Benefits of Mental Space - Plus Steemit 1 Year Anniversary

Almost a week without creating any content has been good for me.

The second half of that week took some discipline. I really wanted to hop online and start typing away. Thankfully I instantly realized that it would just distract me from my lack of clarity in areas into which it is my top priority to bring more light. It would create an illusion of progress.

One more post. X many upvotes, comments, maybe even shares. A day well accomplished. Not to just eat, sleep and let this day pass into the next.

A little of that is fine, but social media "progress," even when it comes with crypto rewards, must not substitute for actual forward movement in life.

So yeah, this week nursing a cold and only posting once was very good for me. I still don't have complete clarity, but I definitely have more clarity, and that's something.

Life Update

One cool thing to report is that yesterday I met with an online friend who's been following my work for years. She participates in all my workshops, membership programs, and so on for about 5 years now. So it was great to finally meet her in person.

At one point I started trying to share some insight with her that was at the edge of my awareness, but since I wasn't feeling well I just couldn't get my vibration high enough to really pick it up clearly. So I invited her to participate in an energy attunement session I've done hundreds of times in the last couple decades. She was eager to do so, and what ensued was what will hopefully be a life changing experience for her.

She got a lot of confirmation and clarity around some things she's been fretting or debating. (If only I could do the same for myself as quickly!)

We then drove into Austin downtown where I treated her to a "southern comfort" lunch, which was just 20 minutes from where I'm staying on a permaculture farm right now. Then it was time to say goodbye and her to head into a 3-4 hour drive back to where she lives. She actually rented a car for the day just to come see me. About 7 hours driving just to spend 4 hours hanging out with me. I feel honored and nourished by the experience.

Well, that should do it for this week. And thanks for bearing with me on how infrequently I'm stopping by your posts. I'm staying on top of upvoting comments on my posts, I think, but I'm just not spending time reading online much right now. I really need to lie fallow a bit and let some thoughts brew in that emptiness.

Maybe see you next week though.

P.S. We forgot to take a picture together!
P.P.S. Reading a friend's post just helped me realize that tomorrow is my 1 year anniversary here on Steemit! Interesting headspace to be in for the date.
