This has, after all, been quite a magical time, since around June, when things started turning around for me. (Or rather, when I NOTICED it!)
It's Dec. 1, 2012 and for the past several years, people have been talking and writing about Dec. 21, 2012. Most of the folks I've been around have looked forward to this time as one of celebration for a shift in consciousness. There ARE those who have believed that we're doomed -- and they're a little louder now as the countdown is so close.
I want to spend the next 21 days noticing, acknowledging and appreciating all the magical, wonderful and miracle-oriented people, places, events and things that are all around me. Originally, this first entry would be a summary of what's happened in the last few weeks, but it's late and I'm tired, so I'm going to tell you about just today.
The consultation group -- the first face-to-face follow-up to the Heal Trauma Fast training (THAT's a MWM story all by itself!) -- started at 11 this morning in my private practice office in Norfolk. I'm still amazed at how the topics we discussed were so intertwined. From how to work with a "resistant" client who is half-committed to treatment to "resistance" as a normal part of learning and applying something new to honoring "resistance" by not pushing... all woven together so elegantly. Cool stuff.
When I left my office to grab some lunch and also let Natalie use it for her one client (mine was scheduled for 3pm), I walked out with Lee's hubby, John, who had already asked me how I'd managed to get all the fire trucks gathered half a block away. I really didn't know what he was talking about, but played along with him, joking about how much power I have.
What I didn't know until I walked outside was HOW MANY fire trucks were on the street close to the building! As John wondered aloud what was going on, I smelled natural gas and told him that. We looked across the street to see 3 firefighters wearing oxygen tanks and masks, but I still didn't really know what was going on. And I didn't worry or get anxious.
As I walked down the street to the restaurant, I overheard someone say that there WAS a gas leak (THANK YOU, nose!). By the time I ordered my food and was waiting for it, Natalie called me to say that the fire department was evacuating the building, asking everyone to leave for 1/2 hour or so. I figured it would be more time than that, so I decided to reschedule my appointment. No phone number handy, so I wrote a quick email on my iPhone. Ten minutes later, my client calls me, saying she'd just read my email as she was heading out (Miracle!) and we were able to schedule a time to meet on Tuesday.
I never went back into the office. Natalie had locked it at least. I was able to contact Lee, who has access to office keys and agreed to turn off the lights. My laptop and some books are back in the office, so I'll go back sometime tomorrow.

What a great evening, too! I saw Aida at the Little Theater of Va. Beach tonight with Marilyn, Mary, Laurie and a friend of Laurie's. I sat in the back row with Mary and Marilyn and I laughed at Mary's out-loud, fully-engaged comments during the show. I haven't been one to go to plays or performances, but Mary's place is about a mile away from mine and the theater is about 2 blocks from her place. We had a potluck dinner before the show, talking and getting to know each other. I'm so grateful that Mary organized this. I want to remember to connect with her and Marilyn more regularly.
