Hey,

Yes we went to the cleanse and it was more than I expected of course!

LOL

My daughter went with me again, and she was far more into going than I,

as I have so much to do with legal stuff and paper work, etc etc. but

she wanted to go and I figured that I could use a " break " ...

Well, I ended up finding a ton of issues! Who would know? Not me! LOL

I have signed up for another school. yes, it has become clear that I am

ready to be cleared.and during this time in my life with " mafioso " and

other stories I sure find a story for me regarding a " school " .a time

where I could really get some assistance in working ME.. So I will go

again in March.I so desire the freedom from some of the pain that is

left and I had a story that I enjoyed knowing what to expect from a

school, and I will get that story in some way. So this one is for me

totally (just as the last one was!)

The difference for my daughter was that this year she did a ton of

judgment pages.she wrote and wrote! It was very good for both of us.

And we did find where we were not " right " about each other! Oh we did

laugh a lot!

The setting was different, and we were able to find a place to eat once

a day. We did not juice like others. Or maybe we did! LOL Anyway

there were plenty of places nearby to get food in the evening.

Mona facilitated me with some thoughts on my " husband " .who knew I had

those thoughts! And Carol so sweetly gave me her chair the first day

and I took it! What a feeling that was.to accept something I wanted

from someone who gave it unconditionally (in my mind) and oh how I loved

that chair! I had my daughter at my feet and she leaned onto my knees

where I could massage her shoulders every once in a while.

Lovingly,

April

Yes, Neo, my friend...I was at the cleanse. I spent three of the

afternoons willing to do inquiry with others so I got to do my work

through people I was facilitating. It was interesting to watch how

the mind sometimes wanted me to believe that by doing that, I was

missing out on what was going on in the room where was doing

inquiry with others. Even when I wasn't doing inquiry with someone,

but was sitting in the back of the room in the place where I could

be called upon, that thought would distract me from being present

and listening to working with others, too. I loved noticing

myself sink into the facilitations that I heard or facilitated -- I

loved watching myself and the one I was with. It was a great

experience. The juice was really tasty, too. I did that for 2.5 days.

On New Year's Eve there was a no-talent show..and many many people

performed - two of which were flute performances which were

particularly touching for me. Something about that sound brings me

to tears. At the end of the show, there was more time for people who

would like to be added to the show docket..and it rose its hand and

asked for the woman who played the flute to share it. I hadn't

played it since 8th grade...when I was quite good. So she brought it

up and I stood on the stage and put it to my lip with my eyes

closed. I cherished that feeling. I explained that I would attempt

to play a solo that I had won a medal in during a competition in 8th

grade and it didn't come out anything like it did when I was 12.

The flute was different than the one I used to play on (mine was a

beginner's flute and didn't have holes in the keypads like the one

she shared with me) and my notes sounded airy. I didn't remember all

the fingerings for the notes, either...and I just played. It was so

sweet. I didn't care that it didn't sound *beautiful* like I used to

like it. I heard it in my mind in the exact way I remembered it

though. *That's* what I was playing...even though the external

didn't match. My playing was fabulous & invigorating. After I

finished, not even half way through the whole song, I got off the

stage with a wonderful applause and went sobbing on my friend's

shoulder. This sweet release of...I don't even know what. I was

complimented and congratulated personally by a small handful of

people afterwards for being so courageous to give myself that gift.

I loved taking that in. Ahhh....I'm in love with this experience.

Thank you for asking about the cleanse. Retelling this story is

happy for me.

Love, ~Mona
