Hello dear friends and family,

I continue to be very grateful for all the love and support in the many forms that it is coming to me in as I make my way on this path.   I was gifted a book by Gregory Boyle, "The Whole Language - The power of extravagant tenderness".  He notes the definition of extravagant to be to "wander outside", originally meaning "unusual" and "outside the norm".  Thank you for your extravagant support and love.  Regarding tenderness he says "We need to fan the flames of tenderness in each other.  Once we are reached by tenderness, we become tenderness.  Thank you for being tenderness to me/with me in this vulnerable time and state.

I continue taking my Avini products and Terry's Naturally supplements (from my dear friends at Nature's Garden) to support my return to balance/health.  Some days I walk and exercise, some days I mostly rest.  I have had very active days in the past month, enjoying friends and Montana beauty.  I am starting to go in to the office to clean up my unfinished paperwork from my abrupt departure, as well as be in connection with my work family.  It feels so good to be there.  Also, resting every afternoon is making it's way back onto my schedule.

I am asked frequently how I am, and that really varies from moment to moment - sometimes optimistic and courageous, other times scared and overwhelmed.  In the big picture I am grateful.  I have recently decided I may as well enjoy not having to keep a busy fixed schedule and that with this current routine I am living in the lap of luxury!  Might as well enjoy what I have.

I finished the Louise Penny series and now hope to begin reading my many books relating to healing, the nervous system and of course The Whole language.
  
This month I want to start exercising in the pool at Eagle Mount.  We'll see how things go, I can't always keep up with my ideas.

Lots of love to you

Patti
