Day 7 Report

Last night I had a series of dreams.
In one, I was grading papers, but carefully choosing the colored utensils I would employ. I paid attention to each color and how that color made ME feel, so that I would encourage rather than frighten the children I corrected.
Dream 2: I was snuggling Kachina, a horse I know. When I woke up this morning, another string of thoughts regarding her came to me, but only one stuck. I’ll keep you posted on it…
Dream 3: Anyone ever seen the animated movie “Secret of Kells?” Well, I have - many times - as my children loved two movies while I was pregnant: Ponyo and Secret of Kells.  Anyway, in that movie there is a scene where a pretty malevolent Crom Cruach , a Celtic Deity represented as a glowing white snake made up of language symbols in a black void, is defeated by the main character trapping him in a circle of chalk, where Crom consumes himself.
And last night, my dream was that this Yikes-Factory was coming after me. 
I know, right?  What the …?!
Day 7 means it’s been a week since I started being taught the tools that would allow me to Master My Influence. 
So how’s it going?  Welp, I’m dreaming about it. So I guess that’s saying that SOMETHING is getting through my R.A.S and starting to stick.
Can I get a Woo Hoo?

Looking Up

A few years ago I was advised to “write happy.” This advice came on the tail of my Life Coach having read - of his own free will - a whole book of poetry I’d written in my youth/teenage years.
I told him that I knew more about pain and misery.
And even as I said the words, I knew they were a lie…I just didn’t know why. 
Enter Kirk Duncan, Kim Duncan, Ann Washburn and the 3 Key Elements (a wondiferous company if there every was one!)

(For imagery sake, see Kirk enter stage left with his arms open, palms up, a big, sincere smile on his face. Kim enters stage right with her gentle yet powerful sashay and dressed to the nines, complete with eye-catching necklaces. And Ann, powerfully listening, is backstage this particular time as the capable, encouraging, places-calling stage manager. The Elements themselves were flown in from above, sparklers whirling on the edges of the banner (which means there was someone like Wayne or Kevin or one of the myriad of other fantastic employees back there working the pulleys).
I bet it was dazzling and the music was playing the first time. So why didn’t I see it? I didn’t see it because I was looking down.
Yeah, they’ve made an entrance at least three times.
But this time it was all of them … and this time I looked up
