Letter Ll Progress Report


              I’m only a few weeks into the practice of focused discernment between my Self and my self that I wrote about in my January newsletter.  Well, folks, it looks like it’s going to be a long, long year. 

          As much as I like to think of myself as enlightened, conscious, unfailingly kind and compassionate, real life experiences keep showing up that prove otherwise.  Just ask my husband of 35 years.  I’ve nearly bitten his head off twice in the past two days.

          We are preparing for a big remodeling of our really old kitchen.  All we’re doing is making decisions at this point and already my serenity is coming apart at the seams.

          The only thing that’s been keeping me sane is my Bikram Yoga practice.  Yes, there’s a Group-on out right now for it that’s attracting some real bozos to the studio … to the class I happen to be taking … and the challenge to stay out of judgment and anger is enormous … it’s still my best ticket to a quiet mind.
