Greetings readers, though few and far between you may be. I have not been the most productive web weaver of late, and so my site and blog are way behind. Now that my head is a little clearer I may be ready to write with heart and mind open again.The past year was a big eye opener to say the least, and hence the new name of my Blog "The Transformation Tour". Let's sum it up nicely, shall we? Lets' see --
- May 9, 2003, Heidi and Andy Find out they are pregnant (yippee!)
- May15 -- Lunar Eclipse, Andy begins major psychotic episode lasting 4 weeks
- June 15 -- Heidi moves, wedding cancelled
- July 15 -- Heidi moves again to St. Louis, Andy returns from hospital and goes to Ohio
- August 15 -- Heidi moves to Delaware, OH
- November -- Andy moves to Delaware, finally taken off anti-psychotic medications
- Jan 16, 2004 -- Heidi and Andy move again to 615 Magnolia, Heidi's water breaks at 1 a.m.
- Jan 18 -- 40 hours of labor later, Luka is born by cesarean section
Well, that ends the trauma and drama section of our tour, though recovering from the c-section was no box of chocolates. I would say Andy is just now getting his wits back into focus after quite a rough year -- but I guess we can pat ourselves on the back for not giving up. He is officially moving back in with us in September of this year. (After moving back to Wisconsin for treatment and respite in April). Oh my, did we make it?
Okay, okay, I know many of you may have referred to me as a drama queen one or two times in the past, but I think the drama is over for a while at least. I am practicing each day with my new teacher, Luka Job, and some of the things I am working on are:
- peace
- being in the present
- recognizing and putting to rest the ego
- awareness
- some asana (still have a lot of weight to lose, so the old faves aren't so fave anymore -- for now!)
- NOW
- breathing, walking meditation
Now I have to get back to the creative. I will be working on this now that Luka is a little more manageable. Till next time -- Love, peace, and awareness. Heidi
