I’m really touched today. By life. By love. By joy. By the joy that comes from the love of life!
And it’s all so simple today. So easy.
Monday night I was officially booked for a lecture/workshop at the Heart and Soul Expo in North Cyprus (yes, the country Cyprus) and was even given an exhibit table, if I want it. And it all came about so smoothly, easily and magically. In fact, it came from a decision and a “mistake”. Guess there’s not such a thing.
On Monday I also scheduled my 1st ever “Through the Eyes of Love” workshop here in Los Angeles.
This one action — this one step forward in faith and joy — feels like it has taken a lifetime of waiting, dreaming, sitting and stewing, sometimes worrying (sometimes more than not) and finding the perfect feeling around it all. Last year was about surrender. This year is about stepping out in front of the many rather than the few. And so, I stepped.
And what’s truly remarkable for me is that I haven’t been falling into any of the old patterns around putting myself out there in a workshop or lecture manner. See, in the past, I’d set something like this up then obsessive about how many people would attend and I’d run the numbers in my mind trying to figure out how much money I’ll make and if it will meet my needs and make me happy.
This time, I’m offering it by donation, giving 50% of the donations to my favorite food bank and — I don’t really care about the money.
That’s because I’m touched by joy in doing the whole thing. I love this work! It’s what I came here to do. I do it well and naturally and with love and joy in my heart. After several years of doing this work with a select handful of friends, it really is now time to bring it out into the world.
And it’s happening so easily and effortlessly.
Today, as I walked around Korea Town, enjoying me and the city surroundings I stated that I didn’t care how many people came to the workshop or how much money I will make (and I will!) but that there be a group of fun-spirited, open-hearted people who want to feel better and are willing to go there with me. The rest, is taken care of.
This, to me, is an expression of being touched by joy. And I am filled with appreciation for being here now.
