Travelling JOYFULLY Home

The journey continues as I return home today.

There is a spring in my step and I feel light, excited and happily relieved to be on my way home. Like the little dog in the photo I feel like I am bounding along, paws off the ground, tail in the air!

Today I will travel joyfully filled with the pleasure of returning home to the arms of my husband. ❤

Travelling home with a bounce in my step! August 16, 2011

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.

Diving in DEEP with a JUICY Heart

Diving in DEEP helps me maintain a JUICY Heart. The excitement and thrill of going down deep, not knowing what to expect and being on the edge of the unknown is thrilling. For me this is like a Zip Line or a Roller Coaster. If I get on and get off and simply freeze in between, not breathing, not allowing for the experience, I will not enjoy or be a part of the experience. SO, I get on that Zip Line, ride that Roller Coaster and partake fully in the experience diving in deep, breathing fully and letting the experience move through my body. I might event laugh or scream or shake or giggle, cry or swear or be really messy. All of this expression is part of the experience part and allows me to be exactly how and who I am.  😉

I know and trust that the experience will carry me and that I am more me for partaking fully in all of the expereince.

Today I will TRUST and DIVE IN DEEP!

Giving…

The simple JOY of GIVING…

Giving JOYFULLY and with a WHOLE HEART. Giving until there is nothing left but JUICE

That was today and now I will sleep and dream and get up tomorrow and give again. There is nothing more or less, simply the charitable act of giving.

Getting WET!

All day I have been dreaming about how nice it will be to be in the big outdoor pool swimming along… doing my best to swim the distance, dancing through the water.

Even though the day was stress and deadlines and “this has to be done NOW!”… Thinking about the pool and the meditative and balanced art of swimming has had me stay focused all day long. I have been looking forward to the stretch, the measured breathing and the ballet that my body does as I go length to length. I have been looking forward to the water and the sky and the coolness and the liquid feeling that I have as I get into the water, warm up my body to the workout and then go the distance.

Off to be wet and juicy and dance in that limpid blue pool.

Today I will be focused and enjoy the dream of what to pool can bring.

What was Juicy?

What Created Juice?

Today it was curiousity. Wondering what was around the next corner. Wondering what would happen next? Wondering what would appear throughout the day?

The day presented itself, many events happened, there were some successes, some wash outs, some total failures. None of these really mattered because it was all about what was going to appear next. Not getting stuck on any one element and trusting that there would be more or less that there would be a constant flow of next.

I enjoyed trusting today that there would be constant flux and change.
