Say Something Nice video in NYC...

I was being a good lil’ Aimee & I was crossing things off of my to-do list. The day was zipping by when something caught my eye as I was running in the park for exercise (“go for a run” was number 4 on the to-do list). What I saw was a grown man with his shirt & shoes off wading (well, more like playing) in a puddle.

This blog post is a follow-up to a previous post I wrote called What is the biggest obstacle you are facing right now?

I want to start off with a quote that sums up this entire blog post:

I'm getting to a place where I see effort as futile. I believe that the universe, the planet, the body; is intelligent beyond my understanding. - So why do I push to understand, or force to make things happen when I am a part of this perfect whole? I am this universe, this planet, this body.

Sometimes it's all too much. Don't you feel that way? I feel like everyone I know is overloaded with stuff. Stuff can be anything, but it's mostly desires. Desires past & desires present. I know people with great homes, great jobs, great partners, that were all a part of past desires. But now the enthusiasm for these past desires have been replaced by new desires.

Lately I've been seeing the importance of meditation. I've also noticed that when I am consistent with a meditation practice I am transformed & strong. But when I fall out of practice I am very vulnerable to the energy around me. Especially other people's emotions, the media & my own ego.

By chance this week I stumbled upon a video that I adore. It's a conversation over coffee with two of my favorite minds; Terence Kemp Mckenna & Ram Dass.

Over the last 3 years I have completely (well, not completely, but a pretty major overhaul) changed my life. I have been digging deep & uprooting old ways of being. I have been gradually changing the way I work & changing the overall feel of my life & what it looks like day to day.
