Hello,
The garden is getting ready to harvest and the sun is warming the desert sky. My pool, which has been leaking, is showing signs of turning into a pond. In fact, it is no wonder that I looked out this morning and saw my cat quietly sitting on the deck, watching two ducks swim around in the water. While I am not yet turning green, I have been experiencing energy leakage for some time in my life, a situation not unlike the water seeping out from a hole in my concrete pool. In some ways, I am no different from the pool, sitting in the yard half full of water. As spring settles in, I am contemplating the pool repair. Part of this consideration is the number of times I use the pool, the amount of energy it takes to filter and clean it, the cost of the repair, and the water it takes to keep it full. This is amazingly reflective of where I am also sitting in my life at the moment. For the past few months, I have been struggling to maintain a steady flow of energy in my physical body. While not wanting to give energy to naming my malady, I have had to change up practically everything about the way I spend my days. I, too, have to examine where I am sourcing my energy, what is sustaining me, and how I am sustaining my nourishment. It has been eye opening as I've shifted through this experience. There were days when all I could do was plan and execute the next meal and in between I would nap.
So as we move once again toward the full days of Summer, I am feeling better, and I am looking at what brings me joy. I recently asked a client, "What would you want to do in your life if you only had a year or two to live?" As I asked this question, I knew it was something I needed to probe in myself. How would it be if we all lived life like it was our last days? I think about a fellow shaman who is currently lost at sea. As I check in on her FB page, I see the absolute knowing in her eyes that I can tell that she was clear in where she needed to be and, on some level, all is well. So I have made a pact with myself that I will begin living from my heart. Part of this has led me to being less communicative via email, taking the time necessary to publish my book, and feeding myself clean and organic food every meal. For me, this is as simple as assessing the pool. If I swim ten times in the summer, and the pool is costing me $2000 a year to maintain, those are some very expensive swims. In essence, I will either need to swim more or perhaps know that it is time to let the pool go.
ADDENDUM: I just got this message on my FaceBook
Jade Chabot YES !! Land at last...Thank you for all your prayers and light. A great challenge indeed, it is actually a blessing that we were becalmed a few days and were well off when the Tsunami hit. I wish the captain would have communicated that we were fine and 40 days late is unnaceptable. The greatest gift is the love and th...e support between family and friends. I am so touched by it all.Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
