Lance – I’m right there with you. Being a over acheiver type sometimes I find it hard to just stop and slow down and take a break. I used to think I had to do do do. I’m beginning to recognize that panic’d feeling of “oh my gosh look at all I have to do” and instead of doing more I stop and relax and do nothing, and usually all of the stuff I think I need to do I don’t really need to do as urgently as I thought. It takes some big courage for me to do this – but it has paid off in huge ways for me.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

What a wonderful beautiful story, thank you Lisa and Christine for sharing it! It makes me think I might be able to change my life too… somehow. I do need courage, I need expansion, I need to leap… still pondering a just right Word.

Happy new Year

Hi Lisa,
What a great year it has been for you! And to see how this one word, courage, has played a role in making your journey become what it is – powerful! I really like how you’ve looked at courage from many different angles – slowing down, moving, building. It’s a reminder to me that it’s not always about going after something – sometimes it takes just as much courage to stop for a while – to take a much needed break – when it’s easier to keep just plowing along. And yet, sometimes that break is just what we need – to get refocused. Lisa, thank you for sharing your story here – very much, I see how this word really manifested itself in your life over the past year.

Lisa – Thanks for sharing your “courage”. Your stories really do en-courage me.

I used to think that courage required a lot of armor (like a charging Joan of Arc)but since the retreat I’ve learned that naked honesty is stronger.

I wish you unrestrained expansion of your truest dreams in 2009!

Cynthia – I remember that – it was your fiber art days. I’m lucky enough to own one of those rare fiber postcards of yours!

Thank you much for the compliments! The year has been pretty magical.

And thanks for the builder referral! My new studio wouldn’t be so awesome had you not recommended him.
