Isn't it simply magical when the elements around us are in "painful disturbance" as I like to call them? There are no issues or problems that need to be resolved, looked at, worked on or solved. I remember thinking if "I am that I am" then "Thay are that they are" which to me means that they they are not me, not of me and are simply elements that have come into my awareness, my line of sight so to speak, to allow me to practise my one great truth - "I am that I am". In other words to allow all of those "forces" to be without me looking at them with fear, worry or doubt. They are, after all, allowing me to practise what I believe in a time when my life is not 'aligned' or 'the way I'd like it'. These are the times that test our faith and it's these times that give us that next awareness shift... Beautiful, to the point and very “spot on”.

That's right! NO leader can lead all the time. Everyone needs "down time" to rejuvenate. In sharing the lead, and the power that accompanies it, one also has the opportunity to get in touch with their humility, which is very important in leadership! Thank you for your comments.

You are so right. We are part of a community, and within that community we support each other. Sometimes we lead, sometimes we follow, and other times we travel side-by-side. If we try and do it by ourselves, eventually we get tired, falter and then we cannot fly. gg Donna, I love what you have written today. You are so right.

This is the magic of living. This is the magic of life…

People have often asked me, “What is life about?”

Well, it’s exactly what you’ve said so perfectly above. Be – IN THE MOMENT and in that place everything else vanishes into nothingness.

It really is a practise of staying relaxed, open and in the magical moment of NOW that gives us our passion for life. Our love for life and everything in it. Our magnificent joy and appreciation for all the things that enter our lives and our awareness…

Can’t wait to read your new book, Donna. Oh magificent creator you…
