****UPDATE on the book giveaway! I just randomly drew a winner for my book giveaway...and I'm excited to say that Ashley is the winner! I will be email you, beautiful Ashley, & will get the book on its way to you very soon! Fun!
So, my beautiful friend, Brooke, and I got together this morning for a little 12/12/12 celebratory chat. We lit a candle, drank good, strong coffee and drew twelve Osho Zen cards (six each), which we waited to turn over until we started recording, at which time we had a little chat about how we could apply each card to the upcoming year. We giggled and had a good time with this. I hope you enjoy. (The sound is a little on the low side so you may want to grab some headphones.)
From left to right, cards read: Top row: Breakthrough, Aloneness, Understanding, We Are the World, Letting Go, Intensity
Bottom row: Friendliness, Flowering, The Fool, Sorrow, Trust, Exhaustion
P.S: At the beginning of our little talk we mentioned a blog post written by our dear friend, Alia Indrawan. Alia talks about how there are some profound shifts occurring on the planet at this time, below are some words from her post...
We’re ready to ignite our deepest creative fires and set the world ablaze with love.
We’re ready to create new ways of living in harmony with one another.
We’re ready to allow the old systems to crumble and make way for something fresh – something never done before.
