		<description>Hmmm,
Seems my post didn't work... Down under refers to Australia. It's position in the southern hemisphere. Something like we say we are THE STATES.

You can look it up at wikipedia for more info

		<description>Lisa:

What do you mean "living down under"?  I've heard of it before but not sure what you're referencing here.

As for not being all "dolled up" b4 going on ooVoo video, don't worry - it isn't a video competition!  LOL

Talk to you soon!</description>

		<description>Stephen,
Yes, I find Aussies pretty fascinating by nature. I gravitate to them and have been fortunate find a very deep connection with another virtual assistant living "down under". Actually she is so inspiring to me, she just won the Janet Jordan Achievement award for 2008 in the virtual assistant arena. (I should post this on your what am I grateful post). Another local here in town moved here from the Brisbane area and we used to do coffee break every morning when I was at the J-O-B! 

It was really nice meeting you on oovoo, I have to remember that I don't always get dolled up before doing a video, I'm so over that! 

Have a grand weekend!

		<description>Joan:

You bring up important points about perception.  Interestingly enough, even when through inaction, we've taken action - to do nothing.  

For instance, suppose you had the option of going to an event but you decided not to and stayed home to watch TV with a bowl of popcorn and a pop.  You're sitting on the couch, the result of not going to the event.  Some people would say that was an act of "inaction."  I disagree.

You've actually taken action - there you are sitting on the couch and building calories.  Your body is taking in popcorn and drinking carbonated soda, the results of which are causing bodily movements.  That's action.  It's not the kind we normally think of but there it is.

Bottom line?  Every thing we do or don't do brings about some kind of activity whether it happens physically or inside our bodies/minds.  Here's something else that takes place....you're watching TV, munching on a snack.  What's happening here?  Your brain is registering whatever your eyes are picking up from the screen.

Interesting, isn't it?  That's food for thought for you!</description>

		<description>Lisa:

I'm so glad you wrote a note to Peter.  As you can see, he enjoyed hearing from you and the others.

BTW, it was great "meeting" you through ooVoo!  I look forward to having a video conference with you at length, perhaps after the holiday weekend is over.  Should be fun!  

Meanwhile, like I've wished the others, you also have a fun-filled holiday weekend.  Feel free to contact me anytime on ooVoo and if I'm around, we'll make time to chat, okay?  :)</description>

		<description>Jennifer:

I know what you mean when you say "it almost makes me want to lose a sense so I can be more in tune."  But like you said, it's better to be grateful for what you have - you can still tune in even with all the faculties you have.  It's just a matter of "listening" to your inner self and trust your instincts.  Easier said than done but not impossible.

Enjoy your holiday weekend!</description>

		<description>Linda:

Welcome!  So glad you came by poking around.  I hope you enjoy what you find.  

There's a butterfly story ("The Tale of the Blue Butterfly that Stopped to Say Hello."  Here's the link to it:  http://tinyurl.com/696eky   It was a surreal experience.  

Although I couldn't exactly get it to land on my hand or knee, it certainly hung around long enough to make its presence known!  

Have a great weekend!</description>

		<description>Stephen -

You said "Actually, this is ironic in some ways. In a way, we need to expect good things to happen to us but we also need to let them go and let them happen naturally. Kind of like a catch 22 situation, wouldn’t you think?"  When I was a kid I was very much aware of this.  I imagined it (good things, things I wanted, etc) as a butterfly.  If I chased it it was always beyond my reach.  If I sat quietly the butterfly could land on my knee.  (Imaging a field of green grass, wildflowers, and trees around the edges is important to the visualization.  :-D )

I just found your blog a couple of days ago (linked from Alexander Kjerulf's blog to his interview).  I've been poking around and am looking forward to reading more.</description>

Well, once again your interview was a smash hit here.  That means your readers love you to death.  They're interested enough to come over here and learn more about what makes you tick.  Way cool, Peter.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend and let's stay in touch.  Be sure to let me know if there's anything else I can do to help you.</description>
