I belong to a FaceBook group called Heal Your Life. This was a message sent out today. Nothing could be more perfect. I thank my dear friend Sandra for reminding me of what is true.
THE DUCK WITH THE HUMAN MIND
In The Power Of Now, I mentioned my observation that after two ducks get into a fight, which never last long, they will separate then float off in opposite corrections. Then each will flap its wings vigorously a few times, thus releasing the surplus energy that built up during the fight. After they flap their wings, they float on peacefully, as if nothing had ever happened.
If the duck had a human mind, it would keep the fight alive by thinking, by story-making. This would probably be the duck’s story: “I don’t believe what he just did. He came to within 5 inches of me. He thinks he owns this pond. He has no consideration for my private space. I’ll never trust him again. He’ll try something else just to annoy me. I’m sure he’s plotting something already. But I’m not going to stand for this. I’ll teach him a lesson he won’t ever forget.” And on and on, the mind spins its tales still thinking and talking about it days, months, or even years later…
… We are a species that has lost its way. Everything natural, every flower, every tree, and every animal have important lessons to teach us if we would only stop, look, and listen. Our duck’s lesson is this: flap your wings — which translates as “let go of the story” — and return to the only place of power: the present moment.

Wanna know why I nominated Erica O’Grady for The Statesman Texas Social Media Awards
She rocks. Specifically, Erica lifts everyone up. She wants the best for everyone and has endless energy for those she loves. She is a total Social Media Maven. She must be because she has taught me almost everything I know on the subject and I rock too. And because of her totally effective teachings I ended up on ABC World News Tonight. How bout them apples?

Dear Ethel,
Wait am I Lucy and you’re Ethel or am I Ethel and you’re Lucy?
Well today I want to be Lucy ok? Ok. Thanks.
I am sure this picture makes no sense to most of you and yet it is indicative the JJ & Tracey show. Pull up to the Chocolate Bar and get immediately trapped in the car in the torrential rain. Yep that was us. We could SEE the Chocolate and yet, we could not HAVE the chocolate. Rest assured we prevailed and got ourselves happily trapped INSIDE the Chocolate Bar for about an hour. Not a bad place to work, BTW.
So to my beloved sister, best-friend, Auntie to my boys, shoulder, sounding board, and now former business partner…As this chapter now comes to a close, I am of course sad to see you go. Simultaneously, I eagerly look forward to sharing whatever joyful adventure is coming next for both of us. You as you journey into things gentle, creative, mission focused, and easy. Me as I continue to grow True Light Resources.
I am filled with gratitude, love, admiration and profound respect. Thank you for laying the foundation of True Light Resources with me.
My wish for us both is Peace, Love, Light, & Joyful Abundance.
I love you!
Tracey
