Much love my friend :) Sandy, thank YOU for your thoughtful comments and for sharing your experiences.

Today though I am most thankful for my friends and family that have been by my side through some pretty rough times. I begin every day by thinking of things I am grateful for. It is such a positive way to start the day. Chris – I am thankful for so many things these day that it is hard to narrow it down.

When my husband died 2 years ago I found that everyone had an opinion on what I should do..about our home, about dating/not dating, about my finances, about therapy/no therapy, etc. Suddenly, all my friends who weren't widows were experts on what I should do. On the advice of my Mother (a widow herself) I stopped listening to everyone and did what I thought was best for me! Still today I focus on what is best for me and my moniker "It is all about me now!" has become somewhat of a joke among my friends. Chris – I am so glad to have found your writing.

My life took a drastic and expansive turn a few months back and after years of disconnection and fear, I have been on a reflective, sometimes extreme journey back to myself. It has been a time of healing and a time of daring to dream. A time of ferreting out all the baggage I have been hauling around with me and after much sorting and repacking I am optimistic about my future. I strive to live for the day, the moment and the only thing that matters is ‘how I feel’. I may not be clear on what the future entails but I am enthused enough and trust enough in myself and the universe to climb on the mystical adventure safari. I sometimes get stuck in the ‘sacrificing my needs for those I love’, ‘pleasing others to establish my worth’ and ‘grasping for a self-imposed need for perfection’ and not just ‘being me’. I know the secret for me is just pure surrender to the flow of life. I loved listening to your interaction and just having you both verbalize what I have had rattling around in my head. Life has been exposing me with increasing frequency to people that follow their bliss and unearth their creative freedom much like you. So my new year’s “ask” is simply to be who I was born to be, to live each day for the love of it, and spend more time doing the things I love just for the pure heavenly, “joyous smile on my face” experience of it. My passion is writing, it is as natural to me as it is to breathe. So I “ask” that I empower myself to write because it eases my spirit, write for the exploration of seeing what creation unfolds on the pages and write because it is an innate part of who I am. This morning I found myself watching the sunrise bleed over the horizon, the wind playfully cajoling in my hair, the water softly giving way to the relentless pressure of the ferry and I felt invigorated and blessed to be alive. It reinforced for me that life is all about the small stuff, the minutes in-between the focal points of our day, the special people that prompt you to live with intent, laugh with gusto, appreciate small gestures, rejoice in everyone’s individuality and find the wonder in every aspect of being part of the human race. Loving wishes for all in 2012, and know that I have in my sharing already given myself the gift of doing something I passionately love…  Love and Light Lauren-Lee Sydney, Australia I happened to (accidentally on purpose) stumble on your video blog and like all things in life; it was a case of attracting just what I need.

My writing and being at one with nature are some of my "simple pleasures." Just published my first book and I could really identify with that video you posted with the lines "you can only take that step you're taking..."
