I can't believe it.  Unless my shadows are blocking infomation I try to keep hiding from myself, I believe I'm the first one to post a message.  I must say I really felt cleased the end of the Shadow Process weekend.  I can't say I'm a completely changed human being but have continued to be very reflective, especially when journaling and/or answering questions in my notebook.

The first week was unusual.  More so because Eckhart Tolle and Oprah Winfrey started their webinar and it is fun answering different sides of our life's journey of being aware, embracing the negative and breathing in each moment.  I love to hear how it's been going with everybody else.

Hi guys,
Thanks for starting this conversation.  You've reminded me to lok through my workbook from the Shadow Process. I did this a few times the first couple of weeks back home & it supported me with my processing.

I re-connected to the experiences of the weekend. I'm reminded that I always have a choice about how I show up in any situation.

I'll write more later...

Hello James, Marianne, & Rita!
Marilyn from Montreal here - I think I only know Rita - Hi Rita!!

I'm not sure what to post; I felt great after the workshop, even though I could have beat myself or the Universe up for stuff - I didn't!  I returned home feeling fabulous and having a new energy toward my husband and kids - which I still hold - mostly - but feel it slipping away a little.  I had a few down days, but must say that at the moment a bunch of people and things are falling into place to finally achieve the dream I've been working on for YEARS NOW!! and that it was all meant to take this long!!  and I am choosing not to self-sabotage by not doing what i know i must do - not even to question it with other equally great ideas but that will move me away from actually doing any - so what if this one is not the best way and it is the most expensive way - it's the way I thought of for jumping right in and making a big splash - so just do it! (terrified!! hence all the babbling.. thankyou for still being here!)

so, I am telling you what I will be doing and will have to come back and tell you that it's done or that it's not!  I am going to take out a full or half page ad in a local monthly parenting magazine to invite people who's kids are facing challenges in school; emotional, physical, labelling, whatever.. inviting them to a lecture (which will be about my story with my son, what i discovered, etc).  It is scary because I will be stepping out publicly saying things that go against all conventional wisdom and societal structures.. but that is what i am here for and it's high time i act!

what about you guys? any 1 little thing that I can support you in? even if it's jus tsharing a small step that you will take and talking about it so that it's less frightening or more empowering?

ok, enough.. ta for now, Namasté, Marilyn
