A friend of mine just handed me a nice reading and I thought I would share it ….

…..people in the developed world have been trained in power and performance principles, but not at all in a spirituality of imperfection, detachment, letting go, and least of all surrender.  It sounds like losing and we do not like that.  It’s actually accessing a deeper, broader sense of self which is already content and totally abundant.  Once you move…to that level…why would you ever settle for a scarcity model of life–”I’m not enough, this is not enough, I do not have enough” ? Honors, awards, and the luxuries of life are nice but they do not make up our true selves.  In grace and acceptance, you are overwhelmed with “more than enough-ness.” 

–what looked initially like losing becomes the ultimate finding

Happy Thanksgiving!

conversing & community…don’t get hung up on the “technology” so says Bill Seaver who, along with Kate O’Neill, gave great presentations today at Microsoft sponsored by the Nashville Technology Council.  My friend, Dirk, told me about the event so after a quick bite to eat we enjoyed lots of info on blogs, Twitter (or “tweeting”), Facebook of course, podcasts, etc.  Dirk works in this field already but knows I have a computer geek somewhere inside me waiting to emerge.  A great suggestion from Kate was to maintain a schedule for your blogs…just like you’d schedule anything else as well as keeping up with analytics (free on Google Analytics). 

Check out the Nashville Technology Council’s site for upcoming events and release your inner geek!  It’s so fun to always keep learning new things!
