Personal Letter from Deborah
Im seeing a big increase in invitations for people to join together, whether by meditating at the same time (www.firethegrid.com), utilizing the internet, gathering in 3D, or all of the above. It seems that paradoxically, we are creating both more connection and more isolation at this time, as many people are also retreating into their own private sanctuaries. Ive been back in Hawaii for a week now and am feeling more in touch with the land and the plants and the ocean and the fish and the dolphins and the elements and less in touch with schedules, clocks, and plans. I find myself just slipping away at times and dont even know Ive been gone let alone where I went. Sometimes I think maybe Ill write another book and then I remember I dont really want to spend my time marketing books. The unknown looms large these days. I wonder how much longer I will be in Hawaii. Months? Days? Years? Forever? I have no clue.
Yesterday as I swam with the dolphins for what seemed like hours I became very aware that it's extremely rare to see One Dolphin. The dolphins always travel in pods. Usually there are around thirty dolphins including a few babies, although two, three, six, twelve or some other subset may swim in closer formation, playing the "leaf game," making love, dancing and spinning, sometimes chatting. Most likely this is also the natural way for humans but I spend most of my time alone these days. The computer is my main link to the rest of the world. And there is a whole world out there I havent explored yet. 2008 may be my year to travel. Im open to invitations& Are you interested in sponsoring a workshop in your area? Creating an opportunity for some intensive individual work for yourself? Offering me space for a writing retreat? Hosting a visit?
If you havent checked out my websites lately, now is a good time. These monthly newsletters are being posted on my blog, as well as my vision statement for community, Recreating the Village. Just click on http://www.sevenlawsoflove.com/lblog/default.asp and choose the Vision for Community category to read about my latest ideas. There are also categories for Introducing Yourself and The Advice Column. And feel free to suggest additional ones.
I will continue to email the letter as well in this transitional time, but plan to switch to just an email reminding you to click the link to my blog to read the latest letter in the coming months. Im hoping that once you are on the site you may feel moved to post a comment and create a dialogue with me and others on the list. I am also looking into software that will give you the option to post your own profile and give others the option to contact you directly from within my site (which means they will not have your regular email address, only your address within the site if you choose to set up a profile like other social networking sites.) Please let me know if you have any questions about this, and whether it is a feature youd be likely to use as your feedback would really help me decide whether to do this. Also note that the blog has a Calendar feature which will allow you to check for the latest information on Teleseminars and Retreats whenever you wish!
Finally, thanks to Cinnamon Sky, a face lift for www.lovewithoutlimits.com is in the works. You are probably reading this before the new site goes live, but do check back and see the new improved version soon. After a couple of years of transition one piece at a time, a new concept was definitely overdue and this is the first step toward integrating all the different pieces/websites into one whole.
Also, please make a mental note and electronic bookmark my online Store at http://www.sevenlawsoflove.com/store/default.asp where you can buy books, ebooks, and the worlds best coffee as well as registering for events. If you spend time in Hawaii or other tropical places, watch for the new Gardening/Recipe e-books Im working on with Stacy who has catered our Hawaii Retreats for many years. You can now grow and cook the same yummy, healthy food you enjoyed at those retreats! The Store will also be getting a face lift, so do visit the new, more beautiful version soon!
This summer or fall I would love to facilitate your personal retreat at Lokahi Farm if youd like to enjoy a tropical vacation in the Garden of Eden while healing old stuck places alone or with your partner. Or if you prefer to vacation privately, inquire about renting our beautiful, simple home for a week or more in late August or September. I dont know if I will be at Lokahi Farm beyond December of this year, so if youve been putting off a visit, get it on your calendar now! You can reach me at taj@lovewithoutlimits.com or at 415.507.1739.
