If I had flower for every time I thought if you, I could walk in my garden forever. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson.
I have been thinking of you more than you know.
It’s been a multi-layered period of inner shifts and turnings on the way to some central truth. Sometimes there’s been nothing I could put together in words. Other times, like now, there’s almost too much to say.
I have to admit that it worries me to go so long without being in touch. The internet is full of people who show up every single day on their blogs, in their products and programs or on guest posts and interviews all over the web.
The more I tune in to what I need to best be in service, the more clearly my inner voice directs me to spend more time creating and less time engaging right now.
It scares me though. I’m afraid you’ll forget me. I’m afraid when I finally bring something forward you won’t know who I am. Or worse, you won’t care.
The grounded and wise-in-so-many-ways Pam Slim has assured me you will still be here. You will understand. She says our connection doesn’t depend on me frantically trying to be everywhere (while ultimately serving no one.)
I’ve decided to trust her. More than that, I’ve decided to trust YOU.
For some of you, this is the first you’ve seen the Luminous Heart redesign. There was more in the background waiting to be revealed.
On Valentines Day my heart and my clarity around my work stepped up 10,000 notches. The change I’m making doesn’t fit in the space of the Luminous Heart web site. A new site (carrying over the new design) is in the works nearing completion. I will, with my heart in my throat and my hopes flung wide open, let you know when it is launched.
Yesterday I pulled a sheet of ice from the garden bed. I know it’s far too early to plant but I feel the promise ahead and it thrills me. Things are like that now for me. There’s something stirring, that almost wants to explode into life. But it needs a little more time before I share.
I think, to many of you, the change will be indistinguishable. It’s quite possible you’ve been waiting for me to get clear and get creating.

On a side note, I want to let you know about a program that might interest to you. Profitable Idealism by Pace Smith and Johnny B. Truant is exactly what it sounds like — the ability to stay true to your idealistic heart and run a profitable business at the same time. I’m honored more than a little awestruck to be a contributor to the program.
If you’ve felt the challenge of being both idealistic and profitable, check this out before Tuesday midnight and save $200. (Affiliate link) You also have a very good chance of winning one of 114 compelling bonuses.

In the e-book I wrote for Profitable Idealism, I talk about playing with concrete numbers instead of simply having a formless vision. The day after I delivered the e-book, one number I had been playing with increased exponentially. Little did I guess taking my own advice would lead to such a monumental leap of my own.
You’ll have to wait to see the new site to know what I’m talking about. But here’s a hint: “my work stepped up 10,000 notches.”
welcome back! I will always be here.

I will be here too Mahala :) Beautiful to see you back here, and the perfect words for me today, of course x

Thank you, Lindsay. If they’re perfect words for you today, I’m happy. What makes them resonate?

You are un-forgettable, Mahala.
The thing is, you make so much of an impression –kind of like one of those memory mattresses :))– that I feel your presence regardless of your being everywhere on the net. What’s more, the little distance makes me miss you.
Excited about the new sprouts in your ‘garden’! Thank you for tending them lovingly in their time. Inspired. x

Oh I adore the thought of being like a memory mattress! Soft embrace, fitted especially to you. Always.

I am looking forward to getting to know you!I had just found you, when you disappeared,but sometimes, just like our gardens,we have a still time, so that we can rejuvenate and start anew in the spring!
I’m so grateful you held onto the connection even though I disappeared. I look forward to getting to know you better too, Carolyn.

I have the same worry when I go a long time between postings. But I think we all understand that life, the work of life and the work of spirit, can have us occupied. I’m here, listening for you and with you.

Oh dear, be careful darling. I’m afraid you could hyperventilate. xxx

The world needs you. My world certainly does! : )
Love!
Elana! Thank you dearheart. I look at that photo of you and think, “She who can lift the world.”

I certainly haven’t forgotten! And I know that need to incubate, being in that space myself right now. Can’t wait to see what emerges from your process!

May you have a lovely incubation :) Looking forward to what emerges for you, too.

Oh Mahala, Hello Hello Hello…. I’m sososo HAPPY to see you again. Now I don’t have to write that email I planned over the weekend, begging you to please offer another course. The teachings from Sacred Self Care still resonate in my life like deep waves of a gong.
“There’s something stirring, that almost wants to explode into life. ” …I answer, “Explode Away, woman!”
The hard part of taking time to turn inward, I find, is not feeling guilty about doing it (neglecting the outward forms of production) AND the fear that this delightful self-reflective/creative time will pass…

Hey my dear, I’m glad I’ve saved you the email. It’s good to know, too, I can’t disappear forever without you pulling me back.
“Explode Away!” Hmm. I’m trying to be careful not to spontaneously combust here. But thank you so much for you enthusiasm. It means more to me than you can imagine.

Dear Mahala,
I am glad to hear from you.
I feel very happy to receive you mail.
I was not seeing my mails so often.
Thanks for turnings,layers and leaps.
It let us think.
Have a nice day with love from Virginia.
Hello dear Virginia,
It’s always good to hear from you. I hope life is happy and you are not working too hard. Thank you for always sending kindness. ~ Mahala

Ahh, I have been hoping you would appear again. My patience has been rewarded …
Twitter: carollneilson
Hooray! I’ve been thinking about you lately, wondering how your retreat went,how your journey in this new year is going. Have barely dipped my toes in the twit-stream lately & feel so out-of-touch…I’m deeply grateful to hear from you and I can’t wait to see what you’re bringing forth.
love,
Ann

mahala…lovely to see this new work thus far…and to hear from you.
create away my friend!
It’s so great to hear from you again! I’ll never forget you – no way! I figured there was probably some kind of process going on that required you to be away from the blog for a while. It’s totally exciting to hear about this giant leap you’ve made, and I’m looking forward to seeing/hearing more! Yay!
