Hey Look, my Mom and sister came for a visit to Nanaimo.
We met for lunch at this awesome Lebanese restaurant, Aladdin's cafe.
The food is made with Love.
I was very happy to see my family and to spend some time catching up.
My sister just emailed me these photos. Thanks Laurie! They are awesome.
I am hoping Candy Minx comes to visit at my blog to see these photos.
Next Tuesday evening we will be considering the quote:
"Forgive yourself.
The supreme act of forgiveness is when you can forgive yourself for all the wounds you've created in your own life.
Forgiveness is an act of self-love. When you forgive yourself, self-acceptance begins and self-love grows."
~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Mastery of Love
Next Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 we will look at part of the Circle of Fire prayer:
"We decide to live our lives in free communion with God with no expectations.
We will live our lives with gratitude, love, loyalty and justice
beginning with ourselves and continuing with our brothers and sisters."
~Don Miguel Ruis
peace and love
The Topics for next week's 4 Agreement Wisdom Group are as follows:
On Tuesday evening the moderator pulled a card from The Voice of Knowledge deck by Don Miguel Ruiz;
"I experience love by jumping into the ocean of love. Everything I do is a ritual of love- walking, talking, working, playing. Just to be alive makes me intensely happy because I am no longer thinking. I am feeling."
and on Wednesday afternoon at 3:30( new day and time!):
"You are an angel, and your life is your message. You can be a messenger of lies, fear, and destruction, or a messenger of truth, love, and creation. But you cannot deliver lies and truth at the same time."

Our topics for this week are:

Thursday afternoon:
"Don't make assumptions. Let your life be transformed.
When you stop making assumptions, your word becomes impeccable, and your life is completely transformed. Magic just happens in your life. What you need comes to you easily because spirit moves freely through you."
~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Ageements
peace and love
Living the Four Agreements Wisdom Group Topics are as follows:
Tuesday Evening will be;
"Be aware of the quality of your communication.
The quality of your communication depends on whether you tune your emotional body to love or to fear.
If you know what love is and what fear is, you become aware of the way you communicate your dream to others, and you can choose to communicate with love."
~from The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz
Thursday afternoon will be;
"Surrender to the real you.
Surrender all those ideas about being what you are not, and become what you really are.
When you surrender to your nature, to what you really are, you no longer suffer. When you surrender to the real you, you surrender to Life, you surrender to God."
~from The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruis
peace and love
The topic for the Tuesday evening group, is:
"Be Impeccable with your word.
Enjoy heaven on earth. Impeccability of the word can lead you to personal freedom, success and abundance. You can attain the kingdom of heaven from this one agreement.
Be impeccable with your word."
For Thursday, we are looking for a volunteer to step forward and pick the topic.
peace and love
The topics for this week's Wisdom Groups are:
For Tuesday evening:
"I am dreaming my life in this moment.
I live in a world of illusion made be images of light. The story I create is a virtual reality that Is only true for me, the one who creates it."
~ Quote from Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz
"Love is the medicine that accelerates healing.
Love yourself, love you neighbour, love your enemies, but begin with self-love. You cannot love others until you love yourself. You cannot share what you do not have. If you do not love yourself, you cannot love anyone else either."
~ Quote from Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz
peace and love
Next week, on Tuesday evening we will consider the quote:
"Don't make assumptions. Eliminate gossip. Making assumptions is a setup for suffering because usually we gossip about our assumptions. We make assumptions and believe we are right, then we defend our assumptions and try to make others wrong."
~Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements
On Thursday afternoon, the moderator chose the topic:
"Reducing personal importance is one of the most important steps on our path to freedom."
~from the Living the Four Agreement Wisdom Group ethics.
peace and love
For this Tuesday evenings discussion, we are looking at:
"Create the perfect relationship between you and your body.
Treat your body with all your love, honor, gratitude, and respect.
When you make it your goal to adore your own body and accept yourself completely, you are learning to have a perfect relationship with anyone else you are with."
~ Don Miguel Ruiz, from The Mastery of Love
On Thursday afternoon, the Wisdom Group will be contemplating;
"One way to change your beliefs is to focus your attention on all those agreements and beliefs, and change the agreements with yourself. In doing this, you are using your attention for the second time, thus creating the dream of the second attention or the new dream."
~ Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreement Companion Book

I thought that this bears repeating.
Here is the link for a Intro to what its about: Fire The Grid
Enjoy!
This is a wonderful idea.
And worthwhile checking out.
A Nova Scotian woman had an incredible experience and is sharing her truth with all that will listen.
I watched her Youtube presentation (all 8 parts) and I feel richer for having taken the time.
Her name is Shelley Yates and she is a true hero.
The website is Fire The Grid
or just go to You Tube and type in her name or Fire The Grid.
This is not just Canadian....it is a worldwide event for July 17, 2007.
Its possible to do this kind of stuff because of this medium.......The Internet!!
I LOVE IT.
The Four Agreement Wisdom group on Tuesday night, the moderator picked a card from the Voice of Knowledge deck:
"Respect is one of the greatest expression of love. If other people try to write your story, it means they don't respect you. They consider that you're not a good artist who can write your own story, even though you were born to write your own story."
~Don Miguel Ruiz
On Thursday afternoon, the moderator chose the topic:
"Love is unconditional. In love, there are no conditions; you love for no reason, with no justification. You are free to be what you are, and you allow others to be what they are."
~Don Miguel Ruiz
peace and love
The Four Agreement Wisdom Group on Tuesday evening will considering the quote;
"Our emotions tell us how we are doing in our life. If we don't like our emotional reaction, we need to clean up the lies that we believe. By following our emotions, we change our beliefs, and our circumstances change."
~from The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz
On Thursday afternoon, the group will be invited to contemplate the following:
"Love and honor your physical body. To create a relationship that takes you all the way to heaven, you have to accept your body completely. You have to love your body and allow it to be free to give, free to receive, without being shy.....because "shy" is nothing but fear."
~ from the Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz
peace and love
On Tuesday Evening we will be considering the quote from The Four Agreements:
"Don't take anything personally.
Refuse to eat emotional poison. Taking things personally makes you prey for predators. They can hook your attention with one little opinion, and feed you whatever poison they want.
Refuse to eat poison."
~Don Miguel Ruiz
The Four Agreement Wisdom Group will meet again on Thursday afternoon with focus on part of the Circle of Fire prayer:
"We will live our lives with gratitude, love. loyalty. and justice
beginning with ourselves."
~Don Miguel Ruiz
peace and love
Tuesday evening we will be considering the quote;
"You are an artist of the spirit. Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art."
~ Don Miguel Ruiz from Mastery of Love
Thursday afternoon, the card was picked from the "Voice of Knowledge" deck:
"We are born with silent knowledge. When we are born, our body knows what it is, and it knows what to do. We can feel silent knowledge every time we breathe."
~Don Miguel Ruiz

Here are some of the Mudgirls mulling over the details of the workshop.
I got more information in this meeting that made me realise that this was not going to work for me.
So I took care of myself and cancelled my offer to host the workshop on my property.
22 participants were coming but they pared my project down to a 10' diameter, not enough room for my drumming group or my meditiation group. :>(
22 people plus young children would be using my bathroom and the clincher was that they are taking no responsibilty for anything that may happen. 100% responsibilty and liablity was to be mine.
It worked out ok, they found another host property fairly close to here and I wish them well.
This Tuesday evening, the Wisdom Group will be discussing the 4th Agreement;
"Always Do Your Best
Under any circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse and regret."
Then on Thursday afternoon, we will consider the quote:
"Forgive Others. Forgiveness is the only way to heal your emotional wounds. Forgive those who hurt you no matter what they've done because you don't want to hurt yourself every time you remember what they did. When you can touch a wound and it doesn't hurt, then you know you have truly forgiven."

Hey Look, my Mom and sister came for a visit to Nanaimo.
I was very happy to see my family and to spend some time catching up.

"I experience love by jumping into the ocean of love. Everything I do is a ritual of love- walking, talking, working, playing. Just to be alive makes me intensely happy because I am no longer thinking. I am feeling."
My daughter and I were fortunate enough to be visiting my sons on the Sunshine Coast when a bloom of bioluminescent plankton showed up in the ocean where we were staying.
At night, under the twinkling stars, we swam in the dark waters that lit up around us as we moved. We literally GLOWED!
We did this every night followed by a leisurely hot tub . What a blessed life!
The topics for this week's Wisdom Groups are:
Next week, on Tuesday evening we will consider the quote:
I love you.
Thankyou.
I am so happy and grateful for Life.
Tonight, at 4 in the morning is the Fire the Grid meditation. For me, its about experiencing joy and gratitude.
What better way to get into the mood than a hike to the river. I went to my "new" spot that I have named, "The Grotto".
But once down here, it is paradise. The water was wonderful. Refreshing but not cold. I spent the day snorkeling down river and around the bend.
Then reading and laying in the shallows where the water has carved out the rocks into natural pools and perfect little seats for my bum. Heaven!
For this Tuesday evenings discussion, we are looking at:
I thought that this bears repeating.
