Hi!
Well, it's appropriate to start my blogging today--it's my best friend's birthday! Carolyn and I have known each other since we were in the 6th grade--sometimes I think she knows me better than I know myself! And today, I really really wish I could talk to her but she's in India (hooray for her!) and about to leave for London. (Man, I don't envy her that flight! Talk about your jet lag! Ouch.)

AND, today is also my friend Marty's birthday. He's husband to another of my best friends, Leanne. Leanne is totally swamped today because her business conference begins this week and of course she's in charge of a lot of the set up--she's sort of air traffic control for the event, something she does really really well. Though I wish she could learn to be nicer to herself--she is one amazing lady!

Today my challenge is to learn that no one causes my feelings. They may trigger them and that's a good thing. Because once triggered I can look at them and then release them. Today, that is an especial challenge. And, I am challenged to speak up. I am ever so good at swallowing my words and being a "good girl." But that habit made me sick, like almost dying with cancer sick so I don't want to do that any more. I am so very sick and tired of being taken for granted. What exactly is there about it that I keep creating that in my life? Obviously there's a lesson here as well. Maybe I don't value me quite as good as I could? (Notice I said could, there are no "shoulds" that's a myth created by others who want to control us but they can't only we can control us and that, just barely!)

Enough for today. People are cooking food here where I am and I want to elbow my way into some of it.

love light & hugs
leslie
