I don't' know about all of you, b'and I do know that for many of us, 2009 has been an experience of enormous growth...

And Yes, I am here to say that the Let It Be FunB-) girl has had massive challenges in finding the fun part of much of this segment of my journey.

I am able to see the element for which I can hold gratitude.

*BREATH*

I share the feeling of those who believe 2010 is a time of new beginning. I am excited by what lies ahead. These are times that dig out the ingenuity in all of us. We discover talents not yet developed, and skills seldom used.

One of my HUGEST gifts of insight has been :

"I do not have to do it all. I can work in a team" -


..for this Lone Ranger, that's a revelation.

I would enjoy hearing your thoughts and insights and revelations about our progress through these very unprecedented times.

Are you finding the gifts in the challenges? I would love to hearwhats happening to you.

This can be a powerful discussion.

LET IT BE FUN !

Hi Linda,

I found your blog and I am looking forward to knowing you (for you see I am really a skinny woman inside a lot of protection)

But let me comment a moment on your blog...

I also believe we are in the apex of transforming times...

unprecedented support is available to us - in ways most of us don't know how to engage yet or that it is even there... but we are being shown... and I am humbled by my experiences of this big shift in reality (whatever that is from moment to moment)

I think we are being shown gentler ways of walking through life... I mean in the midst of trauma and drama... I've seen it with my family and with myself... but I have seen it more with those members of my family that are willing to be open hearted and open minded... and that are not caught up on control ever so tightly... (I remember this well) so I say this without judgment but rather accepting anticipation...

I feel that I'm shedding illusions I've held on to steadfastly and that there is a greater dimension to me I'm learning...

And that if I wake up with more innocence and authentic gratitude (no matter how silly whatever is tweaking my gratitude) my day is guided a little more sweetly...

And I am noticing more perceptively that I am not alone - my intuition is more present in the 'now' as Tolle would say, than an afterthought or regret... but it does require action on my part... and a dose of forgiveness if I don't notice or 'answer' the call - if you will...

And that the breaking up of old belief patterns is like cold water on a hot thirsty summer day...

My life is not what my sister would say is advantageous at the moment... I'm a RN that is newly unemployed and I'm not able to find work close to my rural IA home... and unemployment has not gone through yet (since January) for the work I was doing was in WI working as an independent self-employed RN certified on vent care in the home - a program IA doesn't have... I'm just tired of traveling 5 hours to work 12 hours [er shift and the gentleman I cared for is in the hospital and may not come out...

yes I could move but I've worked long chaotic hours for 30 years in many different specialties and many environments and it is time for changes I am willing to trust are unfolding for me... in multi-dimensional ways and levels, that demand more trust in who I am awakening into... not always easy but it is so much easier than it has been.

And I will admit - I toast to the passing of 2009 and 2008 and 2002, ..3,. and especially 2004...

if you believe in karma and I do, sisters I burned some major karma... so that said I am looking forward to more of mySelf and less of myself...

Hello my dear Linda

My job is one I can do in my sleep. I used to pride myself on that ,like it was a good thing....that I was doing what I was meant to do, and I just needed to accept it...

While I do enjoy my "work" as you know I have also returned to my true passion which scares me silly and is loaded with challenges, rejection blah,blah,blah~ I could tell you horror stories about all that was said by my dear parents over the holidays...

however, if I want to have peace and freedom and connect to God..I kind of have no choice...well I do, but the consequences of not following my heart are ones that I have found unbearable

If the dream does not require growth, the assistance of a power greater than myself,etc....then frankly the dream ain't big enough.

as far as how its going for me....well....the past few weeks have been loaded with challenges....and marvelous emotions?:|:O yet I am so grateful.

As far as working as a team....well I am also a lone wolf...however,recently I have opened myself up and been allowing a friend to edit some of the video eBooks I have been compiling...just last night I had a real hissy fit because I felt like he hacked my writing to pieces and my head was swirling so fast I could barely make sentences out of it. He freaked out because all I would have had to do was talk to him... thats some teamwork for ya....I went through the same kind of a process when I started to record....for me....my ego really gets in the way..I am learning not to take everything so seriously.....and to trust myself ....I picked superior people that have proven to have my best interest at heart....and trust that I can communicate my feelings....I am seriously learning a ton of stuff by opening up to teamwork

Thank you for your post....and adding your picture....good to see your beautiful smile....best wishes for you in 2010...happy new year!

Love:-xoxoxo

Hi Linda
I do believe that 2010 is going to be a HUGE year for many of us. While 2009 wasn't quite as challenging for me as the end of 2007 and most of 2008! I am definitely looking forward to a prosperous and FUN 2010. There are so many things to be grateful for, and to pursue....all that is required is "action". For even my mistakes will be blessed this year.

Cheers to you and Let It Be Fun!!:-x

Hi Linda,

I can tell you about a challenge I had in 2009. In fact, it was the reason I dropped off the earth as far as my blogging on BHW goes.

On my journey home from California on September 14th after staying overnight in a hotel, I woke up and realized as I got out of bed that I'd lost hearing in my right ear literally overnight. I had also lost my sense of balance and became extremely dizzy, with a great deal of nausea.

Determined to get home, I went to the airport and eventually boarded the plane, All through my day-long flight home (I had long connecting times in the airports.) I was in this bad condition. I became even more ill when I got home.

It took two months for me to be able to walk in a straight line again. Since then I'm fully recovered except for my hearing, which I'm hoping will return.

Besides being a challenge in and of itself, I'd signed up with a publicist for my book and wasn't up to the job of promotion of for a while,

I was reminded that each day is precious, to savor it.

And oh, yes, I decided to have fun!
