I felt very lucky and honored for the opportunity to connect with someone who was a channel for such transformation. The journey and the shift continues... and I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has come to share it with me. I'm finding that when you are learning new things, there's comfort and even joy in having people in the classroom with you. So if you're contemplating a bit of renovation or maybe some small disaster has forced one upon you... don't fall under the illusion that you are alone!

Thank you Ria for reminding all of us that our external life is a relectionof our internal life. We can't compartmentalize! It’s all in the quality of questions we ask, isn’t?

This one seems to have struck a chord with a lot of people, who commented on the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/note.php?note_id=104849117410&ref=mf Yes, your book had a profound impact on me. I have been blessed with some wonderful companions and teachers on the journey, one of whom just reminded me again of what you say as well... if you want something different, you must make different choices! Seems so simple, huh? Thank YOU for your book and for being inspiring. I've shared it with many friends. Sarah, thanks for taking time to comment on my post.

There's so much more here when we do begin to pay attention, and when we see, as you have, that pushing the snooze button gets us no where. As I point out in The Not So Big Life, if you do what you've always done, you get what you've always gotten. So if you want something different, you have to make some changes. And the only way to do that is to become a keen observer of your own behavior, and to learn to wake up by becoming present in everything you do. Once the journey begins, and once you actually hear the alarm bells that have been going off for so long, everything changes, and you start to participate in your life in a whole new way. Congratulations to you for doing so and I hope you'll come and visit on the not so big life community forums, where there are a number of people sharing their insights and their questions. I participate a lot there, and would love to have your contributions in the mix.
