I think I'll use ALL of your ideas. Abundance is such a great word and I didn't even think of that, Katia! It is definitely chocolate worthy and I already know just the milk/nuts combo I'll send. Cathy, the idea of the New Normal is so good, hard as it is to get used to. Leaving Zach was like that. Just had to get my head around the new normal. I used that in class today. And Bethie -- that's what Lori said on the phone, too! You know me sooo well.<br />Thanks!<br />Reb This is so great everybody! I think I’ll use ALL of your ideas.

(skiing in Arabba in March is a good start -- two people from the Greece trip are coming from LA to stay with Mufasa! How cool is that?!)</i><br /><br />What better way to create/continue creating those things for yourself than to do a workshop about them/one. Not sure if that's Swiss Chocolate worthy, but if so milk/nuts. :) This may be a little obvious, but… quoting you from a couple posts ago:

THINGS I’M CREATING FOR 2007
Abundance!
Living in partnership
Singing!
Continuing the journey! (skiing in Arabba in March is a good start — two people from the Greece trip are coming from LA to stay with Mufasa! How cool is that?!)

What better way to create/continue creating those things for yourself than to do a workshop about them/one. Not sure if that’s Swiss Chocolate worthy, but if so milk/nuts. :)

Barbara Sher talks about gathering groups of people for idea parties, in which people get up in front of the group and say, "I'd like to be a ____, but I can't believe of _____." You're actually great at thinking up the NEXT step after that. Kind of an "I've got an idea, what the heck do I do now?" kind of thing. Just get people moving in their minds about what they'd like to accomplish and then give them a good kick in the butt (that's YOU) and get 'em out there. Baby steps, baby steps! Reb:

Thinking about things as the "new normal" has helped me try and understand that it's okay to miss the old normal but that it's time to live a new normal. I'm bad at expressing my feelings about this, but I'm just passing it along. I have no idea if this is helpful to you!
