A good friend e-mailed me today commenting on my blog. In her e-mail she came to some really great insights and raised some really good questions. I would like to share them with you all (with her permission).

(Any comments I may add are in purple)

I just read your blog again:) I got to read your articles. AWESOME. Lori.....it was as if I was reading something out of one of Louises books. (quite a grand compliment, thank you) Really awesome for you to share your inner most thoughts so bravely and fearlessly....it certainly has inspired me to do the same :)

The article on bullshit, really got things moving in me.....because that's something I still struggle with. I know because of the closed loop systems that I have grown up in and worked in (not through their bad intentions but through being socially conditioned too) that its caused me to really take things personal and to let others hold the power of me(or I should say...I believed that they held the power of me). So constantly trying to achieve power and confidence has been a downward struggle directly relating to what others think of me. Which is not only unfair to me but also unfair to them. By becoming responsible fully for my own power (looking in myself...not to others, decloaking, speaking my truth, allowing my body to tell me the truth) will allow me to be free from the preconceived idea that I truly was a product of my environment and of my genes. Which to me feels like bricks being knocked off of my shoulders. I still feel abit unsteady but I am sure by the end of ITS...i will be grounded.

I have been procrastinating starting my article for ITS. but I think i am almost ready to start writing.

I feel like i am definitly a ripple in the tsunami......and i really hope I can cause major ripples in others lives as well :)

My view of humans beings has totally changed. Our society has absolutly not created a life supporting environment or helped us be what we are meant to be....it has turned us into very selfish, closed off, low level thinking creatures for the most part. Welsystems brings a breath of fresh air and hope, and goodness, and inspiration back to living. What I have a really hard time coming to grips (peace) with is why......why have we (super smart information processing machines) allowed ourselves to contribute and participate in how society has taken shape? Maybe it was our habitual tendencies overriding our briliance? Where did it all start? Who started human beings off on such a self distructive path? And why did it take so long to recognize this? or was it recognized and noone had that courage to speak it?

i am so full of questions....more so then answers!!!!

And to this I say... we are contining to evolve, there are always questions, reasons to become curious... there is always more.
