The Shift ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

There it was on the calendar of the church I went to today: "The Shift"!  YAY!!!! 

I have been so excited about seeing this movie by Wayne Dyer and here it is!  I could have just spit!  I was able to stay to watch it this afternoon.  It was different than I expected it to be as I thought it was addressing the shift happening in the world ~ humanity's shift.  But it was about the shift that happens in the later seasons of one's life.  I guess it fit metaphorically.  It was beautifully done!  I loved every moment as he walked through human stages of growth toward wisdom.  I highly recommend this for everyone!

The movie touched my soul.  I felt like he was speaking to me personally.  It softened my outlook on myself and I realized that I need to give myself space.  Lots of it, actually.  Space to breath.  Space to listen.  Space to make mistakes and be wrong.  Space to celebrate, too. 

I am so very hard on myself, especially lately.  Here we are in Eugene near family, three weeks into our journey.  The weather is fair during the day, but the nights get pretty cold, like 30 degrees and damp.  We don't want to intrude on Jacob's household of young men, but we don't have any heat in Santiago as our propane tanks are empty and I need to make money to fill them.  Yuck.  I feel stuck here and frankly, a bit desperate.  But that is part of the journey and I want to experience all of it fully. 

"Dragon" has a vegetable farm in Willamette Valley now, but used to have a soul food restaurant on the Oregon Coast AND he knows Five Points in Denver (my hometown!).  He is a happy person, for sure.  We chatted for a bit at the Saturday Farmer's Market today (yes, they are open on Sundays, too).  He said with a huge grin, "So Eugene has been good to you!  Welcome."  He's right!  I found a job likity-split and have meet FABULOUS people here!  It's all in how you see it.  I am blessed!  I just need to look at it from the correct lens. 

Tee hee hee.  Sis and I convinced the boys to let us both sleep in the house tonight (we sneaked the kitties in, too).

Today I choose joy! (Thanks, Rev. Linda)
