My friend Melanie, and owner of Yogaphoria, in New Hope PA, shared in their latest newsletter some beautiful thoughts that were heartfelt and reflected my own feelings about life right now as we go throught the challenges that are presented to us all sides, accepting what really matters as we go into 2009! I would love to share it with you….

New Year’s Prayer
|
|
As I opened my eyes this New Year’s morning, warm in my bed, peaceful and quiet, the first thing my eyes focused on was a beautiful painting given to me by our beloved Abigail Boehm. It is one she had painted for my birthday. It’s a soft dreamy picture of a star-like figure in subtle tones of blues and golds. In the center of the painting are the words “Absolute attention is prayer.” The words are not bold, no, quite the opposite. They come at your eyes as a whisper would come to your ears. They draw your focus to them in remembrance of the gentle qualities prayer can hold. The painting is kind, soft, and loving, just as Abigail is and it holds the perfect mantra for the year to come.
Later that day, I went to Abigail and Kevin’s house for their traditional New Year’s day pot luck. A group of people had followed her other tradition of jumping into the river earlier that day and everyone came back to her house to get warm and be fed. Of course, I thought about joining in on that polar bear tradition for a moment but wisely changed my mind. As we all sat at Abigail and Kevin’s chatting about the freezing cold river, the delicious food, and the up coming plans for the year ahead, the thought “absolute attention is prayer” kept coming to my mind. There we were, all cozy and warm just being with each other like a modern day Norman Rockwell painting. Paying attention to each other’s thoughts and words and laughter. It’s in those moments you realize, THAT’S IT. That’s all there is…no matter what. Even when the world is going crazy around us…that’s it. Where we choose to place our absolute attention determines our lives. To give absolute attention to the present turns our whole life into a prayer. To bask in the love and friendship of each other is as great a prayer or meditation as any other. Perhaps even better.
What a metaphor that day was. Going from the freezing cold rapid waters of the river to the absolute warmth and attention of each other says it all. If we really stopped to think about it, is there anything more we need? Aren’t all our greatest moments about experiencing the love of each other in the fullest?
The evening came to a close and everyone gathered up their coats and plates and headed back out into the cold…and it was cold! Abigail and I stopped at the door and hugged. She looked at me with those pure blue angel-like eyes and with full attention said “I love you…happy new year.” I said the same in return. As I walked out the door, the wind and cold hit me hard, but I wasn’t sure what made my eyes fill with tears. Was it the cold on my face or the warmth in my heart? Did it matter? I just put all my attention on how wonderful I felt and sent out a prayer that each and everyone of us has a whole year of feeling that blessed.
Much love and many blessings,
Melanie

A true act of heroism.
I am ‘wowed’ by the book I have just put down (I really couldn’t put it down for the 2/3 days it took me to read it!) Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. I am so inspired by the work and bravery of Greg Mortenson and the people he has banded together in the extraordinary effort to promote world peace by bringing education to children in Pakistan and Afghanistan!
As a coach I see how he has had the ability to keep moving forward despite roadblocks and failures ultimately leading to amazing outcomes! I recognise how difficult this must have been particularly when he often faced these challenges alone and in extremely difficult and adverse physical and mental conditions. Greg is a true hero. Anyone who needs inspiration to keep moving forward in what their doing, whatever it is, will find it in this story.
I am uplifted and inspired and not only that, now more educated, as to the cause of terrorism coming from the hotbeds of extremism, poverty, ignorance and lack of education. And that Greg, who tackled this issue from a perspective of peace and intellect, initially alone, has made and continues to make a huge difference to many many impoverished people, as well as contributing to the worlds safety in a way that comes from love and compassion, not hate and retribution. We all have something to learn from him.
I believe he is part of what has become a tipping point worldwide towards hope, love, compassion and collaboration to create the lives, the world and the planet we want.
I implore you to read this book! Not only is it a gripping story of Greg’s experiences but also of his vision of what’s possible, and how one person can make a difference!
Greg, thank you for being the person that you are, and thank you to all that circulate in Greg’s hemisphere for the support and contributions and sacrifices you have made, to make what he has done, possible.
In gratitude and inspiration,
Coach Louise

Hi Everyone,

I am being interviewed so the conversation will be lively! We will be discussing lots of different things that make our lives interesting, and how coaching is part of the quest to finding out what makes us tick and realise our potential! Who knows what the questions will be! I’m hoping a big part of our discussion will also be about setting clear intentions going into the New Year, and how we can make a conscious choice around what is most important to us to help guide us around what we want to focus on going into 2009! I am the KeystoClarity! Coach, so come and learn a little more about me, and what exciting ventures and adventures will be happening next year….next week and how they could involve you, or set you on your own path!

Painting Icing on Christmas Biscuits with Friends.
Our friend Bill whose two boys live in Brazil, normally has them here for Christmas – they have a Christmas tradition that he normally does with them. As they aren’t coming this Christmas we had a surprise invitation to chile and biscuit icing painting last night. Bill and Daniela had it all laid out, had all the biscuits made and the icings colors mixed – ready for us to get down and dirty!
And what a surprise, it was such fun! My inner kid emerged, my creative side emerged, and even my cheeky personality emerged, as we sat painting yummy icing onto the Santas, reindeers, bells and snowflakes, complete with ‘hundreds and thousands’. We all revealed how much fun we were having and that it had been an opportunity for the child in us to emerge. My little girl sure did, and boy was she happy. I realised how neglected she was, and resolved to let her out more often and do more frivolous things! The New Year will bring art classes! I can’t wait.
sweetly yours,
Coach Louise
