The Flamingo Room commented on bouvie's blog post Days 12, 13, 14, & 15"Christi makes an excellent point about letting go. I like the "loving kindness" meditation in times like these, when I'm feeling resentful. Pema Chodron and Jack Kornfield have good versions of it which you can find online. Sending…"
Christi U. commented on bouvie's blog post Days 12, 13, 14, & 15"Are you going to let that teachers go, both figuratively & literally?"

Where has the time gone? Day 12 I gave via my abilities at the spiritual center.On day 13 I made color copies and for an upcoming event at the spiritual center and distributed a few. I also managed to become amused and forgiving when for the 3rd month in a row one of my teachers missed our scheduled session. Truthfully, I'm still pissed, but I really did experience amusement and forgiveness for a brief spell.Day 14 I taught until my voice gave out. Then I posted fliers and gave via abilities at…See More

On day 9 I changed my schedule to accomodate the spiritual center and taught some meditation. On day 10 I subbed someone's classes. And on day 11, today, I handed out more balloons! This time they went to a few kids and to many adults who enjoyed them in the office at work.
bouvie posted a blog postDays 7 & 8 round 3
Day 7 I washed all the socks and undies in the house though we usually do our laundry separately. I made dinner so my beloved could have time to work on music.Day 8 I taught all my usual classes and tried all kinds of new things. Very validating. I responded to a spontaneous impulse and gave balloons to a random mom who surprised her kids with them. Gave more balloons to some co-workers and neighbors. I took care of the kitchen and had quiet time after dinner, breaking up our usual routine and…See More
The Flamingo Room commented on bouvie's blog post Day 6 round 3"Yay for arts in school! Very important indeed."
Toni commented on bouvie's blog post Day 28 & 29 round two"I love your observations! I too have struggled with the concept of receiving when the intent was to give. Then, I remembered the premise of The Law of Attraction. Now I try to function with the knowledge that when I open myself up to giving to…"

bouvie posted a blog postDay 28 & 29 round two
Still processing day 27's gig. We donated our time & talent, but the gift was to me as well. I had the chance to get some original songs out in the world for new ears to hear. The feed back from the audience was very validating. One woman from the audience told me she has a non-profit called Universal Dream of Peace. She enjoyed the lyrics of my songs and got my info for potential future gig-giving. I also received a free massage on my arm and shoulder from an audience member after she…See More

We are having an interesting dialogue trying to find songs that she…See More
