Now you must work on building the trust. Sometime there are residual hurts from big heart wounds that get in the way of us trusting others. I know that I had to forgive my ex-wife for her lack of belief in me and I esopecially needed to forgive myself for keeping that would alive many years after my divorce. Things really started moving after I cleared that wound with tons of loving energy. Stacey - Yes! No doubt you were in your element and ready to rock! Screw them if they can't take your boldness or your budding greatness. Even that could be your fear projecting out. Let it go - you are ready to shine. :) Jen – You’ve made an excellent realization.

I noticed while reading your blog and you shared this part: By trusting one another deeply, we evolve more rapidly, as we might have naturally, if we had always lived within mutually supportive environments of highly aware, intelligent connection, - that I began to feel that there is still some blockage in the 'trust' category for me.. so when you shared to trust one another deeply, that is something I am still learning to do.. I'm one of those people who when asked to fall back into someone else's arms trusting they'll catch me, I still have not and could not do that with my closest soulmate. So, I think there are still some areas that I need to push through on in the trust category! Thanks for sharing, and inspiring me to push further into authentic growth! Namaste! ~Jen .-= Sharmila´s last blog ..Affirmation: To Worry-Free Unfoldings =-. Tom,

I'm not sure if I'll get it together by then but I will look into the services that allow connection both ways. Evan – Not unless you dial the number using Skype long distance.

It's quite the balance to get when you really care like we do. I've been working on the Big Link Rally experience, website and marketing plan for what seems like far too long. But some "work" is simply necessary in the early stages. Jodi - I don't post as often as I once did but that would be way too long! :) I'm happy you've visited once more. Absolutely kids are fabulous examples of the carefree lifestyle that we can all enjoy. Thank you so much for your support. Jannie - Yes I love your vibes and wish you could make it. Heck I'd even share the stage with you for a musical number. But stay tuned, I'm pretty certain that I'll eventually take this show on the road and offer both virtual and live events that may fit your schedule.

I just realized that my bookmark for your site was set for your post on July 29--all this time I thought you had not yet updated your blog! This post is excellent. I love what you wrote here: "Do you see how this connection to one another was weakened while growing up? Our natural trust for one another was instead replaced by the fears of cultural conditioning." I see the joy and ease of connection between my children and their friends--or just random kids they meet at the park or on the playground and wonder why it isn't like that between adults. The way in which you are seeking to change all that is inspiring. The more we can get people to show up for each other authentically and lovingly, the better lives we all will have! Hi Tom!

I have used feedback forms that I pass out to teachers during our presentation and gotten some great ideas from them that I have implemented. No it's true, I would love to be there. But No mon hun. Right now I'm just paying bills and buying food. I know I have to give up on the idea of perfection but still I want to create the best product possible.

Who needs perfect. Sometimes the mistakes show h us gold that we would not see any other way. You are a brilliantly unique man with a unique goal. The world needs your service. Think of all of those who are waiting to support you not the few naysayers who mayu doubt you. Richard - I've asked for the grounding because once I make startling realizations I sometimes forget what others are looking for and I've been most appreciative of the questions others have asked so far. I get where you are coming from and yet I really don't care how insignificant or big my work is in the total scheme of things. I see a big problem and I'm answering it with a big (at least in my own mind) solution. I've got the balls to tell the story as it develops so all here will get to see how significant it really turns out to be. Please at least be open to being astounded. It's changed my life. Laurie - If I were you I'd totally give up on that idea of perfection. Do the best you can with what you have and then put it out there. Sometimes the after the fact adjustments are what a product really needs to be valuable. Look at all the software companies who sell beta versions that aren't nearly complete. That way the customer gets to have a say in the completion. The last time I checked they had flights from texas to Pittsburgh so what do you mean you really wish you could be here. If that's true then make it happen. Karl – Go for it man. Who needs perfect. Sometimes the mistakes show h us gold that we would not see any other way.
