LAUGHTER & THE OCEAN

I love Tuesday mornings.

I call SG Christina at 6:00 a.m. to wish her a Ha-ha-happy Tuesday.

She picks me up at 7:30 a.m. and we do the course at TY Park.
2 1/2 miles of fabulous trees and birds and dogs.

We walk and talk and LAUGH. Ha ha ha.

Today's LAUGHter Circle was AWEsome.
16 people show up to LAUGH with WSM Noah and I and the trees.
Ho ho Ha ha ha - hokey pokey - we shake it all around
What OMazing enerCHI we create together

From there SG Christina and I go to the ocean
Even though the waters are cold (73 degrees today)
that does not deter us from jumping in head first
(only way to do it when it's cold)

we swim out to the reef and there we float on our backs and
OM - life is good - and then we HA HA HA while going with the flow
We ha ha ha as we look up at the clouds - feeling the sounds
reverberate in our ears and in the water.

7 minutes later we are racing for shore
We sit and dry off in the yummy sun
I love Tuesdays~@~

LAUGHter & Draguation

It's 10:15 p.m., Sunday, October 3, 2010. The music is blaring. It's way past my bedtime. I am standing on the 2nd floor balcony, overlooking the dance floor and stage.

My feet ache from the high heels. My face is itchy from the makeup. I am hot and sweaty from this wig. I am way out of my comfort zone. There are still seven OMazing performers before me. I am tired, am losing my hearing and not sure what I am going to do up on that stage. In fact, I am scared silly. Ha ha ha.

The voices start to take over - louder than the music and the ruckus vibrating around me - the naysayers in my head. What's Going On?

I take a deep breath and look across to the balcony on the other side of the bar. In the dark and flashing light chaos, I think I see Sister Goddess Christina. I wish, I pray. I think she sees me. There is no recognition for a moment. Her right hand goes up and she does a HA HA HA party in her hand.

At that moment, a lump in my throat shifts and a tightly held back tear falls out of my eye. Amidst the din and confusion, both my hands go up reflexively to HA HA HA right back at her. A smile shines from deep within and just takes over my face. I take a deep breath and I relax into the HA HA zone.

I shake the tension off my back and into the ground. My fears forgotten. I AM the Goddess of HA HA. BEing a Queen for one night - I can do this.

I breathe again - deep into the moment - the air is electric - the love vibe in the building is pulsing, thumping, beating - like a Mama's heartbeat. I am so excited - dancing and singing to a crowd of loving supporters - what an opportunity to grow. Tee hee~@~

Sister Goddess Christina (a/k/a Joy In Motion) and I - we shared this special moment - a secret HA HA HA - in the midst of the hurricane. The HA HA HA - in my BODY and out of my HEAD. The ego became my amigo as BODY WISDOM took over. Just BE the best ME I can BE. Muscle memory & connection to something greater than Me took over. Very good, very good - yay~@~

Thank you Sister Goddess Christina for the HA HA to A-ha moment we shared. Thank you for BEing my angel in the wings. And the fabulous roses you had for me waiting in the wings. Ha ha ha. I am grateful for our SISTERHood and this Omazing muscle we are growing - together - in COmmUNITY..

Feeling the fear and doing it anyways.
