I started listening to the Audio Book version of "The Power Of Now" this weekend on a long car ride.  I got through the first half of the CDs.  So far this books really seems to have touched my heart in some way and hence I've added it to my list of favorite books without having finished it. 

I'm trying very hard over this weekend to be much more "present" and to live in the moment.  This is something that my mother has talked to me about in the past but it hadn't really hit me in quite as powerful a way until listening to this book.

I'm still wondering if it can help me to figure out if/when I should set aside time to think about some of the things that I had previously been considering changing in my life.  Perhaps as a read/listen more I'll understand more about Eckhart's approach.

Do you ever get the feeling that you want to sit down and write something but just can't figure out why or what?  I get this feeling quite a bit actually.  So I guess I'll just ramble some more :)

I have to admit that I am in Love with Zaadz.  I've met so many cool people here that I spend quite a bit of time reading what others are writing and getting to know some of my new friends.  I must also admit however that I know I have a rather addictive personality.  I get attached to people and even activities rather quickly and put quite a bit of energy into them at first.  I then tend to start to fizzle out a bit.

A smart man once said to me "Shooting stars burn out fast".  And that kind of sums me up.  I've been on a roller coaster of emotion spending equal amounts of time trying to deny this part of me and trying to embellish and enjoy it.  Right now I'm trying hard to be myself and not try too hard to change myself.  I guess we'll see how successful I am.

As usual I look back on what I've just written and see that I wrote "I" quite a bit.  I spend too much time thinking about myself and not about others.  I want to change that, and hope that Zaadz can help me there.  I'd like to find a way I can use my unique talents to help others but as of yet haven't done a very good job of it.

Anyone know of an opportunity for me to help others (perhaps something I can do from home, on-line)?  Let me know.
