I think of re-entry as like a kaliedescope with a new bit of colored glass thrown into the design. The re-creation of the design and realignment of all the bits to integrate this new bit is stimulating for sure, and can be sweet and challenging and sometimes painful - but always a thing of human beauty!

If so, I don't have the audio, but Mary gave me the visual to work with. Let me say how effective it is- I found myself tearing up, and am often emotionally affected by those around me. This is something that because apparent after a visit to Rwanda, where many fantastic people grew close to my heart, and hearing their testimonies of their experience during the 1994 genocide made many things on an emotional level very 'real' to me. Since working with Mary's meditations, I have found on days when I have meditated, that this helps keep me together- just like an egg! Also, it means that when I'm talking with someone I'm able to be an open space for them, instead of getting into their same muck, we are both able to have a clearer view. It makes it possible to connect more positively and openly, because when negative energy is around I seem to curl up and close. I really believe Mary's work is grounded in truth, and she's doing a fantastic job. Is this the one you blessed me with? If so, I don’t have the audio, but Mary gave me the visual to work with.

To fill the rest of you in, we're talking about <a href="http://http://www.truecolors.org/" rel="nofollow">True Colors Personality Typing</a>. Gold is a perfectionist and a leader, Orange is spontaneous and adventurous, Blue is a nurturer and a peacemaker (I tied blue and gold, just for the record), and Green is logical and a visionary.

As a self-employed publicist, there is usually never enough time in the day to get stuff done for my clients, let alone marketing my own business, writing my blog, etc, etc, etc. As a single parent with a young son, I also have 100% responsibility for cleaning, cooking, food shopping, and laundry. Where does self-care or just time to chill out come in? Don't have any solutions, but I hear ya, sister! I just try to do the best I can every day, and if I really screw it up, tomorrow's a new day... I also struggle with this all the time.

It took me a bit to get used to at first, but now I really miss it when I don't have it. You are most welcome!

]]> Comment on The Pain of Discipline vs. the Pain of Regret by Mary http://walkswithin.com/2009/12/discipline-vs-regret/comment-page-1/#comment-34 Mary Mon, 04 Jan 2010 04:51:08 +0000 http://walkswithin.com/?p=240#comment-34 Good questions, Whitney. Part if it goes back to something I learned at Enlightened Warrior Training Camp. It has to do with manifesting what I want in my life. As an Enlightened Warrior, my word is law in the Universe. If I say I'm going to do something, even if I just say it to myself, then I have made a commitment and to stay in integrity with myself and my values, I need to follow through and keep that commitment. If someone else tells me they are going to do something, then I depend on them to do it; I expect them to keep their word. So I'm really not expecting more of myself in this case than I expect of my friends. Now, with regards to unrealistic expectations, that's another story! I often think that I will be able to accomplish more in a limited time than I end up being able to do, and that frustrates me. But in that case, the goal I have set to accomplish X (like writing the introduction pages for all of my guided meditations) is not unrealistic at all. What WAS unrealistic was the time frame I had set to have it completed (the end of my Christmas break). So, I take a deep breath, and adjust the time line, and move forward. I will get them all completed, just not before I have to go back to work on Tuesday! :) Does that make sense? Blessings, Mary Good questions, Whitney.
