you! I didn't write you in December or January because I was involved in a
head on car accident in December. My car was destroyed, but I am just fine.
The air bags went off in my face and all I could see was white. For a moment
I wasn't sure where I was. I looked down at my body and realized my feet were
still on the earth plane. The next thought was....Oh S*#*#, I don't have full
coverage! Even though it was not
my fault, Michigan has no fault insurance and I was out a 2002 Subaru
Forrester. Ouch! I was involved in "shopping overwhelm" having
to find financing and a new car while figuring out how to do my Christmas
shopping! So it was a busy time and no newsletters were written. The fact is that
sometimes the storms of life come at us right when we are just getting back
on our feet. The only thing that matters is our attitude. I have found
that they key is to not take those storms personally, just as I don't take
blizzards personally. Since I am such a nature freak, the metaphor really
works for me. It was one of those
times that helps you remember how precious life is and how in the blink of an
eye it can be taken away from you. For that I am grateful. I kept my spirits
high giving thanks that I can still dance, work hard, and play with my
grandchildren. The midlife support
groups are continuing to be a huge testimonial to what women can accomplish
with a little bit of support, love, understanding, and most of all permission
to be, have, do, and say what feels selfish at first. It is an honor to be
supporting all of you. As I do that I also receive a huge rush of
"endogenous opioids" - internally produced chemicals that
affect our brains like opium.(read article below) I LOVE MY JOB! My editor
is coming to my home this weekend from Ann Arbor to work on the Midlife
Magick(tm) Handbook some more. It's been a very challenging, but rewarding
project and the goal is to have it done by the fall. Michigan is
in a deep freeze right now. It's about 5 below zero as I write this! When I'm
done I will be running out to the hot tub, taking a moon
bath, and then coming in to a cozy fire after a productive day. Life is
good! I love
hearing from you! Please share any comments with me by clicking: mailto:Dinah@Midlifefairygodmot ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "When you deepen your
relationship with your soul and connect more deeply with the soul of others,
you find and follow a path of love that is uniquely yours." Sanaya Roman Did you know that
when we cheer a friend, rock a baby, nurture others we get a hit of
"endogenous opiods", internally produced chemicals that affect our
brains like opium? These create a delightful warm, glowy feeling. They have found
that it is one of the reasons women look to nurture others....especially
when we are stressed. In the past six years researchers found that in
women the fight - or - flight response is tempered by a rush of oxytocin
which is called the "tend and befriend" hormone. That explained a
lot of what was going on for me when I burned out and why, even when I was so
depleted, I wanted to nurture even more. The
interesting thing is that they also found that any nurturing that we direct
toward ourselves triggers the same endogenous - opioid surge we get when we
nurture others! Does that make it any easier for your to love and nurture
yourself as you do others? I hope so. I have also experience
this surge when I give myself an "inner bath" of my soul's love for
me. I feel the elixir of love circulate through my entire body. I imagine
that I am experiencing sweet, enchanted kisses on my organs and even my
cells. I am convinced it had a great deal to do with my healing. The mind can't tell
the difference between what we imagine and what we are actually experiencing.
This is true inner magick! We have so many magical gifts at our finger tips. It is
said that to experience enlightenment, you cannot sit around and wait for your soul to contact
you and do all the work. Although it is always transmitting waves of
love to you, you have to know how to recognize and receive it.The easiest way
that I have done this is to experience the immense love that my soul has for
me through guided inner journeys. Your Inner Valentine Exercise * Find a quiet,
safe, comfortable place. Light candles, put on music, and create an
atmosphere of love and peace. * Start breathing
deeply allowing your belly to rise and fall. * Create the
intention to receive all the love that your soul has for you. * Tune into your
heart. Get an image of an extremely loving presence showering you with every
positive feeling you have ever wanted to feel from someone else - respect,
recognition, pride, acceptance, understanding, awe, wonder, and delight. Now
let those feelings in. * Allow any
emotion that is there to be expressed. Allow yourself to be filled
with the Divine elixir of love right down to the cells of your body.
Just continue to bask in the love until you feel full. Enchantingly, Daina Puodziunas ~ (Dinah) Join the free Adventurers Club and
