A fat kid who grew up on the coast of Maine in a previous century -- actually, in another galaxy far, far away -- I thought I was too stupid to go to college. My comfort zone, my self-esteem, and my success zone --were about the size of a quark, and just about as stable. The times they have "achanged." At 30 I came across Helen Keller's statement, "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." That changed everything! Since then my adventure has found me on the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, finishing the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon, and solo through-hiking the 2167-mile Appalachian Trail at the age of 59. Then followed the biggest challenge of my life as I caught Lyme disease on the Trail and spent the next 5 plus years recovering. And now, my adventure is taking me to some of the grandest adventures yet. Watch this space for on-going developments!

A Thanksgiving Meditation
I have written in a number of places about my definition of the "comfort zone," which is "that barren area which surrounds you and within which nothing new will grow. I've further explained that the barrier or fence at the edge of anyone's comfort zone is always, always, always some type of fear. Childen, before they get indoctrinated with the fears and fences of families, communities, and cultures, typically have wide open comfort zones. As time and experiences accumulate, all too often the comfort zone gets smaller and smaller.
My biggest dys-comfort (dys being an abbreviation that stands for Doesn't Yet See) zone in the particular lifetime has been in the financial zone. I can look back over my life and see how very far I've come in realigning my energy with money and wealth, which in the past was completely in scarcity. However, I've not yet REAL-ized -- made real -- the financial abundance that I now KNOW is my (and everyone's!) birthright.
Recently, I've been aware that magnificent abundance is hovering very near my physical manifestation; it's all right there so close to physical manifestation, but not quite HERE. Now, I must confess that there have been some feelings of frustration and fear. Bless them, they are the needle of my compass pointing out that my energy needs re-alignment.
Thanksgiving Day I went for a long walk along the river, loving the moment, loving the day, loving the dinner experiences I was looking forward to, loving myself and my world. BEing outdoors in a beautiful place always makes it easier for me to be easier in my energy, to release blocks and let it flow more easily.
Toward the end of my walk, I found myself surrounded by love, knowing and experiencing that I was breathing in love and breathing out love. I was immersed in love energy. I was experiencing the fear/resistance to my financial aboundance as a clear wave just in front of me. As I breathed out love, the boundary in front of me, melted down as it was bathed with the love energy of my breath. With each breath, the fear fence melted more and became smaller and smaller until I was aware that there was no boundary between me and Infinite Abundance and Prosperity.
It was important to me to take time out of my holiday weekend and share this experience with you in the belief that you will locate it and find it of value to your own abundance journey. Peace, blessings, great joy, and abundance!
