What a year it has been! I personally have had one huge rollercoaster ride, amazing highs and dips, spins, starts, stops and lows. I have felt exhilaration and exhaustion all in the space of a week. I am so grateful for the massive business growth of my business, my extraordinaryfriends and the love of my close family members. I have learnt so much, even though definitely felt someone was peeling the legendary onion with a blunt knife at times; through determination, vision and steely resolve let the layers fall away.

Has this made me a better person? Has it all been worth it? Is there a meaning in the pain, the ups and downs? I have to believe that there is and that even though at times I don’t get the process and order of things that there certainly is one. The most profound thing I have learnt this year, through my own experiences and those that surround me, is that where my focus is, my attention and my associations of past experiences, is how I react to the now. It is something I always knew, and the events of this year have certainly brought a deeper level of understanding.

I now look to the future more; I now see the present with different eyes. I no longer define myself on whom and how I have been, yet more on who I am being and becoming. I plan to step into 2012 with more vision,more purpose, more courage, more love and much more focused intent than ever before. I have firmly decided that I am a sum of my actions today and I get to choose my actions for tomorrow. Read more ...

Yesterday I was feeling pretty grumpy and beseiged.  Overwhelmed by how far behind I am tucking vines on the vineyard where we live.  In the hot of the summer days, I can only stay out there four hours and then beat a retreat to the shady indoors, watching helplessly as the vines fall all over the place in wild disarray.   They are happy enough, its just that we can’t get a tractor between the untucked rows.  Added to this was one of the  melodramas–whoever put the word melo in front of drama?  nothing mellow about this–with teenage daughter number 4.  At this stage in my life I have pretty well worn down my gatekeeping desires, and yet when she strays far off path, I have to put on my armour, grab my sword and wade into the fray.  It is wearying, frustrating, not good for my heart or health and way, way off my pursuit of pleasure!

Ah, the pursuit of pleasure.  I left everything.  Stormy teenager, sprawling vines, articles that needed to be written, supper to be prepared and did the emergency call.  “Can you get me in for a pedicure?”   I spent an hour of pleasure, eyes closed, vibrating chair, good magazines, girl talk, and beautiful red toes.  I love my red toes.

Now when my daughter walks into the room and I feel the invitation to anger and battle, I just look down at my toes and wiggle them a bit.  Waves of pleasure give me the strength to be standing in here.  I am now a Warrioress with painted toes.  Sheer pleasure.

"It's our attitude TOWARD our circumstances that creates our experience OF our circumstances."

We had a situation last week at our first stop on our Successfully MidAir Tour... we could have "awfulized" it if we had chosen that. This is just a little 6-minute video of some of what that was about, and some insights gained from the experience.

The sound track is just a little off... just an fyi. But oh well! :-) We ARE having a Grand Adventure!!

Much love,

The Reverend and Rick

Welcome to our Successfully MidAir Tour!! This is a great first episode, as an introduction to what we are doing and why we are doing it. There are some sound issues... LOTS of powerful Energy flowing through my conversation with Rachel! (Lots of ECHO on my end. Thank goodness we can't hear it in the recording.)

I'll come back later and flesh this post out a little bit... but right now, I'm packing my things and tearing down my computer so I can Leap into my MidAir experience... Headed for the Ellen DeGeneres Show and realizing my husband's Dream!

I'll be uploading new episodes every once in a while as we travel, so check back often! It is BOUND to be fun!!

What is your only problem?  It is the same problem in your relationships, your community, your work and in the world as a whole...that problem is a sense of separation...and it is an illusion.   Science has proven that everything is interconnected, and here you can listen to the overall explanation of the problem of separation as well as 10 steps you can take to increase your sense of connection and 'oneness' in your life and at work.

Does your appearance really matter?

Is it superficial, or is it a legitimately significant element of your "attractor factor" for success and happiness?
