. - YES. I used to say "I'm so glad you struggle with that too" but realized I didn't want to say I'm glad someone struggles. :) It is, however, helpful, as you say, in being kinder, gentler to ourselves as we stretch. We don't always get it right. I think it's the ones who can grow from the mistakes that make it over the long haul.<BR/><BR/>life with us - hi! Sometimes I have to tell my inner whiner/martyr to 'shut the h*ll UP already' because sometimes she gets up in my stuff before I even realize what's going on. It happens less these days, thankfully. It gets easier as we get more creative and more yes-oriented!<BR/><BR/>vickie - well you came to the right place today then! I'm even sorry to admit that yesterday was worse than the day I wrote about. I even knew it, and still seemed powerless to stop it. Yoga helped. Need.More.Yoga.<BR/><BR/>skyelark - hey grrl, good to see you here! I didn't recognize your username but the goat cheese stand was a dead giveaway. :) I've always known you to be a healthy questioner, that's why I've always been drawn to you! We need to get together more often... Think on how!piscesgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279344142538980436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27398888.post-18373422235055880202007-12-09T14:15:00.000-06:002007-12-09T14:15:00.000-06:00Oh Laura, I love to read your blog and your respon...Oh Laura, I love to read your blog and your responses. . . almost makes me want to get to work on the ole blog myself, it sounds so fun and satisfying and helpful. Only problem is I'm afraid if I actually start to think about my life in a more conscious way I might start to make even more crazy radical decisions about it than I already am - like maybe quitting the job and starting that goat cheese stand and stumping for Kucinich, and growing my own vegetables and baking my own bread again. And then what would happen. <BR/><BR/>Yikes - what I really need is a Mom I can bounce ideas off of. I feel like I haven't made a single good decision since my Mom became too ill to be my bouncer. Can the Webalific World out there provide the same mixture of irreverence, honesty and humor? I feel like one of those cartoon characters that keeps smacking into walls. . . and OK my inner whiner doesn't take much to get activated either does it???<BR/><BR/>Anyway - your blog and the links to it are my new weekend sanity that keeps me questioning in a healthy (I think) way - thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27398888.post-90099375315880722052007-12-09T08:59:00.000-06:002007-12-09T08:59:00.000-06:00Loved your post.

Thank you for painting such a wonderful picture about the constant struggle within... this scenario reminds me when a new friend recently sent me a note saying that new emotional management concepts that I'm irritated by/struggling with have to flex to fit ME, not the other way around. I was gladdened, and reminded in this moment that it's all good. You rock.Scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01141387000033833209noreply@blogger.com
