@George Kao So . . now that I am moving through this at my own pace—pausing, re-watching sections, taking all the time i need with the writing parts—it's going great. I have somehow avoided doing this process in an organized way (and then I'd add another layer of learning to make it even harder to do) and so am very grateful you offered this. Thank you! 

My intention this week is to 

• organize for a class I'm teaching next week on restorative practices for low back pain
• Reach out to one connection for speaking engagement
• Make a hat list for tidying my closet

@Ericka O'Cain 

@George Kao I'm very inspired and curious about your moving process. Shedding most of your belongings. Have you made any videos, or is it in a course somewhere where you've talked about that? And . .  many congratulations! 

Last week . .well . . As I thaw out of  my lifetime functional freeze (a poly-vagal term) over the last few years, I'm now experimenting what it feels like just to "live" rather than "strive."  I've chosen an income number that I'm comfortable with, accepted that my style of practice is mostly local and personal (individual clients, speaking to live groups and an occasional online class) and then allowing my time to unfold. That's just me, but it's a lovely process. 

Popping in here because I made two huge moves forward today!

I taught a live class to public school teachers today. That was huge in itself, getting into a public school system AND being paid for it! 

It came about because of a collaboration with an Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist who came t my house to attend a talk. You wouldn't normally put me and collaboration in the same sentence! 

How did it go? Well, imperfectly but not terribly. I didn't know the space or the people attending (more than 40) and so had to re-think it all at the very last second. 

I guess that's the living and growing part. It would not have mattered how long I sat in my perfectionism to prepare (which I did!), there were bumps and funny moments. Hopefully they got a new POV and new ways of thinking about mental health (somatically). 

Anyway, I'm sitting here with a delicious Manhattan Cocktail (on a Monday night, no less)  and will reconnect with my partners tomorrow to keep moving forward. 

Sending love to all in our ABC community! 

HI Eric,

I enjoyed the session last week and look forward to joining again in the future. Thanks for making the space available. 

Hi Shay, 

I'll be on the road this Friday, but would love to join in the future if you'll be sharing your workspace! 

Hi again. Well, after the boosted event just continued to sit there (after being approved three times) I finally just made a post, linking to the event on my website, boosted that and now it's running fine. I'm working on Thursday during the call so won't be able to figure that out with you live. I still wonder what went wrong with that. It would be good to know . . some setting I'm not aware of. Tx! 

Thank you! It was approved three times! And I changed my budget, changed the audience . . according to help centers that I read. Thank you for your reply. Not sure what to make of it . . . I thought I was a pro at boosting ads on FB!
