Dear Lisa, I fully appreciate how busy life can be when full on with children and all the rest you mentioned. It takes time to untangle and restructure life so you are no longer swept up by its current. I do agree baby steps are a great start, you are spot on, it would be unwise to think otherwise. It is great to look at just one area in your life to begin with and that is what we at WomenLikeMe do. We support a careful transition, we support women to find out what baby steps to start with and from there as you say, it will ripple eventually through all areas. It is like your blog post about the fractured fairy tale, fracturing life as we know it takes time but giving it a thought is already a wonderful thing. My transformation has not happened overnight either. It is huge and it took me such a long time to get it, see myself in a different light and then knowing what to change the fairy tale into. Like you at some point I had no idea either what if was that I wanted in my life, I too was so busy I totally had no sense of that at all. It is finally after years that I am holding a vision and now I am describing my process. I trust it will all help to reach a tipping point. I appreciate your kind words and I appreciate your listening and your time will come too. xox Wilma

Wilma, from my treadmill of chaos and custard with kids and career and husband and house, your life seems so far away from the possibilities of mine. I know that it is in your thoughts and your intentions that manifests your life and if I was to actually take the time to stop…To observe. To pay attention. To listen. To trust the Universe. To ask myself what I want, things might be different. I would also have to have a huge amount of courage, like you do… I can at least take baby steps in this process, and see how things shift. Anyway, I admire you greatly, you are an amazing inspiration to us all for a better way of life. Your posts are such a gift!

Oh Kristie, it is indeed awesome to be living this way and co-create with nature. It is funny that you say this;

I’m so glad you’ve put yourself in a position to where you can go after what you really want and not take “no” for an answer.

I too am extremely glad but it took some doing to get myself in this position. There was a time when I would have said; “No wait, I work another 5 years so we can pay off the mortgage. No wait another 5 years with moving so we have enough money to retire. No wait another 5 years and oops I am dead.”
We are actually all in a position to live the life we want, but often we wait for the right conditions instead of taking the jump and DO IT, LIVE instead of waiting.
I certainly will keep livin’ it up and I hope I can take you with me. Hugs Wilma

Wilma, that is awesome! I am so glad you are on the lookout for your dream land for your beautiful garden. It sounds like a dream indeed. I’m so glad you’ve put yourself in a position to where you can go after what you really want and not take “no” for an answer.

Have fun with all your exploring and experiences~that area sounds like it would be a great place to live. I also can’t wait to see the pictures when you do find your place as the land there just amazes me.

Keep livin’ it up,
Kristie

Kia ora dear Robb, I love your trust in us, both in you and in John and me.
You know, we must have planted a seed in our heart you and me, sometime ago and that seed brought us to New Zealand. It is quite lovely to live in expectation with that knowing that it will sing. I will keep listening, kia kaha.
Aroha, Wilma
