5 Acres of Solitude

What else do I know for sure???? Paying attention to advice is advisable. So…….on the advice of Elizabeth Gilbert (author of “Eat, Pray, Love”) I asked myself this morning, “What do I really, really, really (3 reallies are important) want to do today???? Write a blog post was at the top of the list. So here I am.I also know for sure that I cannot call myself a writer (without laughing) unless I write. Daily email messages count. I know that because of the effort it takes and the struggle that goes with it. But email messages are usually short and without much process.  I learned from Eckhart Tolle and Oprah that “How you do what you do is what matters.” And from LaRue Eppler…..”Trust the process.” Once I finally understood what she meant, I quit asking “Which process?” I’m going to stick with the Creative Process and go from there. All I have to do is my best in the moment………..I wonder what that looks like?Love, Lynne 

I just started a new category…….What do I know for sure??? This is Oprah’s latest favorite question. One which she often lets her guests finish answering. Grrrr ……Maybe I should write her again, reminding her of the virtues of being a better listener. She eventually gets around to doing what I suggest to her. Look what she did with Eckhart Tolle? When New Earth came out, I told her she needed him on her show.So What do I know for sure?? Here’s one……..When you need something the universe will send it to you……..whether you asked for it or not.  I must have needed a diversion because that is exactly what I got from the universe this week. A puppy came into my life. Six months old. Adorable. Acts a lot like a 2 year old. And she is a major attention grabber. Forced me to take my attention off myself for sure. I was getting bogged down in the duties of living in an Airtream, building a house, getting my self fed. Then came little QT Pie and my life took a drastic change. What fun. Watching her learn and play is a hoot. Thanks universe.What do you know for sure??Love, Lynne
