Finding myself involved in networking and community-building – two areas I never really consciously thought I would be involved in.  Yet, when I think back, I realize I’ve always been doing this – even at times when I just wanted to isolate myself.  With the internet, I am able to still do this, even when I physically alone. 

Today, though, I just want to be by myself.  Again. 

And do nothing for anybody but me. 

And I give  myself permission to do that.  Again. 

Now that’s self-love.

I feel like all whom I love are the catalysts for distraction from my vision and purpose.  And yet, I feel they are also the catalysts for my growth, expansion, illumination processes, and insights — nay, epiphanies!  So, the dilemma resides within — do I set the boundaries, or do I say ‘yes’ to each experience as it presents itself?

So, I picked a card today, from the Mind/Body Makeover set by Mona Lisa Schultz, MD, PhD, that states:

I skillfully act on my ideas and visions, and I free myself from emotionally distracting influences.

Hmmm…. and that is why… I took time to post this today.

Action makes our vision and purpose come alive!

Living in a ‘community-type’ environment, with caregiving involved and marrying that with all the ideas I have to work on, I am feeling the overwhelm of the responsibilities — yet am very joyful.  I don’t know how that can be! 

The opportunities for the ideas to be ‘seen’ are coming very quickly, and I feel a responsibility to keep up with them.  I have had to reduce my communications with the outside world, and have had to pull my energy into my home — where everything is currently happening.  I feel a bit reclusive, and have some guilt over the lack of communication with my close friends.  Yet, I know this is nothing personal towards them — just needing to pull my energy in.  I will need all of it, very soon. 

I am excited.
