Whoa.....Vacation turned out to be a gi-normous opportunity to face into my relationship with my parents, my beliefs around self worth and ultimately choosing to be open to receiving, celebrating me & stepping out more boldly in the world! Good!
I went to visit my parents in Florida after my mom was injured in a fall. My goal was to assist her with whatever she needed as she recovered. We had many talks about life, wellness & the choices we make in these areas. Some conversations were easier to have than others. We judged each other, loved each other, supported each other and in the end, grew a bit more lovingly compassionate. Things with my dad did not go so smoothly. We butted (stubborn) heads, didn't talk for 2 days. When I approached him to make peace, which he refused. He left the house on the last day of my trip without saying goodbye (though he knew I'd be leaving for Utah). I felt sad about that. FFWD a few hours....to a phone call from my mom revealing that he had not come home. In all, he was missing 21 hours. As I called hospitals & police stations a flurry of emotions ran through me. Gratitude that I attempted to make peace (my mom's idea), a desperate hope that we would, in the very least, FIND him, faith that no matter what happened, it would, in some way, serve my highest good. It did....First, he was found safe & sound! Second, when daddy called to let me know he was fine (and to say thanks for having been so diligent in trying to find him) a door of communication was opened. We made up and have chosen into creating a new kind of relationship built on love & mutual respect. It has been over 10 years since we've had a healthy relationship. I am happy!
In other news.....
Turn on your heart light: I'm in a relationship! YESsirEE...me! Miss, I'm going to be single for a year & love myself. LOL! FYI: I plan to keep up my 365 days of self love project happenin' as I let myself fall in couple love :) It has been an interesting experience & lesson in "How good can I stand it?" Am I willing to let someone love and adore me for the Queen that I truly am? Am I willing to stand idly by as my friends & girlfriend conspire to surprise & mesmerize me? Am I willing to be inspired, by the love I am receiving, to share love and affection with as many people as I can in a day? Am I willing to be everything I've ever wanted in relationship? Am I willing to love her wildly while being true to myself? Am I willing to cop to the fact that I co-orchestrated this beautiful experience? My answer to all of the above = YES!
School days, school days: Fall semester has begun at Salt Lake Community College, where I teach laughter yoga. THRILLED! is how a feel. I LOVE school (being a student & teaching). I have 42 students that I am poised to encourage to include laughter as a daily practice for living well. These same 42 will be responsible (through fun homework assignments & an interactive term project) to unleash laughter opportunities worldwide! I love that this class was designed to reach students in the classroom & people around the globe! To follow the class' activities, please visit: http://wholebodylaughter.blogspot.com
