I’ve just come from being “live” at the
2011-2012 Cleanse with Byron Katie, in Los Angeles,
with a BIG gang of old friends and new friends.
So I’m keeping it short…
First, that last email caused a wild stir of explosive
laughter, anger, and everything in between.
I so appreciate everyone who wrote in!
If you had a strong reaction, I’d love to hear from you.
Now back at my desk and ready to welcome in 2012,
I’m as busy as a long-tailed
cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Busy as a moth in a mitten.
Busy as box of kittens.
And yet, I’m still at peace which is soooo
amazing to me…despite leaving Seattle
at 4 A.M. to come to L.A., and handling
my business and family and the usual things
that pop up just before you leave.
I’m not at peace every second.
But I never would have believed this much peace
was possible a few years back, before I got deep
into The Work and gradually quit trying so hard.
Now I know that REAL busyness is a busy MIND
that’s trying to fix you, defend itself, “win,”
prove it’s right, and control the world.
It’s impossible and exhausting–though the mind
keeps on trying.
So getting “more” done in 2012 can even happen
in the midst of what others would see as chaos…
if the mind is peaceful…like the blue sky and gentle
ocean breeze in the eye of a hurricane.
Or it may be sitting reading the morning
paper (or your browser) with a cup of tea.
How do you KNOW that’s NOT getting
a lot done?
It’s all in the mind.
Much love to you…
And wishing you peace
if your mind starts racing,
Grace

“I have nothing but good to say about your class,
thank you so much. As I told you at the beginning
when I was just thinking about taking the class, I didn’t
even know what the stressful concepts WERE, let alone
questioning them. Your “homework” assigments totally
cleared that up for me. I’m still amazed at how your
questions cut through the illusions and got me to begin
to see what the thinking is that’s causing my suffering.
The journaling was exceptionally helpful. Plus knowing
you’ve been exactly where I’ve been has been very
comforting and powerful.”—B, Midwest US
