The joy is experienced in experiencing the process....

As Kym sat cross-legged on her cushions, back against the wall, listening to Deepak Chopra's Healing Affirmations, the realisation came to her, maybe you could say it was an epiphany.

Back track to this week.....Kym has been listening to a new CD pack from Abraham-Hicks during the week (a Christmas present from her parents), and one of the discussions came from a woman who had submitted an application to participate on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show, and she hadn't heard from them in the two months since she submitted the application, and consequently was not experiencing positive feelings about this. Abraham informed her that if the process of submitting teh application brought her joy, that's all she needs to be concerned with.

This must have been processing in Kym's subconscious mind since hearing it, so this morning, as she sat on her cushions, back against the wall, listening to Deepak Chopra's Healing Affirmations, she realised the significance of this discussion and how it relates to her life right now.

Kym is currently working on two pieces of writing for two different competitions. She has been establishing the intent that she is the winner of these competitions, however she realised that the joy she experiences when she sits down to write her entries is all that matters. Her intent will be answered one way or the other. The other area in her life that Kym realised brings her joy and anticipation is when she purchases Tattslotto tickets. She will only purchase them from two shops because she loves the people who serve her. They converse and joke with her, and Kym always finds her self smiling as she leaves their premises, and importantly, she looks forward to the banter with these people. Of course she would love to win $20 million, that would be awesome; this morning though she realised that it is the process of purchasing the tickets that she brings her joy.

And it is the joy that Kym is experiencing in this moment, as she writes this Blog post, that inspires her to do it, irrespective of how many people read it, or how many people become 'followers'. The joy is in the writing and that's all that matters. As they say in world of community engagement, it's all in the process.

Early morning hues.....

Kym awoke at 5.35am, 10 minutes earlier than she'd programmed herself the night before as she drifted off to sleep. She lay in bed for a few minutes listening to the sounds of early morning....distant traffic, birds, the train, Jeff snoring.... She got out of bed and quietly took her iPod from her bedside drawer and picked up her meditation pillows exiting the room ensuring not to wake up Jeff.

As usual Munch Moo, Kym's psychotic cat, appeared from her hiding place from behind the couch, and smooched Kym as she got comfortable on her meditation cushions. Kym's inner voice indicated that Dr Wayne Dyer's AHH Meditation was the right one to start the day. Twenty-five minutes later as Kym was coming out of her meditation her inner voice went on about going for an early morning walk, so she finally gave in. It was close though because she wasn't going to, feigning no time, have to get ready for work etc etc.

And boy, was Kym happy that she went for that walk; it was absolutely superb with the waning moon's reflection glistening on the pond, and the ducks swimming in the cool morning water; the sun rising above the hills behind her house, and that special morning light that illuminates everything it touches with softness. Beautiful.
