Day 1

Our first weekly group meeting, via Zoom (thank you Covid19) was on a Friday night, and I joined almost 50 others to start this journey. I had completed the 40 days in January-Feb. this year, but the re-boot felt like a good idea.

Each week has a theme and some truths:

WEEK 1: PRESENCE

Seek the Truth: For me, seek the truth is less action than willingness to listen. The truth is always there.

Be Willing to Come Apart: This is what my heart longs for. I know I can shred my ego-centric way of being in the world. My heart can lead and love flow.

What is authenticity?: that is the still small voice withing, which, when followed, leads me to my best life.

Where in your life are you NOT present? What are the costs?: I’m not always present to loving myself, which closes me off to others. I’m not always present to my husband and when that happens I’m not the kind of person I want to be. (bitch mode)

Where in your life are you aware of not being honest? When do you need to tell the truth on yourself?: I think I am more necessary to others and less to myself when in reality the opposite is true.

My name is Ann, and I am letting go of my need to get an A.

    I did my mala meditation for a start today, and feeling a little wander-ish with my time this morning. Part of me wants to ‘get to work’ and do online yoga class and meditation. Part of me wants to lay on the daybed and read and play solitaire. And part of me wants to do…

    Last night we picked up my boy at the airport and I’m really enjoying having him home. Next week he and I drive up to deliver him to his new apartment for the next three years. This morning I got to meditate before work, moving my spot to the living room as my old place…

    I signed up for Tymi’s class last night so that I wouldn’t talk myself out of it. My day started with my mala meditation, and the brain was a bit more present. I had skipped the group meeting and yoga dance party last night, and woke feeling recharged and re-engaged with the work. I’ll review…
