What I want to remember from the beach

Thanksgiving: This beach experience is healing. Why? Because I had stopped believing that I am the most important person in my life. I had stopped following the airplane rule. Not on purpose, but for what felt like survival. In truth, there is no survival without the airplane rule. So, here's what I need to remember about the airplane rule:

  • I need my "five to stay alive" -- movement, reading, writing, meditation, and sleep. I need them not as boxes to check, but as ways that I nurture and sustain my light. It is my light that I share with others, so it's not selfish to keep my cup filled. I need that to live my values. 
  • I am loved. Everything about this trip is an expression of love. The idea, the hotel, the food. Love made manifest. 
New Year's:
  • As soon as I arrived back here, I remembered how my spirit was reborn here last month.
  • As much as I loved my first experience here, I knew it could be better if I were cozier, so this time I brought a robe and slippers, a fuzzy blanket for the couch, a candle. I could stay here forever!
