topsy-turvy

since returning from california/washington, just keeping up with events has been hectic. i'm leaving tomorrow for indiana and another Integrative Intentions comprehensive program. the only words i can come up with are "topsy-turvy". just as in my grandson Jordan's diving you have to keep your feet together and enter the water smoothly, and straight without splashing; so it is in life - concentration on task, alignment, and entry/exit without making a wave. i guess i'll have to rededicate myself to getting more done in the future. i'm always distracted by just enjoying each day and lose sight of the next checkpoint.

this is a lead in to the good news that my paddling partner, JC, has reached the second checkpoint in the Water Tribe Challenge in florida. he made it to the everglades with a solid time and is on now to flamingo the last checkpoint before the run to key largo and the finish line. i wish i had a picture of his race but expect that DL, who is tagging along, will have some good ones when they get back. it is truly inspirational to have close friends who step up to challenges and inspire everyone around them to do better each day. i actually am thinking that it might be possible next year...... i'm not only old but getting a bit crazier i think... as a good friend reminded me, "we're still crazy after all these years". life should hold unpredictable opportunities of greatness i believe.

a recent client we worked with in california wrote to say he had come through surgery successfully and with the results he visualized during treatment. his letter was wonderful and reinforces my feeling that what we accomplish does make a difference in facilitating meaningful change. it is also amazing to see the skills of so many talented therapists and the impact they can have in bringing about improved health. we are all putting in pieces of a giant puzzle without borders, and for short moments we are privileged to see a bit of the picture others see, before moving on to other parts of the puzzle.

look for the colorful pieces that match and keep building on your picture - and let others see some of what you have accomplished... (keep paddling stripbuilder!)
