Paying attention

Mar 19, 2007 22:53

When I woke up this morning, my thoughts were all askew as usual. I asked myself: Where are you? (In bed.) In what position? (Lying down.) What do you feel against your skin? (Sheets, covers, Greg’s arm and leg.) How does your body feel? (OK - no pain anywhere. Fatigue deep inside, but not unpleasant; warm, slightly vibrating, generally comfortable ( Read more... )

Hi Paula- Susan here- that's Nana Su to you, and oh my how uplifting to read your coherent articulate appreciative view and resonate with your observations. As Quakers might say-Thee speaks my mind. How grtifying to find you involved in AVP!! I must go - but hope to see you at some point- and I did , I DID try to set up a LJ account and I could not get it to work. so Anonymouse me. So delightful to have news of your doings.

Susan! How great to hear from you! Congrats on the Nana part of your (new) name. Isn't she beautiful? Greg and I will be in ABQ first week of April, and I think Ben and Becca and Beauty will be there, too. Maybe we'll see each other. I'd really enjoy that. Your reply made me smile. I forgot about the Quaker part of you. Susan here, Quakers there...just hadn't connected those dots in my life. Have you done AVP work? I'd really love to talk with you about it if so. Love to Eric and Ariel and of course to you.

I have not actually taken AVP training, but am familiar with the precepts, and have attended events/training sessions where elements of AVP were presented 7/or used in team building exercises. Yes, indeed, B,B& IEWS will be in NM, I need to hear from them to get clear when they plan to head over to SR where we are planning to intersect with them, so that my Dad can meet his Greatgranddaughter - his first great BTW. Ariel has Spring Break the week following Easter, so this worked out well, and I am taking the week off work also - which means A LOT to do to get caught up to be able to take time off! What dates will you actually be in Albq?? Might get to arrange to actually see ya! SW

We'll probably be arriving in the morning on Saturday, March 31 and leaving on Easter morning. We have Ben's contact info and he has ours, so hopefully we'll be able to stay in communication that way.

Maybe you could send me an email message at paula.bramante@mindspring.com so I can have your email address and exchange other contact information with you.

Eric claims we will soon have internet at home, but I want to be sure he has installed vigourous anti-viral protection beofore I venture there. So - Yes- I will be in touch! Oh - duh. Well, I'll get your address in my contact list and send this there too. SW
