The single flower that I chose had the desire to be by water and so I took it on a hike to Pink Lake in Gatineua Park and parked it there by the water’s edge

In a coaching question kind of way, where might you wish to re-seed?  If given the gift  or chance.  Or if you were willing to take the chance?

Half Way through the year.  And if you are like me you are scrambling perhaps, a letter or two missing, making do with a W that really is an M.  That is really what we do though.  We make a plan and roll the dice and see what life has to bring to us. Yes, life does bring us things, situations, people, gifts,upsets, surprises, and it is how we move through it all that matters.

That too could be like a plan.  How do you act or react to what shows up.

And I too believe it is important to have a plan, and be able to shift when it shifts, stay fluid and flexible and adjust our course.

What do you mean you had no plan?  No Vision? No goals? Well how you doing now that you are half way?  Did you at least pick 11 intentional words to love by in 2011?

So, perhaps now that we are half way you can get a 50% off deal and really buy into the year.

What are you really invested in?

If not YOU?

What are you learning?
Where are you willing to have a beginners mind?
When will you risk again?
Why stay small?
How will you step into what is next?

Graduation only comes after exploring new beginning’s

Listen here for the two minute audio pondering learning

Celebrate the Ying and the Yang
Be it a bed of tulips
Or a bed of roses
Be it the pain
of a prick

from the very plant
that offers such pleasure

know that it is all one

Celebrate the beauty
Celebrate the unity
Celebrate the all

Open up to the Ying
Open up to the Yang

Hold with Tenderness
Hold with kindness
Hold like a precious new born

Listen in to this weeks audio on the ying and yang of spring and all that reminds us to be in a place of renewal and celebration.

I also see the image of little kids riding the cars at a fair going round and round and round.

Where are you possibly going round and round and round.  Head out on the highway!!

Take a new ride!!!

Listen here for the audio cocktail

Wild wicked storms
fierce howling winds
Howling
Howling like the wolves

awakening the women
that howl
with the wolves

Ripping through the streets
trees topple
ripped from their base
now hanging sideways

yet alive still
for a while
some left to die
a slow death

a saw will
come
to rip through the limbs
and stack the once tall tree

into firewood
another use

Burn burn burn
rise up

Again

It is my pleasure to offer some alternative ideas to what nature already gives us the clue.. This is truly a guilt free cocktail if you are willing to listen to your internal storms.

Listen here.

Noticing the contrast of green and green in nature.  It is when we explore the full range and contrast that we are able to enjoy it all.

Listen to the audio cocktail and leave space to notice the full range that exists in nature and in YOU too.

Embrace your shadow and live in the light.

In the study of animal medicine the icon for the owl represents wisdom and perceptive knowing.  I often remind my women soaring of the powerful wisdom that lies within them.  When we combine this wisdom and find room to also laugh at our humaness and the absurdity of our predicaments we find room for more Pleasure.
