Project of Possibilities!

I am so excited I just have to start my first post with something I feel very passionate about and that's up for me at the moment. First some background....I have been training in Landmark Education since October 2009. In the course of taking various forms of training in this education my life has transformed! I had constraints on me in many areas of my life. For example, for about 22 of my 22 years of practice I felt an inspiration and passion for educating families about the dangers of vaccinations. I even had a dream with the complete table of contents for a book 22 years ago, then again a dream 5 years ago to go back to school to get a Masters in Public Health and transform public policy and public conversations about vaccines. There was always some reason why I could not fulfill this. These "reasons" were really constraints on me being a self fulfilled, inspired and contributing Human Being. We all have these constraints in one way or another in one area or another in our lives. So after doing the some Landmark work (believe me, I have done all kinds of psychological, spiritual and transformational work along the way) I experienced a distinct moment when it felt like a veil had lifted. I felt free!! I can't tell you what joy that was. At that time in my life, the passion around vaccinations had become more broad. I created the possibility for me to contribute in a way that would be self fulfilling too. I ran for PTA President of my children's elementary school and won 5 to 28! I would have never even been interested in this prior. Also, I would never have had the courage to do this in the past. I always felt that I didn't know enough, would be exposed as stupid, and basically would be found out! Well, I threw caution to the wind because there was no caution, only this drive to be of service in a way that really made a difference. I should add that it's not that what I was out to do was so important but if I'm going to be here on this planet I mine as well take a stand for something that feels worthwhile. I wanted to raise the wellness of this school community on all levels of Being. What has transpired since then is another story....another post! I will get to the current project of possibilities. Above are the possibilities of life.
