facing fear and (sort of) doing it anyway

Mountains of vibes sent, Hopsie, I am rooting for you and keeping everything crossed that things start to fall into place for you now :) xx

sKePTiKal:
Is this fancy doc attractive and single???????   8)   Could be more fun than you anticipate; you never know!

Sorry, I've been playing matchmaker a lot for everyone EXCEPT me. I dunno where that comes from, just that I can imagine the interesting ways people can interact and work together leading to something.... more committed. (You would be right suspecting there's subliminal aspect to this; ain't got time for that right now in my life.)

I'm noticing something else in my own process that you might think about too; maybe it could work the same way for you? Anyhoo, when I start to wind myself up too tight about how in the world I'm going to get anything done by myself, or if this thing will happen when it needs to... or if I can even remember everything I have going on all at once... I just ask for a little help from the universe and trust that it will be OK. And then, I can finally relax and take of myself before I become roadkill from the exhaustion. I refuse to ask which one of these is actually "at work" in what turns out to be JUST FINE in the end. I don't need to know.  ;)

Hopalong:
Thanks for the reminder to let go and ask for help from the universe, PR, I have found that when I am sane enough to allow that simplicity into my mind, it DOES help. It releases something, helps me ease back into my body and ... for a little while at least ... focus in the present. I desperately need to do more of that, more often. (And, like you, not to worry about the source. I wrote a "sermon" years ago about realizing that what I really want is not to have faith, but to "do" faith. Once I switched from the passive "having" to the active choice of "doing", faith made more sense to me. Though I don't think that train of thought could be considered religious, it was just about embracing the act of trusting. I had spent so many years fixated on what the OBJECT of trust would be, that I had forgotten about the verb. The experience of it.

Thanks for reminding me about that. It really was a key moment in defining my own spirituality, and I've drifted far far off in the last scary year.

Dunno if eye-doc is single but alas, I'll be interviewing him by phone, not in person. If it happens. Good idea though--I should go appeal to the vanity of rich docs and offer to write them all books to keep in their waiting rooms and pass out at their country clubs!

Hops

sKePTiKal:
Well, why NOT?

They are absolutely "stuck" (and full of their special knowledge) so they need help too. Putting it into written words.

Hops: ministering to the verbally constipated "experts" of the world, by coaxing the words out onto paper. That's one way to make sure knowledge continues on and isn't "lost" to the future. Organizing all those words into composted form, to create intellectually nutritious tomes of brain-expansion for others.

 :lol:

I'm only being half silly, here. And it's even a good opportunity to subtly introduce your green ideas, to them, too. Like Johnny Appleseed... and maybe the medical profession can become a little more open to the idea of "healing" the "whole person" instead of simply doing medical magic tricks with science. The concept transfers and applies across disciplines, to my way of thinking... and has been mainstreamed in a lot of other areas of life.

After all, (maybe it's just me), but I think children of N's find some soul redemption in service to others.

Hops:

Maybe your career path is to write for "the verbally constipated."

Maybe that's the future?

You're very talented. 

The vc have needs.
