Busy day

Demand for me is coming from all directions. I met with 2 other accomplished strong willed women for brunch. They are masters in their domain and as we agree and disagree I can see that gods in us are very much alive and expressive.

Then I had a call with the McGill people about the workshop this Saturday. It came together rather interestingly.

Then a friend called to see if I was willing to show her some yoga movements. Then another friend called to see if I can be with her to go to the small claims court for her dispute with her dentist.

Then I had a fundraiser planning call.

Ballet class was great - after all this, but I must be careful with my weak knee.

This dark Halloween night is turning out to be not as sleepy as other nights.

Choosing

I had one of the most powerful excercises done in my seminar and it is all about choosing. I had that happen when I did the Forum - and chose my Dad exactly as he is and exactly as he was not and our relationship completely shifted then. It was truly miraculous when that happened. In my seminar, we were to write down all that we haven't chosen in our lives and choose all each day. I don't know if that is why but this time, we are putting together the Fundraiser at the last minute and so far - no struggle and effort. No making wrong. My unreasonable request to be in daily communication with the 2 other people got accepted without a peep.

So I'm excited without being nervouse and crazy. It may be also that I let that go.

I'm in demand, from within and from outside - will be doing a workshop at McGill, Learning for sustainable future. Then I'm in the Montreal Millenium Conference. Then off the Power and Contribution in SF then off to Halifax from there. Then I'm attending a conference for tax consultant for NGO for transferring money outside of Canada.

New possibility

I had an interview this morning. It was interesting and the people I met seemed earnest and serious. I can see that there's definite mood shift in me. I don't have so much angst and nervousness.

I love the seminar I'm in - Living passionately and bringing the love of the game to everything we do. It just gives me calmness and possibility without any change in circumstances.

It would be great to work and be passionate about my work again.

Dreams

I had a dream that I took a thorn (unusual shape and size) out of my body. It was thick and had a color and texture of a red brick but shaped like a branch with some motif on it. It was painful to take it out but felt really good once it was out.

I also had a dream that I moved into a new house. Brand-new freshly painted and was very bright.

This is something - not really a dream but I saw and felt it while meditating in my yoga class. I have been given this huge peach, it was so big that I could not put my arms around it.

I also had a dream that I started to work for OZ.

Now - in a live state, my new unlikely friend turns out to have so much in common with me. Grandma whose husband is in Sudan being an agricultural consultant. She is actually the first person to let me know that Prof. Yunus was awared the Nobel Peace Prize. I'll have to laminate the picture I took with him.

Talking with 5 women

I had a dinner/meeting with 5 women. 3 I know well and 2 I know very little. It turned out to be most interesting and it is incredible how people with like mind find each other. I'm a believer in the law of attraction.

I heard the good news that Prof. Mohammad Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize. When my grandma heard the news she thought it wasn't fair that he got something and I did not get anything - another falling down from my chair laughing moment.

I went to lunch and yoga class with my old and dearest friend. We never seem to have enough time to say everything - thank god for Skype so that we can catch up whenever.

I'm including some pictures from the Sushi Restaurent aquarium - Nemo and Dory.

Harvest Moon

I must have gotton off it. I got the cheque in the mail - one I thought I'd have to wait till november. So Mom and I went out to celebrate. Back in Korea, the whole family got together to celebrate the Choo Suk - Korean equivalent of Thanksgiving - they happened to coincide this year. I have so much to be thankful for. From the movie Secret, I started listing the names of the people I feel grateful for having in my life and so far I'm at 94.
I took 2 pictures of the Harvest moon - it looked sublime.

Venise-en-Quebec

Mom wanted to get away to see the fall trees - and she's not keen on walking a lot. On Thursday a friend of mine informed me that she's renting a cottage by a lake and she was willing to bring us back an forth. I always wanted to have a cottage by water and wanted to know what it would be like to live in one so I got mom to agree and invited a couple of friends - the one who came ended up being charge of all 7 meals. The lake was fabulous. I got to see the sunny day and a rainy, windy day and water looked very different. We ended up playing 2 rounds of Scrabbles (Mom did quite well), 2 rounds of French version of Life (Getting married, having kids, buying house, losing money and facing other life obstacles etc.). And watched 3 movies. Food was also a major source of preoccupation.
