To learn from each other and to see ourselves in others situations is so valuable, there is much gold there. As I said to Lisa, this level of intimacy is rare and yet so necessary to have us do things differently in life. I’m grateful that you are here with us, Z~ Much love to you too, Ann-Marie Hi Z~

Well for me the auto pilot light has been on far too often for my liking, whether it be in relation to the people in my life, my routines or the things I'm doing. And it does take courage to scrutinize this, to become fully conscious of what it is we are thinking about and the resulting actions. To remain in this conversation until we get to the crux of what is really going on, to see situatuions for what they really are IS the access point to acceptance; to honest acceptance of ''what is so' in our realtionships and actions. At the end of the day acceptance brings us peace - acceptance of family how they are and how they are not. However getting to this point requires great effort on our part. It is indeed wonderful how we can all work together to work things out and Hilary I wish you every peace with your family for 2010. x x x Hi Hilary

Certainly it is easier to accept things and just adapt to them .. but people who don't change (especially family) are so difficult to come to terms with. We almost have to lead two lives. I guess I'm in a more difficult or challenging position, because I don't have kids and so my family is very small - and that's the way they are. It's an interesting world - I know I'm not perfect, but some movement from them would help sometimes .. c'est la vie - and I get on with my life most of the time .. but as family we have to be together some of the time.

The contributions from you fabulous women add such value and do bring the conversation to another level, to a place where we can see ourselves in each other, where we can resonate, grow and evolve, a place where love shows up and we become one. This shared intimacy is rare and I for one feel completely blessed to have it in my daily life. Thank You Lisa for being a big part of this. xxx Hi Lisa.
