Gerry commented on Shawn's blog post And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."Its ages since I've read that book , Shawn, thanks! You are right about ACTING people are scared of it, but it only has to be baby steps or micromovements as Sark calls them. I was planning a workshop, but very scared to 'put myself…"
Gerry replied to genuine, wwt, welcomer's discussion Self-Esteem & Giving: How can I feel better about myself?"I started the giving thing for fun. What I didn't expect was that it realigned me with the joyous place of trust in the Universe, the place where nothing can touch you. After I did my 29 days, I lost it again and here is why, I think. Lack of…"

Day 4+5 round 2---refocussed!
Posted on January 29, 2009 at 10:06am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Lost a little of my joy because I lost my focus after round 1. I really need to think-- what will I give today to be truly happy. It is my bit of real consciousness that seems to spread and multiply. It puts me in the moment and it has such power. So I refocussed. I went to see friends yesterday and today and brought cakes for one and flowers for another (she wasn't in---I'd say the flowers were anonymous, but I think she'll guess!) and already I am beginning to feel so much better.

I had the idea to give 29 things on my last day. So I plastered a smile on my face and knocked out at least ten gives before I got to the coffee shop.!! (including cheery Goodmornings!) Everyone wanted to talk to me today (coffee shop nodding acquaintances) so I hope I can count my comments, though I didn't always get there first. Another 8. I bought a bun for my satin connection--- a lady who makes wedding dresses and doesn't mind me nipping in to pick up armhole bits etc. for my art… Continue
Day 28 --The Universe Provides
Posted on January 22, 2009 at 9:19am 1 Comment 0 Likes
Today I gave away 12 little tiny pill boxes. Why? don't ask ! Its too complicated, but they are just the thing to hold something that a group I belong to needs, so everyone was very happy! A lot of the things I have given have been provided by the Universe at little cost--isn't it great? I then went and gave a lovely wrap to a friend that vertically challenged people like me (5' 3" ) can't get away with. She, too was very happy. Oooooow! I forgot the textile recycling also!

Day 27--- Woman found anonymous gift delights crowd!
Posted on January 21, 2009 at 6:46am 4 Comments 0 Likes
I was driving in o town thinking about the little bit of consciousness that it takes to commit to giving some thing every day---how that moment of being present affects you! Then I realised I hadn't thought about my give today at all!! But I found a little parcel I had made upa few days ago sitting in the car laughing at me, so in great good humour I took it and deposited in yet another ladies loo. To cut a long story short, an elderly lady with a stick stopped to tell her friends at a… Continue

There appear to be two ways to spell the name of the African drum I am learning to play; djembe and jembe. There may be others, but those are the two I know of :)

Getting rid of unhygenic I get, but I don't get spotless. Neat and tidy sure, but heck you have to live :)
