Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, I'm At Peace, How Bout You?

I could never understand how my co-workers could spend all afternoon in their hotel room.  When we would show up for the van in the wee hours of the morning and I would ask what they did the day before, I was always dumfounded when the response was, "I didn't leave my room".  Now, I'm sad to say, I get it.  Although I did leave the room today to go for a short walk.  I just had to get outside.  But normally I use my hotel time for me time, which means e-mails and blogs and writing.

I managed to accomplish a lot this afternoon.  I did yoga, some paper work for work, and an hour long phone call.  I also managed to assemble some sushi that I had brought from home.  It took me almost two hours to prep everything last night at home, but it was the best meal I've had on the road all month.  Of course, there was a sushi restaurant across the street from the hotel.  It figures.

My phone call was with a wonderful woman I met in Sedona in February.  She introduced me to flower essences, and has been counseling me in their use.  I was a little skeptical at first, but as with many things I am experiencing, seeing (or feeling) is believing.  I have been taking them for a month now, and the results are quite amazing.

When I went to see Michelle, I didn't have any physical ailments.  I was just looking for some clarity and direction with a few things in my life.  The essences have helped me with my self confidence and negative self esteem.  Before I started taking the essences, I used to worry about everything - ninety percent of which never materialized anyway.  I now find myself with a much more positive attitude and sense of relaxation.  I no longer lay awake in bed at night stewing over the problems of the day, or worrying about some calamity that will most likely never happen.  They have brought a subtle shift in perception and new found peace to my life.

Previously, I would have berated myself for "wasting" so much time writing.  "I'm not good enough, what will people think, no one cares what I have to say".  These were the thoughts that would have been whirling around in my head.  Now, I don't care.  Writing is something that brings me immense joy (a mystery in itself), and I will continue to do it.  And best of all, I have no doubt that it will lead to something big.  I don't know if it will be a book, but I have never had this kind of positive feeling and absolute knowing that something will come of this.  I attribute that to the essences.

If this sounds hokey or impossible to you, I urge you to try it anyway.  Remember, I thought the same thing before I tried it.  Below is a link to some frequently asked questions, and more detailed information about how essences actually work.
