Day 55 ~

Metamorphosis - can you feel it?

What a great picture to show it (Pilgrim - I thought of all your kitties when I found this!).......it is in all of us, sometimes we just can't "see" it.

We are having severe t-storms right now - with tornado warnings & a touch down in the next county.

I am supposed to teach a yoga class tonight - we'll see if that happens..... , but I want to talk about yesterday.....

It was an awesome day - I was surrounded by wonderful people at the health food store I work at! The last hour we were open I started a conversation with a guy about raw food, next thing I know in walks some raw friends - a mother & daughter - they get in on the conversation - not 5 min. later another lady doing Alissa's 30 day challenge walks in (tomorrow will be her 30 days!) - It was so cool - everyone there just chatting about raw foods in little groups. Next walks in my friend from Fond du Lac who just started making & selling raw foods in our store - with the delivery for the week - 2 min later - another girl interested in incorporating more raw came in - so, you can see where the entire hour went!

It was GREAT!

So much positive energy flowing around - smiling, laughing, vibrant conversation - what a day!

That's why I did that post yesterday for all my buds here - I wanted that love to go in a complete circle!

There is something "big" at work here.....I know I've said it before, but there is such an awareness going on - it almost gives me the goosebumps!

We are all here for a reason, at this very moment in time - meeting the people we are supposed to meet, learning new things everyday - growing & taking the "risk" of doing something new - maybe even "scary" to us........

Metamorphosizing into something beautiful.......

Exactly who we ALREADY are......... ;)

    Wow, isn't it wonderful when people spontanteously (misspelled?) come together!
    Please stay safe, I'm worried about my friends who are traveling today to Wisconsin, to be with Lori's parents, during this bad weather. Very odd weather pattern this year! It's cloudy this afternoon here in Tennessee, had a t-storm earlier. Take care!

    I have an update: The road in front of my house is completely flooded out - this has happened in the last hour - the water is coming up & over my sidewalk down my driveway. I don't have a basement, but the water outside my back door is around 2" from coming in my house! WOW! I haven't seen anything like this - EVER!

    I've been taking pictures on my phone of cars/trucks trying to make it through - it's up to tall truck doors in some spot. Someone was walking on the sidewalk & the water was up to his knees (adult male). This is kind of scary......

    Monk, I got such good vibes when I read your wonderful post. They all flew away when I read the comments about your current situation. May I say "OMG"! Please keep yourself safe. I will say a prayer for you and everyone touched by this.

    I was very happy to hear about your "rawsome" day at work. My sister worked in a hfs in Montreal and has just moved to Kingston where she will be working in another hfs. I am looking forward to discussing raw food with her now. Please let us know how you are coping with the flood situation. I so hope the water has stopped rising and didn't come into your home.

    The flood waters have subsided & on my street it doesn't look like anything happened - I will post some pictures tonight. The water didn't end up coming into my home - but my neighbors had about 1 ft of water in their basement. (I guess I'm lucky I don't have one).

    That' a relief for you. I can't imagine the misery so many are going through now with so much flooding in so many places, not to mention their losses from tornadoes and that is just speaking of this continent. Hope you have a good day monk.:)

    I'm glad you escaped the worst of the flooding, Monk. And it must have been wonderful to be in the midst of so many rawbies, all sharing that great energy. I love the butterfly in the cat! Thanks for letting us share in your inspirations. Your enthusiasm is contagious!

    I've been worried for you. Can imagine how stressful it must have been for you!!! Glad to hear your home is safe and dry. And I just love that picture of blue butterfly cat. It makes me smile.
