Can’t believe it’s been so many months since my last blog post: so much has happened! After my book was published, I guess I just rested for nearly 8 months, hahahahaha. Now I am back teaching this fall, celebrating the release of No Limits, my latest CD, and looking for new projects! Never a dull moment. Things I’ve learned: stay focused on the things that matter: cultivating more loving relationships, creating good in the world, reading good books, staying healthy, and getting enough sleep! This past summer, my husband and I went to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and to two big game reserves in Botswana. It was a most amazing journey. We did not know exactly what to expect, but there was not a moment on the trip that was anything resembling ordinary: the first morning at the Victoria Falls lodge, I was piling my plate full of breakfast when a small monkey jumped up on the ledge in front of me and tried to grab a piece of fruit from my plate. For some reason, I didn’t freak out! On our way to and from dinner at the Chobe Game Reserve, we walked by a group of warthogs eating the grass. Okay, cool. No need for lawnmowers if you have warthogs around, right? And at Camp Moremi, we could hear lions roaring near our hut every night. The sunsets were glorious. The animals spectacular. And we learned to live in the moment. Out there, anything can happen! Trying to remember that now that I’m back home is harder than I thought. “Going with the flow” is a necessity on a game drive: here, it is easy to imagine that I am in control of what happens. It is a necessary illusion, I suppose, but it also gets in my way quite often. Learning the art of letting go, it turns out, is a lifelong quest. But one that is well worth it. Now that I have returned to this blog, I will be writing every Sunday. I hope you will join me in my meanderings.
