I'm here...

I am back from Boston, and what a wonderful honor it was to spend my days with Stacy (dissertation committee member), Gina AKA the wolf coach) and Cheryl (spiritual messenger ~ she knows when to pray for me when I don’t know when to pray for me). We had a fabulicious time writing, meditating, collaborating and being present with one another. I am elated, tired, nourished and sore…..
When I travel I like to people watch….leaving Sky Harbor offered just as much entertainment as leaving Logan….saw a lady with a baby stroller for her dog, listened in on a couple from South Africa talking about reverse apartheid…yes, hmmm….and watched people rush for their planes….they were funny….dropping stuff, body parts flapping….I couldn’t make this stuff up….I got to Boston actually Sunday because I took the red-eye and slept most of the way. Once I arrived at Stacy’s, a hot shower, clean clothes and a good meal made for a lovely Sunday. The next 2.5 days were filled with everything goodness…..I even shopped a little at Harvard, I felt smart just being on the campus and dinner at one of my favorite restaurants….Legal Seafood.
Although many still call me crazy for continuing on with my doctorate degree, it keeps me grounded and motivated to make a difference….sounds corny but it’s true….I want to bring empathy to professional sports organizations and by dang-it I’m gonna do it….creating stormy seas…..some of my harshest critics are family and they know our family is strong and cut from a metal cloth so what’s the big deal?

So I am listening to my body today, I have help at the house so I am alleviated of the stress of too much dirt in my space….hubby cooked a dinner ahead so that’s taken care of BUT I have tons of papers to grade and a few requirements for school to complete before Monday…..I will get it done, I have no choice….

I have come across some good sayings this week….. Larry said this one: The way you do nothing, is the way you do everything ~ and Jen said this one: ....Movement creates life; stillness creates love; to be still and still moving, that is everything……

So while I am still I will still be moving….I was reminded to not let the stressors of life interfere with my recovery or my goals….I came home to some crazy emails and letters, but I am surprised how I am easy to ignore them because in the grand scheme of things….I am looking for the vein in the leaf…SAVING MY LIFE…..
