Yes, I'm one of those people touched by Eckhart Tolle's message. I haven't read the book but we got both his videos and have been playing them frequently.
Lately I've been sleeping all morning then staying up all night. I haven't done this in years, and I kind of like it. I have a lot of things to do at night. I'm doing a lot of writing, and I also make time to clean the house in the middle of the night. I like that there's nobody else awake. Of course it makes it inconvenient to go to morning appointments, but usually it is just fine. You see how much I'm enjoying life without that job I lost in September? Now I get to do what I want to do. What a concept!
Yesterday I worked on a Squidoo lens about
emergency disaster survival. I actually made this page a while back, but I revised it quite a lot. I was thinking about the people in Southern California, in Sylmar and Santa Barbara... earlier this month there was a huge firestorm and hundreds of families lost their homes. Many of them were forced to leave with only five minutes notice - not enough time to make decisions on what to take and what not to take. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
This is something that I started thinking a lot about after a forest fire threatened my home in the summer of 2007. It was hard to organize and pack things, and try to find storage for valuables. I learned a lesson and made that web page so others might take heed and not get caught at the last minute without provisions and a plan.
Fortunately during winter we don't have to worry about forest fires around here. I love the rainy days, and will love the first snow but won't like it much if it gets deep and stays on for days at a time again this year.
