Whenever I leave Belle for 10 minutes, for example, to cross the street and put the laundry in the dryer, she’s always ecstatic to see me.
When I returned after 1 day in Vancouver earlier this year, she danced around in circles forever.
But often with longer trips, she’s quite delighted for a moment and then suddenly gets very calm and reflective for about an hour, before returning to her regular, super-enthusiastic self.
It’s not like she’s angry or confused.
It’s more like she just needs time to process.
I feel the same after the Abraham-Hicks Alaska Cruise. In fact, last night I was restless and so decided not to fight it and wrote a lengthy essay contrasting my business mentor David Neagle’s teachings with Abraham –– they are mostly on the same page, with a few interesting differences –– and then getting a little more sleep before waking for my morning yoga client, then a casting session where they want me maybe as a visual artist for this commercial, and then an interview with SELF magazine.
And while I have been getting the major things done, I’m still feeling like I need more time to process all the Transformational work and insights from the Cruise before fully plunging back into ACTION.
And while this is reinforced a bit by the time of year –– it feels like lots of people are simply waiting for September 4th or 5th before they’re back in the thick of it –– it’s mostly that I do need a little “let it all sink in” time.
[One thing that I have no trouble processing, however, is that I LOVE this photo of Belle that Sarah took and texted me while on the cruise…Although this is sorta the look I got on the ride home from the airport.]
