Football (English/Euro) is 1 of my passions. Last World Cup, I got cable just for that spectacular month. General Hospital is the only TV that I ever watch, but for that July, I was glued to the box like any other normal, crazed person! There was an enlightenment course that I wanted to do around that time. I arranged things just right for uninterrupted World Cup! No way was I going anywhere when there were games to be watched! Hell no! 7 months pregnant with my 2nd child, I lived and died for football that month. It really fed my soul. It actually was a great lead-in to my awakening that August on The Avatar Course. I was in heaven. My team, Brazil, won everything! I was ecstatic! I cheered, I danced, I jumped up and down like a crazy person. I sang, I screamed and had a great party through all hours of the night. I was relieved that my country of origin - Jamaica - was not in the World Cup. How could I bear to watch JA play Brazil? Who would I pick to win? Damn. My national anthem and the Reggae Boyz, or my Brazilian men with the exotic, and hypnotizing moves? Thank God I didnt have to choose! Relief... This year, the World Cup finals are the exact same week that I had decided to be in service as an Avatar Master for 1 of our International courses in Florida. Oh my God. I considered not going to the course. So, naturally, 1 of my sisters who has never, ever been interested in self-help, now decides to show an interest in her spiritual awakening! Enlightenment? Not now honey, I have men to watch on TV! Whats the karma for that? Okay, so I will show up. I put my Avatar tools to good use to creatively explore assisting others with their awakening, doing my reading and writing assignments, taping my 2 or 3 games a night, watching every one and still walking up fresh and present for you the next morning! Of course I can have it all! Now Im living! Being fully present in the moment, so alive that my heart is bursting open with excitement, joy and passion. Thats living. Bring it on baby! When you find something you love, go for it, revel in it, soak it up! Enjoy being with it in that moment, for that is all that there is. The moment. |
