Unfolding

A friend of mine, Becky Munsterer, recently got some press on her new blog where each day she writes a new page contributing to an ever evolving story. The article explains that it's like taking old school soaps and putting a new age twist on it by delivering a daily fix by blog form. I love the idea and that it's getting attention. And in light an interesting turn of events, it made me feel guilty for not doing the exact same thing.

Since my last post about my own happiness project, incredible things started to happen.

The first thing was love.
The second thing was freedom.
The third thing was enablement.

In the last two months I skied Vail and Beaver Creek repeatedly, took a trip to Jackson Hole and Telluride, spent 10 days in Florida with my family, and moved from my beloved Denver back to Boston.

The adventures were both spectacular and enlightening. Being outdoors and harnessing its awe made my heart overwhelmingly happy and grateful. With those great feelings I found myself projecting my love and happiness onto other things.

I also found my own joy magnified in those around me.

In other words, as my happiness increased - the happiness of those around me also increased. The more I smiled at the person across from me, the more he smiled back at me. The more positive I became, the more positive he became.

Events began to unfold in the most unusual way. It was as if my "I wish" thoughts sprung to life. When I pondered how I could be back in Boston this upcoming year to be with my love, a change in work gave me the freedom to move back. With that freedom I was able to spend each day in the way that I wanted - playing outdoors and taking Zion on great adventures. The happier I became, the happier those around me became.

The amalgamation of these occurrences has been magnificent, inspired from within and yet potentially greater than me.

Seven months ago, I posted the following statement on Facebook:

Just got to believe that every move I make has a role to play, and every decision I regret had a purpose, and one day all of those steps will come together in a way that creates something glorious.

Things are unfolding in a wonderful way and I do not doubt that each one of my experiences, each accomplishment and misstep have led me to where I am today. And it's a good place to be.

As they say in yoga class... where you are is where you are meant to be.
