Byron Katie has a funny thing she does when talking about the way people thank others. People say “thank you” to her. People say “thank you” to their families, or friends, or neighbors. Katie asks with a tone of laughter…. ….”Have you thanked you?” When you really think about it, this is the sweetest thing….
When you’re about to gather with other people for a meal…. ….let’s say Thanksgiving, as a random example…. ….before the event actually happens what do you notice in that head of yours, as you feel some anxiety, worry, sadness, wonder, confusion?

Because I suffered so much when I did stuff like smoke, overeat, drink, think, seek, grab. It’s not news to me that sometimes I’ve…
Wow, another meetup! Saturday, November 21st 2-4 pm in Seattle at Goldilocks Cottage. Good time of year to do The Work even more, right?
