I loved all the humor that was in the Taboo course last weekend. We all were looking at our dark, secret, taboo places (places we didn't want other people to see) and there was a lightness in the air. A feeling that, "oh, look at how we are and how funny it is, how it really isn't that big of a deal"... but, it is, ofcourse. We were just all on this edge of humor and we laughed.

I guess what really was great about it was that we were a group of people, just sitting together, in a room, on a Saturday afternoon, talking. The curtains were pulled closed, we all sat in a closed circle, with fluffy pillows around us, food waiting to be eaten outside the room.

I remember Nicole saying when she got back from her vacation, "the next scene is a dress rehearsal for living like Gods." The experience last Saturday was another one of those experiences. How freaking great are our lives to be having a great time and all we have is each other.

Yesterday, I realized how amazing the center is, how amazing what we are doing is, how we are touching and making people's lives better. On a big scale.

It is moments like those that always remind me why I'm here.

The center is going to the next level. Yesterday, it felt like, as a group, we all became more solidly together, creating more of a foundation for the center to go to the next level. I can feel it building. I started imagining the center being very busy and how that would feel.

Thank you, Nicole, for pushing me more in the direction of friendship. I feel myself being nurtured more and more by the people around me, by my family. I'm loving each one of you more and more. I'm feeling fulfilled and filled up more and more in ways I didn't think were possible before. I'm expanding, growing, becoming more free and happy.

Thank you all.
