This has been a pretty substantial day for me. Several tasks I've been woring on came to completion while other opportunities opened up. I skip these entries on occassion and not typically because I've nothign to sat I don't make the time. But this is worth capturing as an historical turning point in my life. Maybe "turning" is too dramatic. Curving? No. Veering. Yes, Veering. An historical veering point in my life. Why? Well, I got up a tad fuzzy (Stellar time with friends and wine last night. The wine won.) yet still determined to take a stand by standing all day while getting things done. And I did. I cleared clutter in the bedroom and makeshift office (an open closet with a standing desk). I put away and threw away assorted items. I crafted and sent a very well written email to Jikoji championing more conscious attention to the concept of "Right Speech". I had a call with a retired fundraising professional who gave me some exciting ideas to consider that could be within reach. I finally refined and sent my reply to an old friend who reached out to reconnet, which was quite a challenging thing to do that I may write more in depth about that elsewhere. Suffice to say that I'm so happy with everything about my life right now that I don't know if opening that door might take my eyes off of the most critical needs of my time – writing and building up exitidy. And (drumroll) the other big thing is a "BIG" certification. My final work, a 30 min recording of me facilitating an EOL planning dialog, was well received. I had very positive and enthusiastic feedback. With this complete, my time and motivation are both increased. I'm also inspired by so many passing moments that further resonate for me as validations that I'm consiously living a really wonderful life. What'd I say earlier, to myself, in the garage, while considering when I'll go? Oh, right, "Sooner or later but hopefully later."
