Today we rode to Pienza. Colleen and I talked on the climb, continued our conversation from the day before about the living meditation, the moving meditation. It is living that IS the meditation, we agreed. Life is the journey. Action is the venue in which consciousness takes place. No wonder all these women want a moment to be near Colleen and talk with her. She’s not just someone who has a written philosophy of life…

I couldn’t sleep all night. I don’t know why. I borrowed Cheri’s mask of Zorro to keep the light out. I had earplugs. The whole nine. And Fran had even come to take the spider out of my room when I started screaming bloody murder after dinner. I got up grumpy from lack of sleep. And feeling like I was getting sick. I had a sore throat. My head felt stuffed up. I went to breakfast and had a couple cappuccinos. Italian cappuccinos can fix many of the world’s woes. And I don’t even drink coffee in the states…

I woke up to beating rain. Went to yoga and had breakfast. I opted out of the walk into town in the rain, since I didn’t think it would help my little head cold much. When the rest of the ladies returned for lunch, we sat at one end and Colleen told us about the dolphins she’s been swimming with in Hawaii for twenty years. Afterwards, we went out to the beach to do our Ceremony of the Heart’s Desire…

The nerves were running on the morning of the race as I woke up and looked out my tent door to the swimming portion of the course. It sure did look long. It was a very different type of nervous than my skiing nerves. This was more like nerves of the complete unknown, where in skiing at least I know what I am getting into…

Ten years ago, I would not have believed that a single experience would cause me to redirect my entire life. I had heard of this happening to other people, but I never connected the phenomenon to my world…

Picking up from the last entry, I shared how I was planning on doing a triathlon for charity. Well, it is no longer planning, and just a lot of “doing”! Everything is ready to go, and all I need now is your help to support my efforts…

I never anticipated how much weight I would gain while growing a 9 pound boy for ten months. I planned on being one of those girls we all see on You Tube and running laps during my last trimester, but in reality all I could do was walk in straight lines…

Today is swim training session number two with coach Morgan Filler. This day is about as different as you can get from our first session swimming outside the lines. The air temp is 50 degrees; colder than the water which is 56 degrees today. The fog is thick and the club is practically deserted…
