Food for Thought

We all know that this blog was created as a class project. I often feel that my education, however, is a personalized growing experience. This is not schoolwork. This is life. SWIHA has presented an opportunity outside of the "normal" college experience. I, after all, am not exactly considered "normal" by any means. I found this school quite "accidentally". The experiences,the chances for personal and professional growth presented to me by this institution have been unyielding!! Attending the online classes has introduced to me amazing new ideas and forums for publishing and sharing my insights and services. The tools are provided to grow and expand...and to present and share the life transforming journey.
I am writing this currently with the intention to share some personal moments outside of the classroom...To say that this entry has no connection with my schoolwork, however, would be a lie in so many ways =) I have been having so many days of connection....true connection....recently....so many moments of deep, yet humorous insight...I felt compelled to share some personal reflections , now, about the journey itself. I shall list these..randomly...as:

You Might Be a SWIHA Student If:

(I am just an odd person....but if you find yourself doing these things...you might attend one of SWIHA's programs)

1. You, after trying to convince your dog that baths are good, realize you MAY have just attempted to use "doggie hypnosis" or "doggie NLP tactics" on your dog!!
   
2. During meditation you become acutely aware of the fact that the full commitment to wanting "balance to your accounts" might be a bit of a task to undertake and that "paying it forward" really IS the only way to live and spread positive energy to heal the planet and it's occupants. After all, we must be healed ourselves physically, and emotionally to be true healers. We will ask our clients to do some tough stuff. It is our turn now.
3. You become aware that everyone at SWIHA has a story of how they got there. (Students and Staff alike.) You feel the unity and spiritual connectedness that is unique and nurturing.
4. You find yourself talking to the air in front of your computer....people around you are no longer baffled by this, and you are comfortable (if not excited) about doing this. Everyone knows the characters in your life...and they somehow become part of the sharing =)
5. GAWD...you just can't seem to get that flaxseed out of your tooth!! Anyone have a toothpick....wait...where's my 3 foot water bottle!!! (hahahahahahaha)
6. As you shop, you can only hope someone asks about one of the many organics you have just gathered....you just found a new product and want to tell everyone about your find....and maybe...just maybe...send someone on a journey of their own.
7. Your partner and friends give you that strange look....the one that says "uhhuh...yeah...what?? awww...your so spEcial" That's ok... you think the same about them...so everyone just laughs.

This is just the beginning. I believe that we are all here to learn and grow and share. I am enjoying these experiences and the chance to share with a whole group of like minded individuals through new avenues......and finding many positive adventures along the way!!
Love and Light,
Kandee
