How am I doing today?
Well, I was (somehow) first in line to drop off my registration for school this morning, so I'm reasonably certain I'm going to get my preferred schedule, with the teachers I wanted for next term, I *aced* my kinesiology mid-term today (!!!), and then had a lovely 40 min. abdominal and head/neck massage in swedish by one of my favorite fellow students. (She and I are also doing another hour long each massage trade tomorrow). And, I just made a spicy, miso-y, braggs-y, carrot-y, shiitake-y, rainbow chardy, green oniony, noodly plate of yumminess...
So...on a scale of 1 to Awesome, I'm doing pretty freakin fantastic. :)

On creating our collective reality:
An excerpt from the January 2012 new moon that has just passed (by Rebekah Shaman):
Things can happen unexpectedly during this year, both positive and negative, so make sure your intentions and destination is clear. There is no such thing as luck. The outcome of this year will depend on where you decide to focus your energies.
Focus them on serving humanity, planet Earth and all living things and this year has the potential to be an exciting, fulfilling and magical year, with mindblowing synchronisities and connections.
Choose to act selfishly, with no regard to how your actions are affecting others or Mother Earth and you will find this year becoming a struggle, in all areas. You are creating your own luck and this year we will see the dichotomies more clearly defined.
* * *
I agree with these words and this overall sentiment wholeheartedly. However, the question I have been exploring lately is: How do I *not* act selfishly? Aren't all of my desires and actions that arise from those desires...selfish? ...just by the simple fact that they are satisfying a need of *mine*?
Perhaps I'm over thinking this. I do understand and respect that my choices and actions do definitely have an effect on others and on the earth, from a micro to macro scale. And, I consider these impacts with most of the choices I make in my daily life. I'm just confused about intent, sometimes.
I *do* hope and intend for the best possible outcome for all involved when making a choice that clearly affects the lives of other people around me. And, I do want these decisions to be reached by mutual agreement. And...sometimes, I wonder if my creative energy in manifesting what I want to see in the world is always truly coming from that place of equanimity and altruism (my *heart*), and/or if it comes from a place (almost unconscious, perhaps), of my *mind* trying to orchestrate a way to satisfy a purely selfish need that is deeply rooted and not even totally apparent to me.
Hmmm.
I guess I'll just keep on keepin' on...doing the best I can.
Thoughts...?

Letting go
evokes the deepest feelings of peaceful contentment and satisfaction I can imagine or express.
I feel profound gratitude at this moment for all the people, situations and circumstances in my life which have offered me the opportunity to let go.

Dang!
Missed another day yesterday. This really *is* quite the challenge. But! I'm sticking with it, nonetheless.
Circumstances in my life have been slowly building to a chaotic climax again, and I'm trying hard to handle it all differently than I have in the past. I think it's working.
My method: stopping. listening. breathing. moving on.
