This week we have spent time considering all the dreams and goals we have set for ourselves over the last few months and the balances between them. We have spent most time on the charity/non-profit project, perhaps at times to the detriment of our other goals – in the areas of travel, financial, relationship, simplicity, and overseas living. So this week we’ve looked at balancing that a little more. With the plans going ahead to investigate the possibility of opening an non-profit in the Dominican Republic, we have started again to look more closely at these other areas. How exciting! More to follow.
We also had a lot of fun picking out several hundred dollars of art that Evan had traded massages for with a well known local artist, Ben Mann. We got to wander around and pick whatever pictures we wanted. So now we have a large tropical island picture scene and some dancing skeletons for us, and a flower bouquet for a house warming present for Andy’s mum and dad (as they move to the coast this week from London) – all pictures in the well known style of Ben.
To celebrate our commitment to moving further forward with all our dreams and goals, we are having a paving stone placed in the local labyrinth that is being built in town this summer. Labyrinths are the ancient walking meditation tool where you walk slowly and contemplatively around a spiraling pathway to the center and back. They are often found in the old churches of Europe. We have chosen our inscription to remind us and others of our personal power, using part of a phrase from Ghandi – “Be the change.” It is going to be built in August 2010!
Things are happening now!
