Now that is brilliant! I'm going to send it to a friend of mine who teaches mindfulness meditation. We've been having lots of discussions about the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves (or others). Is the story fiction or non-fiction? But this idea of reflection is another cool way of looking at the same thing. Thanks again. Amazing post.

It occurred to me last night that a lot of the self-criticism that I engage in comes from my perceptions of other people's opinions and reactions to me, or my judgements about myself. No suprise there.. and for years, the common wisdom, "Don't worry about what others think, etc", has never been that helpful .

Here's the thing.. that really is helping, finally... if I don't know who I am, really, and don't have a good clear perception of myself as an...

Found one source for anyone interested in a powerful group energy mantra that reminds me of the Blah Blah mantra

http://www.lightninginabo...nt.php and there is a movie that has no dialogue or conversation that captures the Balinese monkey chant - it is most freeing and inspiring Blah, blah blah..helps me breath deeper..funny how that works..love to you now and now

Hi Marianne

Wow, now I can see you and hear your voice!

What an incredible dream, such a gift for you in what could be very trying times.
You will be a gift to the new students and the new school.
Your spirit of krishna will melt their hearts and endear you to them!

Enjoy Saphypants, vistit and jam next weekend and the freedom of the summer!.

and we're always here and love you dearly.
you ARE a wonderful teacher and i'm sure the students (at least some of them) will adore you with out any need to 'tell' them to be respectful.

anyway
i hope ms. 'put things back where you found them' will soften herself and not make it hard or take any of the school system blah blah blah out on you.

hugs and love

Suzi, that's great!!

Thanks, everyone. My common sense confirms all your supportive comments, and the blahblahblah is helpful for the 2 oclock in the morning waking up in a panic anxiety mode. I'll deal with it.

Susie Flow...you rock, girl! Love that, except now I can't get it out of my head! The Beatles would definitely approve....

Marianne...I am sorry to learn you'll have to rove around the school system next year. However, it sounds like good fortune for the students in Mrs. C's class, I suspect they will be VERY happy to have you there. All that defensiveness points to something...

Hey Marianne!
I started writing this about a week and a half ago but never finished it.
I had forgotten all about it until I read the last line of your post.

You're feelin disconnected and you're stressed
