Five Surprising Things I've Learnt Since Releasing 160lbs...

Five Surprising Things I've Learnt Since Releasing 160lbs:
My life has changed in many surprising ways since releasing 160lbs with a raw lifestyle...here are a few of the more unexpected things I've come to understand/recognise:

1. The more giving, open-hearted and generous I am, the more the universe seems to deliver yumminess straight back at me, in abundance...

2. The more I listen to and honour the promptings of the 'still, small voice within', the more effortlessly and synchronously my life seems to flow...

3. I cannot make other peoples' choices for them, including what they eat, how they treat me or any of their reactions...

4. Don't take anything personally (kudos to Don Miguel Ruiz especially for this gem ;). If people are behaving towards me in a way that I find confusing or rude, I find it most useful now to recognise that it is their OWN stuff they are acting out towards me and to send them blessings and let go of it... ;)

5. I have a choice in every single moment to spiral my energy upwards or downwards – life is open to interpretation and misery is always a choice ;)

I trust you're enjoying your own inner and outer explorations too...what surprises you?

1 quart water

I was recently reminded of the AMAZING photo exhibition 'Ashes and Snow', which I had the supreme pleasure of visiting in person in LA, back in 2006...have you seen that exhibit? Apparently it has been seen by over 10 million people now, worldwide, making it "the most attended exhibition by any artist in history". WOW ;O ...So I would guess at least a few of you have borne witness to the astounding beauty in these photos, depicting humans and other animals together. NOTE: none of these photos have apparently been 'photoshopped' AT ALL, they are all shown as takentruly profound – check out the full gallery at the link below:
