Welcome to the New Evolution Ezine Part 2… When Chaos Strikes….
시련이 없는 인생, 장애물이 없는 삶, 도전과 장애가 없는 인간은 생존에서 잠들 수 밖에 없다. 새벽에 아침 이른 시간에 이불ㅇㄹ 걷어차고 침대 밖으로 나올수 없다면 '나'너그대 우리 역시도 시련을 무서워하고 장애를드ㅜ려워하는 소극적인생 수동적삶에 짖눌려있는 상태가 아닐까요
So after months of discussion and planning and hours and hours of work we took the giant leap and launched the new look for the Evolution Ezine…
and within moments the site went down.
and it stayed down for most of the day.
Most may ask “Why Me? Why Us? Why Now?”
But I didn’t, we didn’t…
A few days ago I was watching Eckhart Tolle TV and someone asked a question concerning fate and why bad things happen and Eckhart’s answer was what came into my consciousness as I waited on hold with the company that hosts our site. In essence what he said was that without challenges human beings, as a race, would go to sleep. It is in the moments of contrast and challenge, when we remember to remain conscious, that we, more and more, awaken to the essence of who we are.
With that memory I smiled and relaxed into the moment. I took the time of “waiting” for resolution and watched my breath and felt my toes on the ground, and marveled at the blessing of being able to bring myself into the present moment.
And I realized, also, that the experience would give me the opportunity to…
a) State again, for the record, that we love being able to introduce the new look – and its enhanced flexibility (have you checked us out on your smartphone yet?)
b) Be able to say “Thank You” again to both Gia and Linda Lou who absolutely stepped up – calmly and professionally – and continue to get the job done
c) Be able to share this teaching from Eckhart Tolle that we were able to so beautifully bring into our life experience. “Stuff happens”, everyday, and it is up to us to choose how we are going to respond to it. It wasn’t that many years ago that an experience like we had last Thursday would have had me “seeing red”, yelling and carrying on and pretty much “why me-ing” me all over the place. I got to say – breathing into the moment and finding the smile and the blessing is so much more fun.
Which has me thinking…
Why not use this Evolution Ezine launch experience to challenge each and every one of you to look for ways to bring a smile and presence into the next situation that normally creates some level of stress in your system?
and then to come back and tell us about it. Who knows, this one, seemingly “bad launch experience” may be the stepping off point into our awakening.
How cool would that be?
Loving Life and Having you in it
