But as I recently read somewhere ... change only happens when PAIN outweighs JOY ... so I think the scales will tip sooner or later for the better. Personally I think the world have a real head vs heart battle at the moment .. and if you naively optimistic .. your heart is definitely winning and there is a real chance for a new world.

We all need a reminder that... there is no destination!! We are living the destination in every moment... transformation implies going from point A to point B, truth is that we are always in a combination of point A & B - no workshop required! :-) Thanks Ang!

I got surprised by joy this week. Did taxes until 2am in the morning on Monday. Burned the midnight oil again on Tuesday. Suffice to say that I detest doing tax and excel spreadsheets. When I got home Tuesday night, very, very tired, I decided to celebrate having handed in my tax. I poured myself a Cape Velvet, put on my Gladiator CD, lay down on the couch and looked at my thatch roof. I love that roof. I've always wanted to live in a thatch-roofed house, and now I am. It is just that I do not look at the roof that often. Suddenly, from nowhere, I felt a deep well of joy open in my heart. Lay there, ecstatic, looking at the roof. Closed my eyes and felt the kiss of an angel. Pure joy. Yes, have been "transforming" for a while now. The "result," in my view, is simply greaer openness to joy. Then it can surprise you anywhere. Now I know God (also) lives in my thatch roof. :-))) Lucky me. I got surprised by joy this week. Did taxes until 2am in the morning on Monday. Burned the midnight oil again on Tuesday.

A choice indeed. Workshopped out YES! I love it. It makes us more conscious than ever to choose. I feel like I live my joy. And all started with our soulgroup last year.

This is happening often. I guess I need to work on filtering what I let in and what I let affect my Joy. It doesn't stop me in my persuit of Happiness, but I often feel like I've taken a blow for stuff that isn't mine. I let go of materialism and experience peace, and then other people in my life make demands of me or dump their issues on me which contradict my sense of Wellbeing. It's not that I am giving up in any way. It's just very tiring! Thank you for always putting things into perspctive Angela. Your writings certainly revive me. x I have the issue (or ish, as my schoolgirls call it!) of feeling like I’m becoming more alert and awakened and in touch with myself and the universe, and then a whole bunch of external stuff jumps on my head and interferes with my sense of peace and harmony.

I've come to the realization that sometimes it is actaully much easier to do life and growth than what we expect it to be, or think it should be. If we embrace it joyfully the rest just falls into place magically. ‘Alive, relieved and open’ What more could we want or want to be at any time?

I have found that transformation is a process and not a project. If one is in the flow, you are directed to the next level of joy when lying on the grass and hearing the call of what is next to burst into. The universe sends its messengers to throw stones, then bricks and then blow off the roof until you listen. Its a privilege and not a grind to transform. I believe it is tiring when I am "doing" and not evolving in my transformational journey. “And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” Anais Nin Thank you for your part in my transformation! can only speak on my behalf, but I know when I am in the transformation zone when Anais Nin’s quote rings in my ears (see below), when my body is constricted, I cant breath and I am dissecting the hurdles vs leaping over them.

A new workshop is being offered in the Lowveld, and while I an keen to do it, a part of me just wants to sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labour. In the last month, I have attended a life story workshop and four Artist Way group meetings (each week comes with 7 morning pages, 1 artist date and about 10 small solitary tasks). I'm at a place where I don't need to do every course offered - where it's not about the end goal (and this is a first for both my inner dragon and myself!). I am elated to say that I can now see that, at times, where we are in our development is exactly where we should be. We are such perfect beings - especially in our imperfections. Sometimes all that we need to be 'doing' on ourselves is to just be. Today I am faced with ‘when is too much work on yourself too much’.

Amen sista! I have been on a spiritual "journey" or "path" as I affectionately call it which in fact meant for me that there was a destination to be reached. I have been very harsh with myself. One of my shadows is Procrastination and I have not acted on some of my Joys because I was waiting to do it when I finally "arrive"! I explicitly said at the Shadow work that "I AM TIRED (of transformation), when does it end!" Approaching transformation from Joy has for me been a freeing experience. Simple but not easy..
