Have you ever tried to move forward while looking back? It’s not easy and I don’t recommend it often but the end of the year is a good time to take a few minutes, stop where you are and look back over the past year! I will admit it is much easier this time of year to be consumed with setting new goals, your mind transfixed by the lure of the horizon ahead.  When it comes to a new year and new goals, we don’t always like looking back, but it is important once a year to look at your goals and accomplishments for the year prior. It is fun to see how close you came, or if you reached or maybe even surpassed your goals and for a day or two bask in the glow before you begin again.

We all need to look not just at goals but other pieces; accomplishments and journeys taken that were not on your goal list but make up the wonderful moments of your life. Because I journal each day, it is easy to look back and grasp the small but profound moments that seem to get lost so easily in the blur of each year. The bad always tend to stick out if I don’t record the good too.

Looking back, I can say that this year for me was a very trying one. But, I also realize that we learn more from bumpy years than smooth, so overall I must be a bit wiser than I was before. No one dropped me at the top of the mountain this year, every step seemed grueling and painful, but I know that 2012 will be an amazing year for us all. Transformational is the word, the year when we all quit looking around, listening to others and determine for ourselves what is right for us. This is what my next book is about “7 Steps to Creating an Extraordinary Life”, giving direction for each of us to set about on our journey to define, create and then live our lives true to ourselves.

Following along the lines of that theme of transforming to our true self, next year, will be devoted to learning to “dancing to our own music”. The focus will be upon helping everyone find the music that is playing in their heart and follow that music to creating our extraordinary life that is reflective of the real you.

When you can tap into the music your own heart plays, you don’t care if people think you are strange or judge you. It becomes apparent that they can’t hear their song their heart is playing, so they become distracted by you joyfully humming along to your own tune. But learning to hear the music and then remaining in it is not easy, it requires effort and in some cases, a personal transformation and if that is the case, this is the perfect year for you.

We will join the entire world, as the Mayan people predicted for 2012, in a transformation. We must work to change our combined consciousness, sadness over loss of homes, jobs and loved ones, even the loss of our faith in others, the people we believed would do the right thing, but have allowed greed and power to overtake their song.  All of this has left a pall over us. Earthquakes and natural disasters topped the list, as well as the tenuous state of lands far away. It makes us all uneasy and questioning what tomorrow will bring. We want to pull our shades and remain safe, pretend that it will all get better.  But, if there is one thing I can say with certainty, it is that we can make it better ~ you and I. Together, we can have a hand in changing the world.

Tonight as the New Year is ushered in with much fanfare, stop for a moment and write yourself a little note answering our first question of the year ~ What gift can I give the world this year?  Will it be a vow to love your neighbor as yourself, donate possessions that clutter your home, maybe it is simply sending a gift card for groceries to someone who has lost their job. You see, when you hear the song playing, you realize that you are blessed and when you feel blessed, you are compelled to help others. Your gift in return for all of this is happiness, a peaceful heart, and an overwhelming sense when you look back at the end of 2012, that you were an active participant in the kindness that will change the world.

Happy New Year and my blessing to each of you!

Merry Christmas ~ yes I said Merry Christmas! What holiday greeting do you use? Is it Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Blessed Kwanza or Happy Holidays? When you hear any or all of these does your mind move to appreciation of the gesture of good will offered or are you insulted if you have been mislabeled?  Do you grasp the sentiment behind the words or do you immediately become personally offended by their misuse? I believe that we have evolved rapidly in many areas with technology at our fingertips and answers to questions only a Google away. I acknowledge that on the surface it appears that we have made great advances in our judgments of others, but I have to question, have we really changed?

During my lifetime I have seen an evolution from name calling and labeling with negative connotations of people different than ourselves, to restraint from using such harmful and divisive language. But I question, have changes really occurred to our belief or is it simply that it is no longer socially acceptable? Have we really moved past distain of people who have different beliefs to acceptance of all people regardless of their religion, nationality, lifestyle or personal choices as long as it harms no one, or have we acquired the skill to hide it well?

I have noticed a trend this year among large retailers to use Merry Christmas once again after the absence for a few years. Is this a corporate decision, pretending to care about standing up for what is right or is it individual workers who refuse to give in to the silliness of their “people at the top?” What if we all refuse to give in and instead of being fearful of saying something offensive, work to solve the problem in the first place by being mindful of our preconceived beliefs about others and working to change the origin of those thoughts?

What if we all work to embrace the thought that we are all equal and attempt to understand the person who lies beneath those labels. Begin to educate ourselves by researching different religions and customs and ethnicities and instead of tiptoeing around the fact that we are all different maybe we can eradicate the divisiveness and begin to relate to each other. I think we would find that there are many more similarities than we imagined. We may even be able to see others as individuals and replace judgment with understanding. We shouldn’t fear learning about others or offering our children the opportunity to investigate others and their beliefs; we all have free will and can accept for ourselves if something is right or wrong for us. Understanding does not require that we agree with all the beliefs, but to judge from afar without learning the truth and dispelling false beliefs and generalizations does not allow us to make an informed opinion.

So this next year I am asking you to join me in beginning a narrative with others about their beliefs, especially those different than yours. Become curious about people and ask questions so we can learn from each other and bring the world one step closer to peace. Let’s all work to not simply refrain from using hurtful words but eradicate them from our world through knowledge and tolerance.

Throughout this year I will be devoting some time to what I believe are some of the most divisive differences among us. I would love to begin a dialog with you and allow everyone the opportunity to read and understand and learn along with me. We can become a bit more open about things that we may not be aware of, things we do not understand.

I do want to take this opportunity to reach out to you, whatever your custom or holiday celebration may be, and say Merry Christmas. Embrace those words anyway you wish but it is simply meant as a loving blessing from my heart to your heart.

Much like in my belief, baby Jesus was given three gifts and that is my wish for you.

The first gift is love. May your heart know what it is to receive unconditional love and give love unconditionally for the rest of your days.

The second gift is life. May a day not go by that you don’t thank your higher power for being gifted with another day to be alive.

And the greatest gift of all; knowing how lucky you are to possess the first two gifts.

Namaste,

Kim

This week marks the beginning of all the holiday craziness. Parties, family events, baking cookies and sitting by the tree with cocoa. All of these events are wonderful, these are the memories we need to keep in our spirit basket. A spirit basket is the vessel we create during our lifetime. It will carry all those things we acquire, the gifts we will take to the next part of our journey. Gifts like love received and given, and all the joyful moments, the snapshots of our lives. We all need to be reminded to keep these moments near because they slip from our minds so easily.

Before the festivities begin, there is a very important day that is more than just a precursor to the biggest shopping day of the year. It is a day that serves to prepare us to be thankful for all that is really important in our lives. Thanksgiving is not only a day to be grateful, but one in which to look to the coming month. Reminding ourselves that there will be many moments that we will need to gather for our basket. Time spent with loved ones, sharing our abundance with those less fortunate, and the love and gentleness that this time of year brings to our hearts.

Though there are many gifts that fill our basket over the course of our lives, I believe that there are three that are most important and we need to intentionally keep in our thoughts, not just during the holiday, but all year.

The first gift is that we are alive. We are given the gift to be here, to experience every moment, the good and bad. Place the good in your basket and discard the bad. The bad simply will not fit in the basket overflowing with good memories.

The second gift is love. Love we give to others and the love we are given. There is nothing more important than to love and be loved unconditionally, it makes our basket stronger.

The third is the most important because without the it, the first two lose their impact upon the quality of our life. This is the gift of knowing the importance of the first two, love and life. It seems so easy to take being alive and being loved for granted with all the distractions provided by a life filled with events and commitments, but we must never forget.

This Thanksgiving as we are eating turkey and stuffing let’s all stop for a moment and take a snapshot of what you see, family and friends gathered together, and place it in your basket. Be an inspiration to others in attendance, reminding them of the value of the moment by expressing gratitude and love in all your words and actions. Allow yourself to be thankful for this day, because tomorrow is promised to no one. Be grateful for this gift you’ve been given, one more opportunity to add beautiful moments into your spirit basket.

Happy Thanksgiving my dear friends!

I hate to admit it but I am right! I have been telling everyone for years that being mindful of what you are doing with your time and simplifying your life so you have time to enjoy everything you love is the answer to happiness and now there is proof.

Researchers at Stanford U and U of Penn studied the effect of money and time on happiness only to discover that happiness is a consequence of CHOICE and to be happier you need to spend your TIME more wisely. Striving for money, which is what we all believed would bring happiness is actually shown to decrease the things that enhance personal happiness. I am a believer that you can be wealthy and happy but it takes awareness of the choices you are making.

My next book “Intentional Happiness” out in December deals with this exact problem. Having a constant awareness of the costs that are associated with the “things” that we want within our lives distracts us from our real mission, to deeply connect with each other and do the things that enrich our lives.

So today be aware of what you are spending time on and instead of working on living your life day to day and unaware, allow yourself to ask the question “is this what I want to do with my time”? The answer may surprise you!

Obuntubotho  pronounced uu-buun-too. The essence of being human.  “You know when it is threatened, when it is there and when it is absent.  It speaks about humanness, gentleness, putting yourself out on behalf of others, being vulnerable.  It embraces compassion and toughness.  It recognizes that my humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.” That is a quote from Bishop Desmond Tutu when he introduced Nelson Mandela at his inauguration to become president of South Africa.

I am what I am because of what we all are. There is a reason why we all need to hold ourselves to a higher standard. Because as much as we think that we can raise our families and remain safe ourselves in our own little world we are all affected by “what we all are”. We cannot live in this world as individuals, we depend upon each other. We are not separate but intertwined.

The whole of each of us is diminished by tolerating unjust. Something as small as bullying at school that remains unaddressed, sexual harassment, physical abuse of any form and a denial of basic human rights all draw away from our humanity as a whole when we turn our heads away and don’t speak out against the wrong.

There is an alarming trend in China, a loss of morality that is becoming more prevalent as the Chinese people move away from a “for the good of all” to a more self serving enhancement of their financial position, but in the process they are also losing  their obuntubotho; humanity. Because they are aware, there is now a “stop apathy” movement that has enlisted 4.5 million Chinese and it is growing every day.

Last Saturday was Make A Difference day http://makeadifferenceday.com/ in the United States and 3 million people participated to help 30 million people. That is a wonderful start but is only the beginning of what we need to return from where we are to who we each truly are, within our spirit.  We each need to call to our obuntuboho each and every day. I know together we can change the world but we can’t do it alone.

I will soon have a website where I will list opportunities to help because as I speak to groups I hear again and again “I am never sure what to do or where to begin”. This will be your opportunity to look at a list and choose whatever calls to your heart. If you have children you can be an example for them and strengthen their obuntubotho!

As always my wish for each of you is a life filled with love, grace and gratitude and in sharing our abundance with all others.

Namaste

Welcome fall! Did you know it’s only called fall in North America the rest of the world uses the much more formal word autumn.

I love fall and as many people are getting ready to snuggle in for the winter I find it is the perfect time to kick thing up a notch in your life. Why wait until the New Year to begin looking at goals start right now!

So grab your goals sheet. Did you forget that you had goals and right now you are searching through a stack of papers to find them? No matter, today is the day to pull them out and kick it into gear, no excuses you still have three months.

It’s also a good time to review those goals and pick one. Too many goals makes it overwhelming to think about, it is easier to focus in on the ones you still want to achieve this year. Reviewing them now will keep you motivated and give you some momentum to reach the end of the year ready to begin a brand new plan for the New Year. 

Maybe they were too easy for you and you have attained them all, don’t hold off pick some new goals. Overall only 12% of people reach their goals. Men are 22% more likely to achieve goals if they engaged in creating a list of goals and women are 10% more likely if they are encouraged to persist. So men write them down and women tell your family and friends you need encouragement!  

Do you need help setting goals? There are a number of good audio programs, my personal favorite is Zig Ziglar’s “Goals; Setting and Achieving Them on Schedule” by Simon and Schuster. Zig is a pretty amusing guy and if you haven’t heard him speak you are in for a real treat.

Did you realize that Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years all within about a two month time period and approaching fast. So get those goals in place and soar with me right through the holidays into the New Year.

Joie de vivre!

We have reached another milestone! Yes my husband and I have now been married 33 years consecutively!

Amazing ~ Right! Well since I was recording a new audio program all week I had no time to create a new blog so ~ I thought my new readers might enjoy my Spanx blog from last year and the readers who were with me last year can once again enjoy a hearty laugh! 

I’ve seemed to notice  lots of talk lately about panty lines. Maybe it’s because I have this new full length mirror and there was this bit on television about the horrors associated with “having it”. I have to admit that I rationalize being seen in public with a slightly noticeable panty line, preferring anyone looking to know that I am wearing something! And even though I do my best to look good each day I have been more aware lately when I slip into my clothes just how visible they are.

So last week, I went shopping, my anniversary is coming up, 32 years and yes for that alone I deserve a new dress. So after trying every dress in the store, I picked one, something I can also wear for meetings and to speak in. But as I was checking out the clerk mentioned that with the new “clingy” fabrics you need to make sure you have the correct undergarment, right “visible lines” again.

Believing this was most certainly a sign from a higher power, I left the store and daringly ventured into Macy’s lingerie department to see what my options were. It is there that I see a display of “girdles”. OK, you can call them anything you want, but they are basically the same, except this time they offered a full body model for under dresses.

Normally I would have wandered in and wandered out realizing that it was not something I really needed. But in a flash I was mesmerized by the package, the smooth shapely outline of a woman made me wonder if I too could slip into the magic garment and become lineless in my new dress.

Thinking back to the vision of my mom struggling to get into a girdle, I thought twice about what I was about to do. But in a moment I managed to convince myself that this new model has to be easier to get into and with all the amazing advances in fabrics it certainly must be breathable.

I live in Arizona and the temperature can climb to 115. The last thing anyone here needs to do is wrap themselves in a garment that breathes like saran wrap. The combination of the longer mirror, the sales lady subtle suggestion and the smooth silhouette on the package, I was sold.

First I would need to determine the correct size, which can be tricky since they are not standard clothing sizes. It definitely seemed to be a secret code. My choices were A B C or D. After a few minutes I was able to crack the code. They were acronyms for:

A- Are you crazy – if you are this size you don’t have any lines (and there was not one A in stock and no apparent open spot for any so obviously it is a conspiracy). I think they just made up that size for the back of the envelope. Their feeble attempt to trying to make the B through D’s think that A’s would really need them too.

B-Bigger than A – let’s see if I am shorter than 5 feet tall than I can weigh up to 140 lbs. or I can be 5’5 but then I would need to weigh 110 lbs. tops, again if I was 5’5 and weighted 110 lbs I would not be looking at these. I would be sitting in Starbucks ordering a frappuccino at 300 calories and maybe even ordering the lemon pound cake, not worrying about how to look perfect in my new dress.

C ok now we’re talking. . The C must be for Common because this wide range of sizes listed encompasses most of the people I know and since this is the size I feel good about and I am now confident that this will be the magical key to looking fabulous in my new dress.

D must stand for Don’t keep giving into your frappuccino and pound cake addiction. It is like a threat that if you keep eating you will be at the top of the regular people sizing, but for now I am safe.

And as I leave the store I am feeling good, a new dress and the perfect undergarment to make me look like Gisele Bundchen. Oh yeah!

My joy was short lived upon getting home and opening the package. They must have put the wrong size in the package. Honest to god it looked like it would fit a 2 year old. But after examining the tag inside I learned that yes it was the size C. I now realize that the C must have stood for Can you believe someone bought this believing they could get this on. Maybe it’s deceiving; it must stretch more than it appeared. NOT the case!

I managed to stop breathing long enough to pull it up to my stomach where I realized that I had created a child’s swimming ring around my middle section. Instead of stopping to contemplate what I should do next as quickly as I could I stopped breathing again, popped my arms in the holes and pull it up all the way.

Upon examination in that long mirror I was horrified to realize that yes, I was successful in inserting myself into the death grip and yes as promised there were no VPL’s -visible panty lines (I am learning the lingo – thank you very much), but I was now the proud owner of not just a uni-bum but a uni- boob.

Noticing that I could not breathe very well, and anxious to see the final results before I passed out. I quickly slipped on my new dress and excitedly stepped in front of the mirror. The first thought was where did my waist go? In place of a womanly shape under this beautiful dress was a shape that resembled an empty roll of toilet tissue. ROUND.

A cylinder shaped body completely symmetrical from every angle. As I stood there in front of the mirror, lots of silly scenarios popped through my head. If I sit down to eat dinner will my circulation be cut off to my lower extremities and I will be rendered unable to leave the restaurant on my own power, if I trip and fall in my new heels, would I be able to get up or maybe it would be more simple to just roll me to the car.

As I stood there giggling out loud at all the scenarios, I had what Oprah calls an “ah ha” moment. It dawned on me what had really happened. I had been sucked into the abyss of retail suggestion. Instead of following my instincts, I had followed the path laid out by the advertising gods.

They were successful in suggesting that there was something wrong that needed to be fixed and then I would be perfect. I don’t care about perfection; I don’t judge myself on a scale. Not being able to breath and the restriction in movement was not going to be worth looking perfect.

I have lines, I have lines that mar the perfect lines of my clothes and I have lines on my face. Both of these tell of the beautiful life I have lived. People who never smile have no lines on their face and those who don’t enjoy friends, food and drink probably will never have VPL’s.

I am comfortable with lines, I know that I am not perfect, but I am beautifully imperfect. I know that the people I love and the people who love me don’t even notice my lines. So after extracting myself from the grips of the  magic garment that was now beginning to cause serious damage to my internal organs I decided to move the mirror to a different room. As for the magical solution to my imperfection, it is neatly folded and put away in my drawer.

It will serve to remind me a very valuable lesson. I now understand  that there are many people who feel they need to be perfect from the outside it may appear so. These may be people we admire and want to emulate, but we really never know the price they are paying for the appearance of perfection or the pain they are hiding underneath that perfect looking exterior.

As for me I am very grateful. Grateful that I don’t have to worry about being perfect. Grateful that I am loved exactly as I am and in being imperfect myself, I can more easily love everyone else without ever expecting perfection in them. My love to all. Kim

Six  Seven Simple Things to Remember Everyday

6. When you make everything really important ~ nothing becomes really important.

5. Don’t get upset over wrong turns in your day. Sometimes they take you to the place you are really meant to be.

4. Rules are things that other people have made up.

3. Just because you can does not mean you have to.

2. We all figure it out sooner or later. Have it be sooner so you have time to enjoy your life!

1. Today is the most important day because that is all we really have.

Oh Yeah I forgot.

LOVE!  Love is the reason we are all here. We came from love and we will leave this earth with the love we have given and received as our only possession. So today remember to love someone so you will have something of real value to take with you!

1930 Bangkok – A clay statue of Buddha residing in a pagoda slated for remodeling found itself without a home. Measuring 10 feet tall and very heavy, workers found it almost impossible to move the statue.  It could no longer remain where it had resided for as long as anyone could remember and finding a new home was proving difficult. The statue was of little value and unattractive, not worthy of a place of honor in the finest temples and so it was determined that it would be moved to a warehouse where it resided for the next 25 years.

 1955 Bangkok – A new larger building was now under construction and though the cumbersome statue of clay was of little value, its destruction was not an option, it was determined it would be moved to the new building. On the day of the move, the sheer weight of the statue was underestimated, causing a cable on the crane to snap with the statue tumbling to the ground. Fearing retribution; it is an ominous sign to drop a statue of a revered holy figure, the workmen ran in fear from the Buddha now resting in the open with cracks tracing its exterior.

 To further fuel the fears of the workers,  that evening brought  torrential rain, as the thunder and lightning cracked around them, the Buddhist priests, now in possession of the statue, attempted to cover the clay Buddha. Proving a fruitless endeavor, they finally gave up and retreated to the safety of the monastery, leaving the statue exposed to the elements.

 One of the younger monks concerned about the damage occurring to the clay Buddha decided to brave the elements and again check on the statue, this time taking a flashlight with him as he ventured into the darkness. As he approached the Buddha, the light from the flashlight appeared to reveal flashes of brightness among the damaged areas of the statue, however with the rain and wind, he could not make out what was the source of the light reflecting in the darkness.

 Upon rising the next morning, he and the other monks curious to see what the younger monk had reported the prior night, went to view the Buddha. As they began to chip away at the areas of clay that had cracked, they realized the entire statue was constructed of gold, five tons of gold.

 1755 – The Buddhist monks, knowing the monastery would be besieged by the Burmese army, chose to cover the solid gold statue with clay to protect it from damage or theft.  With all the monks losing their lives in the brutal assault, there was no one left to tell the Buddha’s secret.

 The Golden Buddha once believed to be of no value is now one of the most revered and valuable artifacts in the world.

 Aren’t we each a golden treasure covered by layers of clay? Is there not value within each of us no matter our position or power, whether we were born a king or pauper, whether life has graced us with riches or given us richness of life?

 There is value in everyone, even if it is not visible to the eye. The homeless man on the corner begging for food or the teenager who wanders the streets alone because home is really not a place of safety, the elderly woman who lives alone down the street or the injured soldier returning home, they are all covered in clay. Because we don’t see the gold, we forget and they are somehow perceived as less valuable, but there is gold under each and every one.

 What treasure lies beneath the facade of your exterior? How deep are your layers of clay; those you have allowed to accumulate? Were the layers added to keep you safe from harm or to disguise the brightness trying to shine from within, to hide your true value?

 Marianne Williamson wrote “… it is our light, not our darkness that frightens us”. By acknowledging our value and affirming our worth, we can no longer remain the Buddha hidden away covered in clay. Conceding that gold lies within us allows us to claim our place in the world. With claiming that place comes a responsibility to share your gift of  brightness with others.

 You see, by working hard to remove the clay on our own exterior, we allow our brightness to shine and as we shine brightly, we liberate others to do the same. By being bright of spirit, we allow our light to illuminate the cracks that have formed over time in the exterior of others. We need to let them know we see gold peeking through those cracks even if they don’t know it is there. We need to tell them they are valuable in a language everyone understands, that which is spoken from the heart.  

 The world needs brightness it needs people who understand that under the ugly clay exterior of others and even themselves, there is great beauty and value.  Become captured by the idea that a kind word or act can be the chisel that will allow someone to make the first dent in the clay that encases them.

 The valuable possessions we all seek are not “out there” but found inside each of us under the layers of clay. Love, kindness and gratitude are the gifts we are given, they are the light that  shines brightly  into the darkest crevices of another, illuminating the beauty and value hidden within every one of us. Together we can illuminate the world and reveal the secrets too long held under the layers of clay .

I was in a pet store the other day and happened by an aquarium filled with goldfish and as I was watching them swim in circles I realized they are completely immersed in their environment and completely powerless, stuck in a bowl without an opportunity to make a single choice. They require no discipline in their lives; everything is regulated for them, surrounded by water and completely reliant upon humans.

 We decide when to feed them, what to feed them, how much to feed them, when to change their water, they don’t even get to choose their burial; on land or at sea (flushed down the toilet).

 If they are our pets, we want them to live a long, healthy life, we feed them the most nutritious goldfish food, being careful not to feed them too much and change the water often so their environment is the healthiest we can provide.

 We understand if they don’t have clean water, they cannot breathe properly and soon will begin to struggle; no longer swimming happily all day, but become sluggish and lethargic. If we choose to over-feed them, they will soon be chubby and eventually stop swimming around; less exercise and more food – deadly combination for a goldfish. If you put too many fish in one bowl and provide no space for them to get away from the other goldfish, they will become stressed and begin fighting with each other.

 They require no discipline because they are not faced with any choices. We on the other hand can choose every one of these aspects for our own life, but are often not mindful or disciplined in our choices. We fail to look at our own environment and then make choices based upon what is best for our own quality of life.

 Think of yourself as a goldfish! What would you need to do to make more aware choices so you can live a long life filled with health and happiness?

 What choices could you make today to improve the quality of the environment surrounding you?

 Is the water you are immersed in, the environment around you, clean so you can breathe freely or are you suffocating under the stress of a busy life?

Are you choosing the best, most nutritious food to eat and limiting the amount? 

Have you taken time to get away from the endless routine of work and chores that crowd your mind, leaving no space for your thoughts to roam freely in the open space?

 Following is a list of things I need to be mindful of within my life. I hope you will consider adding these to your daily “to do” list.

 * Take time to have fun and laugh each day.

*Eat nourishing food for most of the week (life is too short to give it all up).

*Make sure you get enough sleep.

* Spend time with the people you love, those that enrich your spirit – no     weeds allowed!

* Meditate and enjoy the quiet as often as you can.

*Be thankful you’re not a goldfish! We are blessed to have the opportunity to make our own choices.

 We all want to live long healthy lives. If we make an effort to regulate the environment of our goldfish so they flourish, shouldn’t we take time to look at and then make choices that will nurture our own environment?

Life is not supposed to be about struggling within the confines of a bowl of murky water. It is about making choices that will allow you to thrive, living  a long healthy life in crystal clear water within a vast sea of happiness and joy!

 Namaste

Kim
