"It's amazing how good I feel after a day of health(ier) eating, spending time at the gym, and getting a good night's rest. Why, oh why, oh why-oh do I forget this time and time and time again!? [Note to self: Paste sticky notes all over the house with the word 'remember' on them.]"

Daily Quote: December 28, 2010
"I'm feeling as if several layers of who I thought I was have been ripped off my being in the last few months and now I'm patiently waiting for the freshly exposed stuff to stop hurting. This "process" of invoking self-growth is tough and there are times when I wish I could go back to being the ignorant, blissful being I once thought I was. Nah. Just kidding. My gratitude is too great for me to reverse directions again!."

Daily Quote: December 26, 2010
"I spent most of yesterday (Christmas) clearing my home of clutter in preparation of 2011 -- which I anticipate is going to require me to be more clear-headed, focused, available, and clutter-less. So much change is going on round me and inside of me -- and at such an accelerated rate -- that I'm going to need a safer (and saner) harbor than I had in the wonderful year I call 2010."

"Tis the day before Christmas ... and I am filled to the brim with the most wonderful friends and amazing life. 2010 (so far!) has been rife with so much change and so many good things, some resulting from "bad," that I am the happiest and most grateful guy in my apartment. Oh, I live alone: Oppsie. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE, everybody!!" (Michael Walker)

Daily Quote: December 22, 2010
"The human body is a physical manifestation of the powerful ego and the ego uses the body to distract us from things spiritual. Therefore, when a sense of dis-ease seems to disempower you, take it as an opportunity to step back and witness what is really going on. You may see that beneath the illusion of di-sease, all is well."

Maui Preparation
Have begun the psychic, spiritual, and physical preparations for my exciting upcoming trip to Maui this February. Coincidentally, I manifested a sore throat and achy lungs today and am now nursing myself back to normal health! Laughing out loud!

Maui Madness Contest at fab.com
On November 4, 2010 -- at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time -- I won the Maui Madness Contest at fab.com. I could not have done this without the assistance of all my friend fabbits at fab.com. I am honored and blessed -- Mahalo!
On Deceember 20, 2010, I announced that I'd asked fab.com member and friend Sal Rinaudo to join me -- and he agreed! Wish I could have brought everyone ... but you'll be in my heart totally! (We're looking at going in February, 2011.) Share this post :

Daily Quote: December 18, 2010
"Practice witnessing the Presence. Instead of trying to figure whatever all out, just sink into it deeper. Feel what (feelings) arise. Try not to form a judgment. Just be .... and let it be. Allow each moment of your life to be new. These are the pauses that refresh." (Michael Walker)

Daily Quote: December 15, 2010
"It doesn't so much matter which of the many paths you take as it matters that you know the paths are there and that they can potentially lead to your true Self. It's as simple as following the Yellow Brick Road. And like that road, you never know who you'll meet along the way." -- Michael Walker

Daily Quote: December 11, 2010
"Someone asked me what I'd do with a third hand: While wildly flailing my regular two arms and hands to signify the drama and chaos of life, I would use my third hand to clap one-handed silence. The luxury to be engaged in life while being simultaneously disengaged from all its theatrics and illusion -- now THERE'S a dream devoutly to be wished!" -- Michael Walker

"I'm considering taking some time-off and time-out just to learn how to more simply be human. I mean, being human shouldn't feel so much a challenge as an effortless floating downstream; such a task as a gentle process; such a right as a gift. A learning to let go and remember." -- Michael Walker

Daily Quote: December 9, 2010
"Lately I've been captivated by the so-called `news.' I try not to engage in such frivolousness, but it feels at times like I am fighting demons. Even weather reports seem compelling. How is hearing there's a possible maybe could-be chance of sun or inclement weather helpful? Sigh. Help me sit still and experience the silence that is within -- knowing there is always a 50/50 chance of rain." -- Michael Walker

Daily Quote: December 8, 2010
"Similar to a beginning fiction writer, I know that I only have part of the information about people, places, and things; the universe holds all the rest. And until I hold all the information too, I gratefully acknowledge that my job is to rest and let God/dess do most of the writing. When the time is right, I'll know more and might just be able to finish the job with a human flourish." -- Michael Walker

All of the above and not necessarily in that order.
Eureka and AHA!!

"Fear nothing ... things always get better. And be true to yourself. Nothing is more important than honoring yourself as a person and aspiring to be the best that you can be. Many of us have made this journey of coming out of fear and into our own truth and know that it is the best thing you can do for yourself and for society. To thine own self be true!" -- Michael Walker
