begin again

Posted on by

This morning I entered the day with my camera.  Diving into the work from a different end of the pool.  Finding stillness  and a beginning through the lens.

Sometimes I think that beginning again is like climbing a summit.  Lots of sweaty, hard work to get to a new place.  I forget that it can be effortless.  A breath is a beginning.

I have been writing a lot about something that Abraham calls “segment intending.”  It is one of the processes from Money, and the Law of Attraction. What it means is that each time you shift an activity, you are conscious that you are leaving one segment – one chapter or scene – and entering another.  For example, if I am writing this blog, and the phone rings, then I am leaving the writing and starting a phone segment.

The next step is to bring a sense of intention to that next segment.  Just being aware is plenty.  If it is a phone call, then setting an intention to be present and patient is a good one for me (who tends to be impatient and wanting to be somewhere else).

So this morning, starting the day with a different point of entry – the camera- was a way to find a new perspective.  I also set an intention that I would dip into into seeing and feeling first thing.  Beginning with a different feeling in the body – striding across the field BEFORE sitting to write.

How do you begin?

more light

Posted on by

This photograph is one of a series that I took on one of my morning pajama outings to catch the light.  I love the negative space, and the filigree of carts and trees.

This year is the first that I have been taking pictures, and it has thrown me into a relishing and savoring mood about light.  In the past, winters were dark, period.  Camera in hand, I am a light hunter, a sun seeker, and discoverer of color everywhere.

finding focus

Posted on by

I saw this cabbage in Whole Foods.  It was so beautiful that I bought it specifically to photograph.  It was also sweetly delicious.  Since I got my new camera, I have been obsessed with image-making.  I am like a kid in a candy shop of color, light and shape.  Seeing me in my pajamas on the road is becoming a common sight for morning commuters.  Oh well.

I am also a new blogger.  I LOVE that.  I feel as if I am awakening from a long hibernation, and stretching out in the sun like a cat.  Writing has become luscious, unpredictable, my morning improvisation.

It has also pushed me to re-calibrate, to look at my goals.  Life goals, work goals.  To articulate them for myself and for those who are helping me figure out how to attract more people to the site.  More readers, more conversation, more connection, more community.  Practical law of attraction work.  Yesterday I heard Abraham say that if your action is driven by need or worry or lack, it is counterproductive.  That the best way to attract what you want is to get happy.  Simple as that, really.  It is a vibrational universe and we have to be vibrating at the highest, happiest frequency to attract what we are wanting.

I am pretty happy these days.  Actually joyful.  That has not always been something I could say.   I am writing about that this week in The Journal. What it is to be A Dangerous Woman.

Today though, I am writing to you, and that makes me very, very happy.

What is making you happy?
