A Cupla Videos . . .

But first, an update on the home front. Dad had a pretty rough couple of days last weekend, becoming really short of breath on Saturday, and needing oxygen to relax enough to sleep that night. He was also very unsteady on his feet with little energy and strength, actually needing help to get out of bed in the middle of the night to go to the loo. On Sunday, he stopped taking the medication that's meant to stabilize his heartbeat (because it affected him the same way last time he went on them), and has been progressively improving in energy and strength ever since.

Mum's cough has just about gone now, and her Doctor told her today that the blood test she had yesterday indicated that she was going really well, and the blood tranfsusion, that he had thought she might have to have, is simply not needed at the moment. That was great news!

Me . . . well . . . I'm goin pretty well. I'm still able to take time out of the continuous 7 days a week schedule to nurture myself, and I get enough time to answer emails and update this Blog from time to time. I am now swimming three days a week in the local pool while Dad & Mum have their afternoon nap, and have made several new friends through a fortnightly DVD night and the recent co-hosting of "The Moses Code", held at Mystic Body Mind Soul, the little shop with the big heart in downtown Atherton.

Onto the videos . . . in the last week or so, I have been sent a couple of fabulous videos, and so I thought I'd share them with YOU. The first one (many thanks to Karen, Mas, & Liz P, who all sent it to me) is a brilliant talk by a brain scientist who had a stroke and survived, called "My Stroke Of Insight" (click on the link to view). The subject might sound a bit boring, but her description of what she experienced is extremely captivating, and if you watch the first 5 minutes, you'll want to watch it to the end.

The other one (many thanks to Liz W) is called "The Shift" and it is both a wake-up call and an invitation to become a part of the shift in human consciousness that is sweeping the planet right now. Resist it or embrace it, but Heaven on this sweet earth is-a-coming, and the only real choice we have is how comfortable the ride down the rapids is going to be for each of us :) Enjoy . . . and In Lak'ech to YOU!
