Preparing – Juicy Heart

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.

Connections – Juicy Heart

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.

Connections – The richness of the fabric of my life.

Today’s blog is dedicated to my friend Conrad. I am so glad for our visit.

Getting there is the fun!

I find that the building, the constructing, the ride there is what moves me and lets me flow. Side trips and excursions from the chosen path are always a plus!

Today I will enjoy the Journey wherever it goes.

Reflections and the JUICY Heart … July 26 2011

From a description of the work of American artist Grant Wood:

“very often people see something in it that reminds them of themselves”

I love to look at the Grant Wood print that is hanging in my gallery. The print is called “Spring in Town”. I often like to look at this print and see where i fit in, see what I am doing today, see how I can be all or perhaps nothing of what is in the scene.

I learn about myself from the reflections of myself that I see on a daily basis. From this learning I can choose to adapt, change, keep or discard, re-write, edit or  record.  Knowing and implementing choice can sometimes be challenging but as the young gardener in my print I am cultivating and from that cultivation the seeds I sow can be fallow or dry and others can flourish and blossom. In order for the garden to grow it must first be cultivated. Learning from the reflections of myself is a part of how I cultivate who I am.

Today I will look for the reflections of myself.
