I love the energy in this for you. It also sounds like it is meant to be....the universe has filled your order.....I love how you are dreaming freely and fully yet not getting too attached to the results. Again, I want to come visit when it is fully manifested? Will you invite me please? I think I want to come visit when it’s done. I love the energy in this for you.

Kathy always smacks the nail on the head! I agree, yet since I was eight, I wanted to build my own home! Yes, I can hear you, yet I REALLY want to live in a space that I design. I have lived all my life in spaces dreamed by others. For the past decade, I renovated yet another home, only to find myself yearning for the REAL deal. Comfortable, yet NOT what my heart continues to tell me. So very quietly, I asked the universe to deliver a small parcel of land where I can build. IT manifested quickly...a one acre parcel, five miles from here, with a view that resembles eternity. At a rock bottom price too, in this economy. I chose a builder quickly who appears to be a kindred spirit, who LOVES my dream house design and covets my single lifestyle, just a bit. Simple, contemporary, Eco-friendly, open floor-plan, and affordable. Just the envelope to take me to my end-of-days and nurture my creative spirit. I am not rushing blindly ahead. My practical side drives me to begin the tedious budget/cost process, yet I can see/feel this and I am calm. If it blows up in my face, I will accept the result and continue to dream. Yet, 2012 promised to be the year of positive change, and the universe appears to be providing. Kathy, my dear what are your thoughts? OOXX WOW and WOW-ZER! Kathy always smacks the nail on the head!

I had someone send me an email today that said she gets the silent treatment at home all the time but we agreed that that wasn't quite the same thing! It is the intention to be still and to listen from the heart to all of the wisdom that the silence has to offer.

How do you cue in to us so well?? Thank you for sharing this experience. Just incredible. What we all do every day and seldom stop to really listen to ourselves, let alone, the people who matter most to us. Love, Nancy Once again Kathy your inspiration has lifted me when I most needed it.

I love Anne LeClaire's book and am rereading it...so much insight and beautifully written. I think there is so much we gain from silence, whether it be 5 minutes, 5 hours or a day...there are precious words of wisdom to be found beneath the noise...thanks for sharing yours.

It's like saying "I know where I come from"....and again, it's not actually literal. Like you said, it feels like being clear and claiming who you are. Then this power transfers over to all the questions of your life....answer the questions, be clear, and claim who you are. Absolutely!

In fact, my brother counted, we went to 13 different schools. When someone would ask me where I was from, I'd say "My dad was in the military; we lived all over." Well, it was just yesterday that someone asked me and for the first time I replied, "My family was from the mid west, I was born in New York but lived in North Carolina for the past 20 years." I felt like I was laying claim to who I was! I was an “Air Force Brat” and we moved a lot too. In fact, my brother counted, we went to 13 different schools.

It's only 9:30 and the response I have gotten to this post is phenomenal. I've had two phone calls, several personal emails and your responses above. I think we all feel the fear.....and it's nice to hear others admit it. I also think we all know that it is just that - fear. And especially if we have decided to "go for it". Who wouldn't feel the fear? But, it's what we do with it that counts. It's later in the day and I am feeling powerful, brave, energized and focused. Thank you, thank you, thank you.....
