I have the chance to choose differently!

Yesterday I supported my daughter learning about question marks, what makes a question? Some words that gave a clue a question is being asked…what, who, when, why, how.
The reason that I am good at my job is because I am good at asking pertinent questions. Zora Nele Hurston’s words resonates with me “research is formalised curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose”.
The story of Edith Eger starts with a question ‘why now?’
At the recent Mid Thames Valley Buddhist Summer Course 2021 I was asked persistently to ask a question to the Q/A session, and I dismissed it at first. Indeed I was happy to stay in the comfort zone of my 'tribe', my friends close to my heart who play a role in my life. They support me, it just flows like a mighty river…We transform a lot together, but until I go the not cosy’ rufy i.e. Basing place then the question has validity to be asked.
It crystallised what my experience is at the moment, something does not seem to work out, to flow, but it is ok as it is part of a bigger plan…synchronicity is about to come my way...love…feeling right at home…, being truly me.
Edith starts with an interaction that will change her life forever and that turning point question “Why now?” “What you are here now” The universe initiates with her, scary, tick tock, heartbeat moment, wake up...she must unravel the power force behind this moment. She has a way to write about her story from the inside and encouraging our own internal dialogue to seize ‘consciously’ her choice – chose life – this course of action requires deep work and honesty. I love her honesty, sharing life drama on becoming human. Her story will be useful to you, me, sharing this gift, bringing us back together, building better together by taking responsibility for my energy, my pattern, my choices.
Deep gratitude Edith Eger and the protagonists in your life that shaped you, owning your journey to home, profound connection with self and others,
Imagine the sound of the Ninth Symphony Beethoven, it resonates the resounding power of WAKE UP
