Like Chocolate Covered Strawberries

I began this blog because I thought it would be a way for others to lead me into my next steps. I also drew a “Creative Writing” card repeatedly when I was drawing from my deck of angel cards. The card instructed me to get off my butt and do some writing and that others wanted to be inspired by my thoughts. Well, the angels are a bit more polite, but you get the idea.
Then my amazing “wacky, healer dude” kept telling me that my body wanted me to do writing, that I needed to be creative just for the sake of being creative. Something about my third chakra being blocked, I think.
I’m not sure why we have such a hard time trusting in the far out stuff that comes our way, or why society laughs at people who listen to angels, but I’ll be the first to stand up and say, “This stuff is REAL! Wow!
Yesterday was one of the best Valentine’s Day ever. I spent the day sending out the blog announcement and my new email address, etc. It was an easy way to connect with all of my friends across the planet. For some reason I wasn’t expecting them to write back (Sally Field theory of no one really likes you, I guess). But write back they did and I had a wonderful time catching up with everyone and feeling all of the excitement and good wishes that everyone shared.
I think that I finally FELT the possibilities that technology is providing for the opening of the planet. Not only can I literally connect with most of my friends in far flung places, but I can be creating something with them in real time. And theoretically the number of people that get connected is HUGE!!
Opening myself up to a blog seemed like it would make me feel vulnerable at first. But when I started writing, it was a much freer kind of writing than anything I had ever done. More open and ready for contribution from others. And those of you that know me well, know what a big step this is.
So, if I can feel that opening, after years of “protecting my intellectual property rights” and “getting it just perfect”, then imagine what the world will be like in just a few years when everyone can be so free, when kids growing up in the world of My Space, blogs and You Tube don’t even know what it felt like to HAVE to get it RIGHT?
Or when everyone realizes in a tangible, undeniable way, that we are so NOT alone in this world! What can the world be like when kids KNOW from day one that, instead of worrying what the neighbors think, that we are so interconnected that a creative thought in Seattle actually does affect someone in Bangkok, Thailand?
This is going to be a fun ride!
