Unplugged, but reconnecting

We have turned out lights out for Earth Hour, though we are still blogging and cruising the internet on our battery powered laptops. Is that wrong?

I was starting to feel lately that things are settling down a bit. I am feeling more energized about freelancing again, and a few jobs may be coming my way.

Connections are more and more important and lately my energy has been focused on connecting, or reconnecting. I think I have been feeling cut off and exhausted for too long.

Monday Morning

Just was thinking about how much we each can influence our personal lives by our attitude and what we decide each day. It reminded me of Don Miguel Ruiz and his philosophy:
"Everything we do is based on agreements we have made - agreements with ourselves, with other people, with God, with life. But the most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves. In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is possible, what is impossible. One single agreement is not such a problem, but we have many agreements that come from fear, deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth. When we are ready to change these agreements, there are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements that we can adopt as guiding principles. The Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love."
