I often pick Angel cards(from Doreen Virtue's deck) in the morning after I meditate, to reconnect with my unseen supporters and get a sense of direction for the day. Today's card was "Celebrate." It's description was about knowing that I've planted many seeds and that I have so much support in watching over their cultivation.
Soon after, I jumped on my bike and rode through town, stopping to do an errand on my way to the BCCL. The morning was beautiful, not too hot yet--as I pedaled by the community gardens I passed the parade of dogs, babies, and their respective guardians sauntering along the shaded path. I whizzed over to Pearl Street mall (mostly downhill--even better!). After my stop at the bank I had the most delicious round of olfactory experiences. It's like I was being presented with the next and the next and the next: baking cookies (must've been chocolate chip) from a coffee shop; incense from Lighthouse books; and flower scent after flower scent from every direction.
I celebrate how nature puts on such a show and I get to be the applauding audience; I celebrate how, when I create space like this, life unfolds before me; I celebrate my co-creativity with nature and with my community. I celebrate my life.

Dreams come true
On May 9th, we had the grand opening of the new Boulder Center for Conscious Living.
Wow.
As I stood in front of the group, getting ready to introduce Gay and Katie Hendricks, I had a strong sense of "this is what it means when dreams come true." From my fantasy over these many years of having the intention to "create conscious community," to actually standing within a conscious community, I had the magnificent experience of being transported from seeing it all in my head to witnessing the much better version of "real life."
I feel tears of gratitude and appreciation in my throat as I write this. I am grateful to the community of people over the years who have stepped in to be my playmates in this vast new world of living life with the goal of feeling better and more expansive every day. I am grateful to my beloved, Kathy, for being my best teacher in learning the steps through the muck and back into the brilliant light of love and possibility. I am grateful to my fellow founders, Mari, Bryan, and Kathy, for taking ourselves seriously and making this idea into a physical reality. I am grateful to my colleagues, Mari, Bryan, Kathy, Nancy, Deb and BJ for saying YES, we can come together and teach this amazing work. And then, how do I even express my appreciation, my great-full-ness to Gay and Katie Hendricks? Every moment of every day has changed because of Gay and Katie. I feel joy; and when I don't, I know I will again. I feel magic. I feel the endless potential of this life. I cherish them both; I cherish you all.
