Knowing that I have friends and family that love me, that I have my health, that I have visions for the future, knowing that I have had many blessing in my life... great opportunities, and many amazing souls that have walked with me on my path. I also feel wealthy while I'm doing school work and knowing that I am making some of my dreams come true. And I feel wealthy when I can help someone in need, like the Upaya Prison Outreach Program... I feel like I can share the dharma with them and teach them what I've learned about meditation. And always, I feel wealthy and honored that all of these people in my life give me back so much. It is priceless.
How do you handle change in your life?

Well, it's a bit either/or. No, I don't mean that I read Kierkegaard and then make a decision. I either see that things can change and am excited about potentials. I get excited when things can expand, transform, and evolve. On the other hand, when change happens because someone needs to keep busy, I'm slow to change. When I understand why change is happening I embrace it well. Even in tragedy like some things going on in the town my parents live in, I can still understand the change and know it's part of life.
I've had a lot of changes in life and I think it has been so that I could learn that nothing is as it Is forever.

I'm taking the risk to step outside of my conditioned way of thinking of who I am, forgetting who people have told me I am, and stretching.. one of those really good dog or cat stretches... (I've been with two dogs for 2 months now and they are teaching me a lot).
I'm reaching out to others who I might be afraid to reach out to in the past. I'm way outside my comfort zone and just taking it in, breathing, and knowing that mystery is part of creativity and growth.
I'm taking a risk on living the dream I have right now.......
Namaste, Jen

I don't know if I really like that word... to me, it has a connotation like "forever"... but the closest thing I would say is my mindfulness practice. Even when the world gets crazy, more goodbyes happen, things spin the wrong way, my breath is always there, my feet always feel the floor, and brown rice always tastes better. Sometimes, that's about as secure as things need to be. Anything more than that and it feels like I get into illusion....
Of course, I get great strength from the people I love, both alive and dead. I'm pretty far from everyone I know right now but feel like they are right here with me. That is comfort and it is empowering...

"You cannot teach a [man] anything. You can
only help him discover it within himself."
- Galileo Galilei: Was an astronomer, physicist, and philosopher
I think I am taking the time I need to take care of myself. I hope that the people around me
especially my clients and co workers learn from that.
When the well is dry you need to take the laddle out
for awhile.
I feel more like I am a sponge right now, learning instead of
teaching for a change....
It's scary and I feel the growing pains, but
I believe it needs to happen before the next great thing.
Peace to all.

I've put this question off because right now, I do not know and am trying to be open to what that is.... it is an excellent mantra for me professionally and personally right now.
