Wow. What great content. There are a couple of ideas in here I'm just itching to try.

Thanks so much, Jess! Happy New Year.

It never occurred to me before to have "winter" décor. I love this idea. Keeps things fresh. I'm curious, Jess, for a dresser the size that you have there (below your tv), how much chalk paint would it take to cover and would you do one coat or two? I have a dresser just waiting to be revamped and 2017 is the year it shall happen. Love your pics.

My first call, so glad to be here. With every prompt, movement came up. Self care, walks on the beach. Without movement I lose myself. I could live without movement but not for long. My maybes, maybe daily movement will help me feel better. Maybe my mind needs a daily walk as much as, if not more than, my physical body. Maybe who I truly am is on the other side of daily walks. I will decline to abuse myself this week by remaining sedentary.
It's a beautiful, sunny morning on Vancouver Island. Out I go, just around the block, even though I've been sick the past two days. Movement.

Now I have evidence that it's okay to let my kid study with noise around her (music, tv, movie) - within reason, of course. Great post!

Re: Don’t Avoid Painful Writing

Sue Dyson — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:41:26 -0000

It's interesting. Often as I write out my pain, both during and through the other side, it eventually dissolves into nothingness. I have worked out some of the most searingly painful moments of my life to the point of completely shifting the perspective. The cause of pain is often due to attachment to some particular idea of how things are supposed to work out. The pain is not been the thing itself, after all, but my attachment to what I once believed. Writing out the pain - THROUGH the pain - is a documentation of the creative life process. Just as our writing helps us recognize ourselves, it also helps others recognize themselves.

Really, really inspiring read. Thanks, Ash. Paving the way.

Those 6 questions are compelling. Immediately I wanted to ask my friends to answer them for me, OF me. I know, though, the answers are within. They just aren't quite evident yet. My plan is to commit them to memory and watch the answers unfold in my life, as my life over the next few days. Thanks for the inspiration!

Re: Danielle LaPorte on the Fire Starter Sessions

Loved this. Short and sassy. It crazes me how we get stuck thinking the work we do has to be full of struggle and suffering. Following our passions is easy, once you figure it out. I liked the balance of knowing how much you want to make in a year. Practical advice that often gets forgotten. Thanks.

Re: Thank you!

Sue Dyson — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:22:22 -0000

I came to this blog post through Twitter. You said you were feeling bracingly honest and I was interested to see what you meant. Honesty rocks. It's hard sometimes, but there's always a way to be gently honest. The cost of not having your voice heard is tragic, so say what you need to say. Real friends let friends be themselves and love them anyways.

Thank you so much for sharing these with us. We DO need to be reminded of so much on this Earth journey.

Danielle, I watched the other night. You left me wanting more :) Thank you to whoever decided to have Danielle on Mark's show. Good t.v.

Thank you for this kick. A timely reminder of a missing element for me. Feeling lately I'm stuck in the desert of my life right now, as if I'm waiting..and waiting. And maybe I am, but if I don't add swiftness to the inner work, I'll never know.

Re: burning questions with ingrid vandervelt (insert vroom vroom sounds)

Sue Dyson — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 13:09:40 -0000

Wow, Danielle, this post has sent me on an enlightening three-hour journey of self-discovery. I had not heard of Keith Ferazzi. Checking his book out sent me to YouTube to find more which then led me to discover all kinds of other excellent motivating videos. So, in two more simple, yet powerful words, thank you.

Re: How to Clear Negative or Limiting Belief Patterns Part 1

Sue Dyson — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 08:56:16 -0000

I just spent a few minutes doing this exercise. No, it wasn't nice to look at the negatives, but if you aren't willing to look at what lurks in the shadow, you can't bring it out into the light. Our less than desirable shadow aspects will continue to affect us until we are prepared to release them.

Great article. Thank you.

Totally enjoying these burning question answers! You've inspired me to update my altar today. I'm also going to take the questions and answer them for myself. I like Gretchen's first commandment, too. Simple excellence.

Re: The 7 Keys To Find Life Purpose Through Living With Passion

Sue Dyson — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:25:49 -0000

The point on integrity resonated with me. I needed this today, thank you. I'm one of those moms who often says yes to everything in order to be "helpful" to organizations and people. I am learning (slowly, it seems) that I compromise my integrity every time I say yes, get overwhelmed, then break my commitment because it's all too much. I say yes to be helpful because I don't know what matters most to me. Yet. I am determined to honor myself after reading this, and clarify my passions. Great article.

Re: My name’s Rob Bell, and I’m a Webaholic

Sue Dyson — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:11:48 -0000

Dang! My name is Susan and I'm a webaholic. I am also surprised when I cross paths with someone who is fearful of jumping in with both feet. Hard to remember NOT being a webaholic. Found you through Tagfoot =)

Re: My name’s Rob Bell, and I’m a Webaholic

Sue Dyson — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:05:48 -0000

Oh dang. My name is Susan and I'm a webaholic. I also marvel at the fear about jumping into the game. I wonder if they're secretly aware they too, would become webaholics. Maybe the fear they have is healthy. Hmmmm.

Re: what it means to forgive

Sue Dyson — Thu, 07 May 2009 12:58:06 -0000

Compelled to share my two cents...forgiveness is an inside job. To give again, to see the event as the gift it was intended to be. When we are gifted with events that cause us hurt, we are always given a choice on how to respond. "You caused me pain and I'm the victim. I'm going to give away my power". Then, with forgiveness, or a willingness to look at it again with the intention of seeing the gift, I can say "Thank you for taking on that role which, although hurtful at the time because I didn't know any better, helped me eventually realize my power."

Re: The "Pop Zeitgeist" Secret to Healing and Anti-Aging

Sue Dyson — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 12:32:43 -0000

Angelique, thank you for sharing with us. I also feel we've reached the tipping point.

I meditate daily, for about 20 minutes. Some days twice, some days get missed. I see the real benefit of sitting now, in that my days flow better and I feel connected. A day of not meditating feels less than great, so I do what makes me feel good.

I practice various types of meditation. Experimenting, going with the flow.

What brought me here was a desire to understand why seemingly rotten things happened in my life. I searched until I understood.

I don't have one favorite book, I have many! Some authors I enjoy are Caroline Myss, Sonia Choquette, Stuart Wilde. But I read whatever resonates. I read lots of blogs.

Looking forward to hearing more from you, connecting with others.
