RINGING BELLS AND ALLOWING

Since life is sublime and I listen to the whispers (did you watch the last Oprah??) of my authentic self, I am off to take a five day class with Ruth McDowell in Kalispell, Montana.

Taking care of my needs so there will be a positive ripple effect (thanks Em) of good energy for my family is a new way of thinking for me.

Em posted a picture from her new favorite book http://mcelebrates.blogspot.com/ and mentioned bells.

bells...

My focus is that I'm moving toward something good

always from a place of love

no longer from a place of fear

Bells on a bag I made for my son to carry in Japan

with lots of bells he collected at shrines and stores.

We were told the noise of the bell wards off evil spirits.

no need for stories of impending doom

joining together with friends (the dinner bell my husband's beloved grandma used to call dinnertime)

Here's me - peaceFULLy ringing my bells.

I am here on this planet practicing

ALLOWING

allowing whatever happens to happen

because I am learning that no matter how hard I spin,

I cannot control life

I now have trust and faith that the universe wants to fill my days with good

new places

fabulous quilt classes

good friends

a family able to care for themselves for a week

a loveable me - RINGING MY BELLS in joyous celebration of ALLOWING
