Hello! I hope this finds you well!  I am excited for two reasons: 1)  My upcoming season of family celebrations. And 2) the exciting Mindfulness Summit coming up in less than 2 weeks!  In the next 8 days I get to help celebrate: my mom’s birthday, my parent’s anniversary, my niece’s birthday and my birthday. In my family, when it’s time for birthdays, it’s time to gather, have a great happy meal together, laugh a lot and enjoy sharing love.

As many of you know, last week I was working with the Wounded Warrior Project up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  It was a great week.  I am so glad I was there.  While I was up in NH, I hiked with the warriors and wives on the Project Odyssey retreat. I found so many treasures in the forests and fields up in the White Mountains.  While looking at my picutres today I also found some quotes from a Wayne Dyer lecture from probably 8 or 10 years ago:

This week I won’t get to dance with a dolphin. That was 3 years ago. But this week will surely hold some great and unique experiences – maybe moose sightings!  All next week I’ll be helping out the Wounded Warriors Project (WWP) on their Project Odyssey retreat – this time in upstate New Hampshire.

If the world we live in is a reflection of our hearts, what kind of world do we see?  Take a minute to notice what your world looks like to you.  And now think for a minute, what kind of world do you want to see?

At the wonderful age of 50, I was sitting here contemplating, “Will they think I’m stupid? Will I be judged for my spelling?” Seriously?! But I worried- what will my friends or clients or referral sources or even strangers who read this– the ones who are grammarists— what will they think? Will those who don’t know me well judge me as stupid or foolish for not spelling a word correctly? 

Right now, take your pulse.  Go ahead, I can wait…. (I just tried to feel mine in my wrist- I can’t feel it- yikes! No wait–  I can feel it in my throat– whew! There it is. I am officially alive!)
