First time blogger
I thought I would start blogging as a way to share my new experiences. I have been reading or should I say listening to Ekchart Tole's books, A New Earth and The Power of Now. I have had some tremendous emotions and eye opening experiences through these two books. I have listened to The Power of Now going on the second time. I am just amazed at how every time I listen to it I hear something new. About 3 or more years ago a friend of mine had suggested I read The Power of Now. I did and at that time it was too much for me to fully understand. I picked up the book again recently and began to read it and instantly I was taken in. I decided to down load it to my i Pod, so I could listen while I run. My thinking was I would save time because time is of great value to me these days, and in short supply. As I have listened to these books and these new concepts and ideas presented in these books, I have become quite aware of me. For as long as I can remember I have thought, acted, reacted to circumstances in my life as if that was the only way. Like someone had written out a job description for me to follow, but only the negative parts. It's like I know all the right things, according to my head, to say if someone upsets me or does not do it my way, or if someone said something hurtful to me, which can be hello in my case if I am having a bad day. But I have no idea how to just be supportive of my kids if having a bad day. It is crazy I know exactly how to be mean and hurtful and how I want to be loved, but at the same time I have a hard time accepting love and just being there for someone else. The Power of Now and A New Earth have really helped me. Maybe I was just ready to hear it and accept it for exactly what it is at this moment. Finally! I really hope this does not pass. I really am excited about learning more about who I really am. I guess that is all for now. I will be posting a crocheting project soon. I want to crochet a table cloth.

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." ;) I've done that so many times myself, Lauri. Bought a book and not been ready for it, then when I was ready for it, it was like, "Whoa!"
A doctor that helped Randy Smith first suggested the "power of now" to us. Randy loved it ...
I love them also and have also downloaded him and watched him lived. His choice of language is universal and understandable to vast majorities of people.
So cool ... Linda told me about your blog. hope you don't mind me visiting. It's nice to share when phones and schedules won't allow.
