Today is about Pleasure
What brings and delivers pleasure to me? What edifice do I have to break apart to allow pleasure?
Simple delight… the Pleasure in Beauty…
Today I will dive in deep and experience the pleasures around me. ❤

This time of year is always like the beginning to me. Transition is in the air.
The earth is preparing for the fall, trees and fruit and flowers are pulling the juice from the earth to enrich themselves, the light is changing in the sky, the weather moves in unfamiliar patterns and I feel like this is the transition into a new time.
And YES! this really is the transition into a new time. There is much to prepare for and lots to dream and scheme and plot and plan and get ready for. I pull the juice from my earth to ripen and enrich my experience.
September will bring a Body Electric workshop to Toronto that we have not had in many years. October will bring some new events into my coaching practice. November will bring some new elements as the Body Electric is here in Toronto again and I will be introducing some new elements into my breath and bodywork practice. December brings a trip to a meeting to plan for the NEW Body Electric and I am excited and happy for this great opportunity.
The real New Year will bring many new elements, several co-creations and of course there will be surprise.
I adore that all around me is getting ready for harvest. The fruit on the vine and branch is developing juice and flesh to burst forth with the ripe sweetness of the fall.
Today I will savour the summer and be active in preparing for the next transition. Loving and laughing and smiling as I live and breath.
Heart on Olive Wood
The Summer Day
by Mary Oliver
Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper I mean—
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down—
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don’t know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
Smiling helps… YES it always helps
Today my smile came from Dr. Seuss
and another…
and finally…
Enjoying all the mutual weirdness in my life… ❤
Connections with other BEINGS make my life Juicy. ❤
When I feel connected and present with other beings I feel like my life is of value. When I communicate and give myself to the pleasure of another, I feel my life is connected to other beings. When I feel connected with others and my life, I feel JUICY and liquid and like the fabric of life is immeasurably rich.
Today I will let myself be connected and purposefully connect to whatever BEINGS cross my path. I will weave these connections into the rich and liquid fabric of my existance.
Today’s blog is dedicated to my friend Conrad. I am so glad for our visit.
Today is a day of care for me.
Today I will give myself some extra care. The delight and pleasure of refreshing energy as I prepare for the coming week. The extra care will be in allowing and permissing the dream and action of what lies ahead. I will spend some time today planning and conspiring over possibilities that lie ahead over the next few months.
Today I will be open to the balance of rejuvination. I look forward to the replenishing charge that some dreaming will bring. I relish in the excitement that builds around creating something new.
Home! Sweet Home is sweet!
I have the urge to sleep for the day. I feel more strongly that the still and deep waters are churning. I am glad to be home because I can dive in feeling rejuvinated and inspired for what lies ahead. I know I can harvest the power of the deep waters, knowing that the safety and surity of home will help guide my journey.
Today I will follow the path that leads to inspiration and creation all the while trusting that all will manifest.
Juicy Heart Power Surge with Zodiak ready.
Exploration the theme for the day.
Exploring finding new and old, tried and untried. Exploring the way to find excitment and pleasure.
Today I will explore with an open heart
Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Today the Juicy heart is made more Juicy by acknowledging the good.
I am in a daily practice of looking to see if an action, a movement, a thought is “good”, “constructive” or “expansive”. I want more of each of these and so I look to see where I am going, what I am doing, what I am getting and I monitor if each is “good”, “constructive” or “expansive”. If I am moving along and I am getting lots of “good” I continue to move in that direction. If I am doing something, anything, and I sense a lot of “destructive” energy I change course and start to do something more “constructive”. If I am getting a whole lot of “contraction” I shift things up so I start to get some “expansion”.
All choosing what I want and moving towards that desire.
Today I will be aware of my desire and let myself have what I want.
The JUICY Heart ❤
