    Reading this, I felt like you were leading me through the thought processes in your head. It was a pleasant journey that, at its end, offered me permission to live life more fully — 😉

    Loved this! I’m an on-again off-again flake when it comes to exercise, but when I read this (and the addendum!) I connected with how much it matters to the MIND to work the BODY. I used to walk every morning for 30 minutes. And then, suddenly, I stopped. Now I walk randomly, here and there, and I know that it’s not enough–both for my body and for my soul! I feel like I’m not giving my body the attention it deserves. You know? Like I’m letting it down!

    Thanks for sharing. Great reminder …and I love the “I am granting myself permission to have a large life.” I think that’s what I’m missing. Permission. Wish I was there to share this with you! Have fun!!

    Boy, I loved this on so many levels. I love that whole synchronicity thing..how one little comment sets of a chain reaction in someone else’s head, which morphs into something big in that person’s life.

    I love the idea of the body mind connection, because I know that’s true. I walk in the morning, but I’d like to incorporate yoga into my exercise regimen too. When I start the day by moving my body, I feel tons better all day long. And all the time I’m walking, I’m thinking, and get some of my best ideas when I’m engaged in “moving meditation.”

    I love the notion of “giving yourself permission” to try new things, to be open to something different even if it seems silly or weird at first. Of being “open to the light” instead of remaining safely ensconced in our own little closet of sameness and darkness.

    Wow – sorry for writing an addendum to your lovely post! Obviously, it was inspiring 🙂 Thanks!!

    I have taken to telling my husband how, beautiful, smart, interesting, funny and amazing I am. Not to sound at all conceited or boastful. I am really just exclaiming the fact to myself and he just happens to be in ear shot. But, the back lash, the consequences, the benefit is all quite remarkable. Somehow I have convinced him that I am all of these things and he simply cannot live without me. Not that I want a dependent man hanging off of my every word but rather, when you think about it, isn’t it much better for me to say positive things about myself instead of “I hate my thighs”, “I am soooo tired”, “Oooh look at all my wrinkles”, “Did you say gray hair? well get a load of this………………………………..and the list goes on.

    Isn’t it great when we make the choice to BE, LIVE, FEEL and BECOME!
