Yesterday I had lunch with a couple of my friends from my corporate days.  I am honored to have so many wonderful people in my life - even after paths have changed.  We have experienced a lot of change through the years. 

We are so much more than what we do...it is all about who we are and how we support and care for one another, regardless of what we do. 

Jacks and Suz...thanks for caring to spend some time with me.  I enjoyed my time with you! 

The day started out with a bang!  As of Thursday (the deadline for enrolling was a week ago) no one had signed up for the program I was teaching Saturday at Solon.  Friday morning I received a message that 2 people signed up.

What to do? Part of me wanted to say no because one, it was very last minute and we waited beyond the deadline to cancel, and two, I was redirecting my time based on having 2 open days...the prep day and the program.  I wondered if my 'rules' mentality was harming me. 

I decided I would trust the Universe, step aside from my perception of sign-up rules and proceed with the program.  The funny thing is that the enrollees decided to make other plans and cancelled - all within 3 hours! 

In the end, I am quite pleased that I opened myself up in this way without judging the late comers.  This experience helped me trust the Universe and It did indeed step in and 'solve' my timing issues!  Praise God!

After particularly rough times, I find Joy in some quiet time.  Without this I tend to overdue.  Too many things and not enough time often leads me to exhaustion and lots goes with that.

 I know that having more Joy in my life means I must let IT have the time IT needs to continue to expand and fill me and that requires quiet time.
