What’s the truth about “Personal Development?!!”
Personal Development!
This short phrase we call Personal Development is rapidly growing ever more popular than the anticipated Trillion Dollar health industry itself!
Isn’t that something?!
We as human beings are so interested in developing ourselves personally, that it may become more profitable than even an estimated Trillion Dollar Industry!!
We might even consider that personal development may also include the physical health aspect of ourselves as well! That would be huge!!
So what is the truth of personal Development?
I think that many people are getting confused about what personal development truly means.
As anything, we as human beings in our societal structures take any form of interesting matter or non-matter, and turn it into a profitable opportunity. That’s the way of commerce; Free Trade; A value system we call money…
Not that anything is wrong with this. We just need to remember the core reason of why we are interested in personal development in the first place!
I believe that personal development truly means “understanding more about ourselves” as human beings.
“Understanding more about ourselves!”
That’s the key phrase here. If we don’t understand ourselves, we don’t understand much of what is going on around us. And vise versa… If we understand both “who” and “what” we are, than we have this unique inner “ha-bility” to understand more of “what” and “why” the things are happening to us in our lives!
For example:
A person may consider that if their “business is failing”, then it is the “fault of the economy”.
Or if their “relationship is failing”, it is the “fault” of their spouse.
Or if their “language barrier” is actually a barrier, then they unfortunately “have a disposition”.
Or if their “physical or genetic makeup” is different from industry standards, that they have “less opportunity”.
Though there may be “some truth” in any of these 4 statements, the truth comes in the belief of the individual whom “believes these things” against themself.
If we “believe” that our lives are more difficult, “then so shall it be.”
If we “believe” our relationships will fail, “then so shall it be.”
If we “believe” we are at a disposition, “then so shall it be.”
But!
If we “believe” that “we have opportunity” to do something about this, and “we have potential” to overcome barriers and road blocks, and we believe there is something or “some solution” we can find or do about our situations…
“Than so shall it be!”
It is “easier” in the “beginning” to blame and “feel bad” about ourselves and our situations than it is to “accept the truth” and overcome these obstacles with hard work, “perseverance”, positive thinking and “true understanding”.
But!
If we “understand ourselves better” as human beings…
And we understand better our personal lives, or our “personal development”, than our happiness and “ha-bilites” unfold and develop into blossoming expressions of living examples!
This understanding I tell you truly can come to us in-nate. (yes, that’s in-me…Nate)
And it’s not only innate, but it’s in-you!
An underground master teacher of mine named Art once said:
“Truth is always truth.
Lies are also truth,
but truth can never be a lie.”
When we find our truths and understand ourselves better,
life becomes a wonderful expression of that which we understand!
Good luck in your personal development..(if you believe in luck) and have a wonderful day
developing yourself!
“Be yourself, make it simple.”

Overcoming Doubt!
Having power over doubt!
Doubt is a strong energetic vibrational frequency more
commonly known as an emotion…
…that often times controls more of ourselves than we wish!
I’ve personally had a huge lesson thus far in life about doubt!
Sometimes we doubt our parent’s intelligence…
Sometimes we doubt our children’s competence…
And many times we doubt ourselves…
Doubt has taken its toll on my personal and professional life
in the past, and it has helped me to resist in making decisions
that may have benefited me if I would have taken the risk at those
times…
But good thing we have the past, for it shows us what we should
and should not do in the future…
..Both preventing further mistakes, and experiencing higher levels
of personal success!
Life has given me a very challenging opportunity to deeply understand
the power of overcoming doubt, and using it’s opposite polarity to
achieve the things I needed to achieve…
…What’s that word?
Oh yea!
“Belief!”
Or better yet..
….Believing! (The action of belief!)
Believing in what?
The answer to that question is pretty simple, and at the same time
kind of funny!
Believing…
Well….
In anything!
Having a belief in something, and following it through with
all of our being and passion is one of the most exciting abilities
that I have found in my life to be beneficial and just totally awesome!
I dont know if you know…
But Recently I created a miracle!
Well, I think we all kind of create small miracle all of the time…
heck…
Waking up everyday and taking a breath of life is a miracle!
But this one was a little more influential for me, and easy to identify
because it was more of a conscious situation!
I paid rent!!
That’s right!
I was behind on rent ever since I moved into my place on the beach in the coastally expensive artsy Encinitas…
And thankfully the landlords have been ok with me being behind.. They told me I was the most responsible tenant they have had and they really appreciate me!
(Go figure!)
Anyway, I let down all worrys or doubts about paying rent this month, even though It was already the 2nd of the month and I hadn’t sent them anything yet, and I remained focused, determined and practicing my 4th Dimensional Thinking habit…
It has been kind of funny these past few months…
I Mean, normally you could consider that I could be worrying, or stressing, or things like that..
But no!
I haven’t been…
Actually, I’ve been quite happy with life!
And believe it or not!
At the last second, when It looked like I should be packing my things and heading for the first “coyote” truck to cross the border and make a run for it to Mexico…
My phone rang!
It was a previous business partner..he said somebody wanted something I had..
And before I knew it, this lady I never met before, whom actually didnt really need what I had, but decided it might be good for her, was writing me a check for the exact amount of money I needed to cover my rent!
A coincidence?
Of course!
A miracle?
Sure, why not, we could see it that way!
I think it was a result, and I am very thankful for that result!
So, in conlusion:
If you want to ask the prettiest lady in the coffee shop out for tea, or you want to quit your tiresome job and pursure your dreams, or you want to manifest your rent for next month, or anything that may stir up some emotions of doubt…
I recommend you remember this story, and more importantly, in your own life…
Practice!
Practice your power of overcoming doubt!
And eat your way to a healthier lifestyle!
Talk to you soon and feel free to leave me your thoughts below!!

What?! You can literally create ANYTHING you WANT?!
Ok, I dont have a lot of time before the little tubular
bar at the top of my screen starts flashing red and
my screen shuts off…
So let’s go deep quick. Real deep. Real Quick.
And no ladies… I’m not talking physically. 
And yes gentlemen, I do mean past the intellect.
But I warn you…
If you’re not ready, dont go…
If your ready…
…hold on.
1
2
3
4
5
Let’s go!
Did you know that 5 Is the number of “freedom” in numerology.
Why?
Why numbers?
Where do they come from?
What’s their relevance?
How can they help you in your life?
How can they help you in your business?
How can they help you in your relationships?…
Marriages?…School assignments?…Projects?…
Sales?….
You want to know?
Then let’s go Back to the beginning.
Where do numbers come from?
The “nothing” of course.
Where everything comes from.
“The nothing.”
Or some call it the “Void.”
Same thing. But I think “the nothing” is more relevant.
Why?
Because in the nothing, there is nothing.
But that is where everything came from. So the nothing
and the everything are both nothing…
…and everything.
Holy Cow!
Too deep for you yet?
If so, dont be scared.
If you’re gettin’ it, then keep readin’,
it means you’re ready.
The nothing is nothing.
There really is no real explanation.
The mind cant understand it because there is
no way to PUT anything there to understand.
It is just nothing.
No explanation, no thought, no material, no space….
just nothing.
Go past the intellect. You’ll get it.
If you understand this concept, you can literally understand
everything…
…without books.
So….
Going deeper…
I dont know why, but this question is coming…
So Im gonna ask it…
Who created God?
….What an interesting question…
But who can answer that?
Can you answer that?
Who created God?
While respecting all religions, and all beliefs,
it’s an interesting question…that’s all. Something
to think about.
Be open to receiving the answer, and I think you’ll get it.
But like I said, don’t use intellect. Use your senses. That’s
why you have them. To use them. Use your truth detector.
It’s built in. You know, that little thingy in your stomach that
tells you when somebody’s lying…
Yea, that’s part of our design. It’s there for a reason.
OK, back to numbers.
Where did 0 come from?
Then where did 1 come from?
What do they mean and what’s their relevance?
Im telling you….
“The Nothing”
Here is the dilemma for many mathematicians…
“0 is nothing….but its’ first…..so it should be 1.”
“But 1 is first, so it is 1.”
“But 0 is before 1″
“Yea but 1 is 1, and 0 is before, but it is still 0″
(This is the point where they’re pulling their hair and
biting their cheeks with doubt and frustration…
..until they finally give in and accept.)
“Without 0, there is no 1″
Without “nothing”…there can not be “everything.”
You following now?
Or did you get lost?
This is YOUR POWER that you have to create anything
YOU WANT in your life…
If you’re lost, dont worry…
Let’s go back to Number 5….Freedom, Adventure, Courage,
EXCITEMENT, Risk…
For me, it’s all about Freedom.
5 is Freedom.
True Freedom.
Walk outside. Touch the tree. No thought.
Total peace. Happiness. Fulfillment. Love.
That’s Freedom.
Guns, bombs, laws, bla bla bla = no freedom.
Happiness, Peace of mind… now that’s more like freedom.
What’s my definition of freedom?
Let’s pull it from Nate Crane’s dictionary of simple
understanding…since I dont use the other dictionaries
too often…
…Freedom= The ability to control one owns mind and physical body
to achieve certain levels of high vibratory parameters and sensations by personal choice and on demand.
Ex: Peace, Joy, Happiness, Anger, Fear, Doubt, love…All chosen
at any given point and time on demand without the use of any
other external person, place or thing.
Explanation – If you feel entirely happy, and you want to feel mad and angry for whatever reason, CAN YOU become mad instantly? (That’s pretty easy for most people, right?)
Now, a little more challenging…
If your depressed, and you want to feel happy, can you change your state that very second by choice?
If you angry at someone or something, and you want to feel total love, can you change how you feel entirely at the flick of your fingers, and maintain that state?
If your sad and lost, and you want to feel fulfilled before your next
breath, can you change it willingly and on your own?
If not…
then your not free.
That’s truth.
If we are controlled by the way we feel, and cant control our physical and mental states….
Then we are bound by ourselves and our externals.
Which also is true.
So how can being “FREE” help you in your life?
Man… Just imagine….
Just imagine being able to change your state of mind from depressed
to happy and fulfilled..at ANY GIVEN MOMENT!
What an accomplishment.
How does 5 help us?
Use it as a parameter. A parameter to remind you that you need to
practice.
Why practice?
Because that is the most important word in the dictionary…
“Practice”
It is how you master anything in your life.
School, professional basketball, public speaking, training
dolphins, teaching, running, talking, walking, cooking Thai food,
relationships, love, happiness and everything else you could ever think of.
OK….
Deep enough for now?
(uuuummmm, this is good tea, from JAPAN I think…”Houjicha”)
If this was too deep for you…
..let me know below in the comments and what part you dont
understand.
And if you get the “feeling”, and understand what
I am talking about, also let me know below in the comments.
I know I know… This was only a glimpse…
But believe me…
or believe me not..
When you really GET this understanding,
you will be able to create anything you want in
your life….
Anything!
And I can elaborate on both…
but gotta run!
Talk to you soon!

Anger Management!
Free Photos
.
.
.
Have you ever gotten to the point of being very pissed
off, that all of the sudden you had perfect clarity?
I hardly get pissed off.
Very seldom do I get angry.
Not like before. Before I was a madman. A lunatic.
An outrageous street fighter that picked fights with
15 people at a time, lost teeth, hair and blood, and
went back for more after the adrenaline ran down and
I realized I only took out half of em’.
Those were very heavy days with my BIG ego.
My big ego! Thats right. It was huge, it was ferocious,
it was powerful and destructive.
How many people have a big ego today? Like a balloon?
Just fills up with air and makes you think your better than
other people.
Too many I think.
Dont kill your ego. Whatever you do…
…dont try to delete your ego. It’s painful. It’s hard to rebuild.
We need it. It’s part of our design.
My suggestion is to Learn how to direct it.
Learn how to direct it to do good.
Not bad. That’s what I practice now.
Production, not destruction.
So anyway… back to being pissed off.
Pissed off at my girlfriend. That night I was.
Actually, I was more Pissed off at myself for
being such a fool.
Pissed off for allowing myself
to be disrespected for so long.
SO pissed off that if she would have answered
the phone that night, I would
have ended it on the spot. No joke.
I was ready. READY for do or die.
Ok, not do or die…
..I practice reason and compassion,
so maybe it wasnt that extreme…
…but I was pissed off, in my car, doing a process…
a mental process to cool my mind and clear
my thoughts.
Get back to my inner peace.
Then, out of left field In the dark, a man walks by.
A tall dark figure cloaked in a sweater,
holding a tin can in his left hand.
Didnt see me in the car. Didnt seem to care.
The dark cloaked tin can hand man walked up
to my house, peered left…then right….then
grabbed 3 pieces of soggy wood,
turned, and headed back the way he came.
He decided to do that at the wrong time. Right?
Or was it the right time?
My feet hit the pavement, my veins like missiles, my
mind clear as ice and my voice like a shotgun…
..”Excuse me…
what the hell do you think you’re doing?”
He replied nonchalant, not even turning around,
“grabbin’ some wood”
I snapped back, “sooo, is that ok.. is that ok for
you to walk up to somebody’s property and steal
their wood? tell me… what do you think?”
He started to turn towards me, muttering under his breath…
“I didnt know you were home.”
“You didnt know I was home..so that makes it ok…is
that how you live your life, stealing, robbing, taking
when people aren’t home? Lucky for me and
not so much you, I am home.”
Then he became a smart ass..like a donkey, forgot
about his dignity and replied… “yes, it is right, it is
ok… theres nothing wrong with it..”
Quickly followed by “…wait…sorry, no your right,
Im wrong, here have your wood”
I replied so clear and straight…
“I dont need the wood, actually, it’s not
even my wood, it’s my roommates, and it’s probably
there for trash…it’s not about me being right….it’s
about you doing the right thing.”
I continued…” Listen, even if I were home, deep asleep in some
wonderful exotic dream, I would prefer that you come to my
door, bang on it until I answer, and then ask me to use the wood.
I would give it to you, I would be happy to give it to you!
I love to share. But I don’t like it when people steal.”
So he left the wood and walked back next door where I saw a pitiful
mistake for a campfire with a few friends standin’ around with tin cans
in their hands….
…the tin can hand band.
So I took a deep breath, grabbed a whole armful of wood,
and joined them for a delicious tin can and a few
hours of laughs, consciousness conversation, and
burnt soggy fire wood smoke.
Now we’re friends and they’re more
conscious about what is good and what is bad.
A simple concept that is often overlooked.
We dont need a book, a teacher or a cat to
teach us good or bad…
..all we need is ourselves, and maybe a little 4d
thinkin’!
Talk to ya soon!

In my shoes… with rubber
I was just Reading this blog by Veron Graham,
and got inspired to head outside and watch the
sunset, then come back in and jot some huff…
…So now, time to step in my shoes for 1.33 minutes.
Feet planted into the ground route deep like a tree.
Only a layer of rubber between my skin and the
natural healing powers of the earth.
The earth heals. Yes. It feeds our bodies with
natural antioxidants. Negatively charged Ionic
Particles.
So why is there rubber between me and
naturally being healed and healthy? Damn Shoes!
It reminds me that my choices of becoming more
in tune with the earth and the Universe these past
years has been well worth my time. Keep Going.
One day I’ll have shoes that connect to the earth.
But not like a hippie…
…unless you believe so.
The sun has fallen swiftly, and whats left is an expansive
array of golden light and orange peeled layers, meeting
upwards with breathtaking indigo, onto deep purple and
into the black, the nothing, the everything. One in the same.
Above my head lays a single star, a bright ass star, giving life,
love, guidance, something…but for sure a very bright,
impressively powerful star.
A star that attracts you. Makes you feel important, humble,
peaceful, alive.
Actually, I connect and realize it’s a planet. The same planet that
made me feel vitally alive 2 days ago with my “real” feet inch deep
in healing sand. No rubber that day.
A bright light flashes!
The sound of a town sinking! A huge gasping impulse of
deafening sound fills my entire body with force!
It’s a train! The San Diego coaster filled with busy tired
people going from A-B. Many from job to job. It’s 5 pm
on Wednesday.
I feel huge animal train circulate all the stagnant energy in the air, and send it
on its way somewhere else to be lightened, and less dense!
Thanks train. You’re great! A good pal! Keep it up,
you keep my office fresh and alive.
A few thought particles attract to my mind and is processed
by my inner without really thinking, more of a volition…
…I need to poop.
A practice Im doing. Flushing my
bowels. I guess it’s better to poop 3-4 times per
day, rather than only once like I usually do.
I’m testing this piece of knowledge.
I test before I declare. It’s the best way I’ve found
to determine truth.
The toxins and waste are better to leave the body
as soon as possible. It’s not good to let them hang
around and chat like wasted pals late into the afterhours.
Get em out when my body wants them to leave.
A good concept.
That thought is replaced by another…
…Just as the train moves dense energy, and sends it
away to become lighter…
…We can do the same.
Actually, I do it everyday. It’s quite spectacular once
you get the hang of it.
Acknowledging negative or dense thinking, then
transforming it to a lighter more joyful experience.
What a process. A practice. A challenge and an accomplishment.
Try it, it’s possible.
“Anything is possible” Says the Universe.
“Anything is possible?” I question.
“A juevo Que Si!” Responds the Universe in
Spanish.
(That’s slang for, “Of course!) But with heavier
slang…
Juevo means eggs….
…and balls.
“For sure as my balls!”
That’s more like it…
…the truth.
I love the truth, even when it’s ugly.
I need to face some ugly truth about my girlfriend.
It makes us stronger, happier, lighter when all said
and done.
What’s your truth of today?
Tell us below. We appreciate you.
Gotta run. More internet marketing stuff to do.
Talk to ya soon.

Love Your Profession…
Love your profession!
By Arturo Carbajal
Translated into human language
By Nathan Crane
Today we are going to talk about what
I believe to be is the most important thing in
the sales profession. (which applies to any profession
as well.)
That is;
Love what you do.
If for some reason you don’t love what you do,
Then you have 2 options.
The first one is to move on to something else.
The 2nd option is to LEARN to love what
you do!
Why is this so important?
Because it is the main cause of failure!
When a person is not happy with what he/she
is doing, they create a “rejection” energy
towards that particular job, activity or thing
he/she is doing.
The worse part is that they will quickly get familiar
With that form of thinking, and begin to do it
Automatically every day. As a consequence,
They begin to practice “Hate.”
This type of practice generates the bad feeling of hate,
and of course we start losing more sales, more clients
and more transactions, and we start thinking and asking
ourselves… “what is wrong with people?” or “They just don’t want my
products”…or “nobody wants this product”! or “people hate me!”
or “I have bad luck.”
Well, if you believe in luck, then yes you have it because you are
creating it.
Now lets analyze good and bad luck. We normally say that
We have good luck as soon as we obtain something, right?
And we typically say that we have bad luck when we
Don’t get what we want.
So if we compare this with the positive and negative
polarities of energy, and we use the principle
of magnetism, it would seem to me like “good luck”
is when we attract, and “bad luck” is
when we repulse.
This means that when we use a
thought of rejection relative to anything, the end result
does not bring us what we want.
This leads us to the realization that “love” is the key to attraction!
You can notice this when a male and female feel the attraction
For each other.
Love also vibrates at different levels, which can be weak,
Or it can vibrate very strong, but if there is attraction, there is love.
We never really say, “I want that woman because I hate her.”
Actually, if you really hate someone, normally the last thing
you want is to even see that person.
The feeling is so bad that we even go to the extent of wanting to
avoid contact with that person entirely.
So if you really want to become successful in sales,
the first practice to begin is loving, or learning
to love sales. To love sales, or to learn to love it, you just
need a reason. There are so many reasons for loving
sales, let me help you with a few:
It is a profession that is needed in order to “Move” any business in
the entire world!
You make more money because of your personal efforts, and
On many occasions, also the efforts of others!
Every business or company that offers a service or product,
Needs good sales people, and especially needs sales!
It will give you a better quality life style!
More free time for you and your loved ones, or the ones you want or
wish to love!
Sales is the base of the economy!
It is fun and interactive! And very motivational!
And remember these 4 very important aspects that you need to
Be very clear about in order to be successful in sales!
1. Have a goal (with date)
2. Create a strategy
3. Incorporate motivation
4. And of course… Something to sale
If you believe in attraction, then you need to believe in love!
Love what you do and you will see a tremendous increase in your
Productivity and you will experience loads of happiness!
So good luck, and love… love… love…. and sale…. Sale… sale!
Until Next time,
be yourself, make it simple.

4 tips for greenery…
This is a response I wrote to a nice ladies comment about
7 tips for going green in business, that can be found here
“Thanks for the knowledge and consideration Lesly,
As science I am sure should be able to prove by now,
The planet is a living being, much like ourselves,
and as a living being, which acts, breaths and lives,
it is in a desperate need of it’s inhabitants, (mostly humans) to
start respecting, caring for and loving it as a fellow friend.
Many people are now “going green” because they are becoming more
conscious of this truth, and they “feel” it’s necessity.
I like your tips, and I’ll add a couple of my own that I noticed I
was doing, that will help more business people become aware of
their fellow planet.
1. When faxing back and forth between the same client, use the same cover
sheet instead of new ones each time (if you must use a cover sheet) and just make the changes and/or scribble over the old text.
(I did it today back and forth 4 times) Maybe my client thought I was crazy… But I think she got the idea.
2. Be conscious of leaving computers and electronic devices on for long periods time.
When I leave, or take a break, I put my computers on sleep or shut down to save electricity.
3. Consider adding some additional solar panels to your office for added electricity, (especially if your in a sunnier climate such as California or Florida.)
4. Spend some time each day, at least a few minutes, walking into nature and noticing the life that the earth gives to us willingly without complaints or expectations. Cherish and respect that, if only for a minute, it will help bring you to a “higher” level consciousness, where you will then begin to make personal actions based on your own desire to help preserve the planet.
Just a few tips to add, like you said Lesly, there are so many things that we can do, and if each individual person simply practices improving their own consciousness about their impact on the planet, it will create a huge beneficial effect on the rest of the world.”
Thanks

Snowed in…or snowed out?
It’s the day after Christmas in one of the smallest towns on earth, Albion Idaho…
…7 foot snow drifts block the front window’s view of any passing traffic, (if that were even possible!)
I left Utah’s pristine snow resort, famoulsy known as Park City, after 2 days of wine, cheese, movies, a beautiful adventurous woman, a half working jacuzzi, shopping, massages and plenty of ice cold snow…. just to enter into a realm of even more snow, cold and ice. (It seems never ending up here!)
The little local corner cafe I chose for mine and my girlfriends last meal before we parted our separate ways for the rest of the year, was a common northwestern hangout breakfast place; Overworked, pretty faced young waitresses, machismo mexican cooks, and deicioucly greasy bacon and egg dishes…
…left me with an upset stomach, and way too many trips to the bathroom putting crap out from both ends of my body for 2 days straight.
Now that my 2nd leg of the journey is nearly over, and Im ready to cruise 8 hours to infamous Bozeman Montana for some family and friend visitations (too bad one’s got to be behind bars), Im stuck with one little problem…
…the Arctic snow storm that ripped through this little town left a snow drift 7 feet high, as an extreme obstacle attached to my Mother’s 4 wheel drive orange Chevy truck, preventing us from going anywhere until the mountain of snow is moved.
My girlfriend recommended that I use my radiance to melt the snow…I’m workin’ on it, almost done, but I’ve found a deeper message in my half conscious dreams last night when I asked about why I was feeling so sick.
The answer that my inner gave me, (the other part of myself) had directed me to go inside myself, and spend some time doing some cleansing, and pulling out anything that needs to come out.
So I lay half awake throughout the entire night as my stomach growl viciously, my intenstine churn with pain, my throat filled with that nasty throwup flavor, and then suddenly, my mind begins to write mental blogs about things such as love and happiness.
I asked if I should grab some paper or better yet, my laptop to record this incredbile informaiton I was downloading from some unkown source, and the answer came clear…No, just keep writing mentally, and tomorrow is one of those days that you should stay inside and be resting.
Well, now I dont have a choice except to stay inside and continue resting, because we cant go anywhere!
Im paying attention to the messages of life through the help of 4th Dimensional Thinking, and in this case, it has become very clear. The metaphor is to be inside and spending time with family, friends and happiness, sharing love. (How appropiate, being the Holidays and such.)
Looks like tomorrow will be more appropiate for driving, and when I get to my destination, I find no benefit in fighting against or cursing the cold mountainss of snow, rather…I’ll go find a way to have fun and enjoy it, such as planning a snowboard trip!
I”m on top of it right now!
I find that the moral of this story is to enjoy your weather no matter what season of life you’re in, for it will always change, and it will always reappear…. how you choose to embrace it is what matters most.
Please comment here and tell me what you think.

Holiday Season…Gluttony or Goodness?
I am surrounded by a overly anxious and highly anticipating vibration of airport frenzied human beings. A rolex wearing wrinkle faced man just tripped over my bag, followed by a low grumble under his muffled voice, and the earpiece wearing man to my left just rattled to his wife as she left to relieve herself in the ladies room,”your not gonna wander around are ya?” She replied frantically, “no, just usin’ the bathroom” And he immediately responded with a controlled sense of habit, “make sure you come right back!”
Ahh.. the holiday season!
What better place to be, then in the middle of a busy San Diegan Airport on the Sunday before Christmas with a group of like minded individuals, leavin 65 degree weather to go travel in the 3 coldest and snowiest states on earth,Utah, Idaho and Montana…
..Well, at least we know that most people here have one main thing in mind, and that is the day after christmas, when they’re stuffed full of the relatives hand cooked food, a full nights rest that has been long awaited and sought after for the entire previous year, and the trip home away from their grumbling fumbling family.
Did you know that this time of the year is the BEST TIME FOR DIVORCE LAWYERS?
Yep, they get most of their business during this traditionally “happy” caring, loving and giving time of the year. (At least those are the newly acquired meanings for msyelf… Even though I spent some childhood Holidays on the streets and induced with massive amounts of alcohol and street drugs form the time I was 15 until I was 18….for some reason, it has become even more of a meaningful time for me.)
Only a few short years ago, by no means was I in harmony with the idea of Christmas and Thanksgiving…
…I decided that Christmas wasn’t exactly for me…but somehow recently, (probably from a result of practicing 4th Dimensional Thinking) transformed me starting to believe that we should practice being thankful and giving and caring all of the time… Every day, and especially to ourselves and from our hearts.
But it seems that we as a race, (humans) need an excuse, or a reason, to say without expectations..”I love you, please have this gift…it is from my heart.”
But then again, how many people actually give from their hearts during this time of the year without expectations of getting some gift or present in return?
Do you?
I dont mean to sound negative here, believe me, Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. I was actually able to sit myself down for a few hours and put down some seriously thoughtful words into a multitude of HILARIOUS cards, all filled with good intentions of laughter, love and harmony.
I read over them last night before I did the final zip on my overweight 57 pound “healthy coffee” stuffed duffel bag, and laughed myself to sleep…so at least I Know the people I will be seeing will get to enjoy some laughter over this Holiday season, and that’s what’s most important to me at this point…
…Along with visiting my scattered family, sharing some good energy,holiday drinks, maybe some much needed deep conversation about the Universe followed by the usual arguing, I’m also going to see my beautiful girlfriend in Snowpackedville Park City Utah.
I tried to surprise her with a fire place packed “hot tub havin’” romantic condo, but she somehow always seems to not let me surprise her, yet she always expects surprises…go figure.
We’re gonna have fun!
Even if Santa aint real and the whole idea of him is about overeating, unhealthy gluttony of milk and cookies, fear of doing bad and receiving coal as a gift, expectations and mental slavery…
I truly wish you a fun filled happy 4th Dimensional Merry X-Mas!
You wanna know the secret of christmas…
(The meaning is what you decide it to be.)
Enjoy!
