Do you want fries with that?

August 1st, 2007 Lori Taylor

Unfortunately I rarely say no.  On Monday’s call Sarrano talked about all the great things he could tell us, but the truth of the matter to him was in the weak areas of his game.  And I have to say I feel the same way.  In fact, I catch myself almost excusing my poor health game because I am kicking it in all the other areas.  (Nice how my mind can be my friend too…telling me how fab I am so I’ll feed it fries, pizza and icecream.)  Anyway, I must get to the bottom of why I am having a problem committing to my health game.  Today I ate a filet of fish, small fries, gum, nuts, 3 pieces of pizza hut veggie pizza, 2 glasses of red wine, small chocolate dipped ice cream cone….  So basically none of that is a problem unless you’ve made a commitment to yourself otherwise.  I’m cheating at solitaire at this point.  SO I am going to rely on my non-loser teammates to butt spank me until I regain my focus and drive in this very important area of my game.  I mean the camera adds 10 lbs–what will Oprah think??? The shoes can only carry you so far if you know what I mean….However I did rise to a challenge today.  And it was a true gift to my soul. I hate hospitals.  Sick kids sadden me.  Sick kids scare me.  It is like being around my biggest fear…I can feel so deeply in me what pain I would feel if my kids were terminally ill.  And it terrifies me.  So last week when a friend of mine asked me to contact her friend of a friend because her 21 month old child was starting chemo, I immediately said yes.  But today, all day, I dreaded that hospital.  And it didn’t feel any better when I got there.  Then I saw Roman.  With his shaved head.  Dark circles under his eyes.  My heart opened and the divine flowed through me.  I was a perfect stranger to him.  He was sick.  But he didn’t move a muscle as I put my hands on his head.  And the second deeksha I gave him relaxed him even more.  It was an amazing experience.  And I can only pray that the blessing I gave him will allow the divine to flow through him and heal him.  There are so many miracles happening throughout the deeksha community.  Let’s all pray that Roman is one of them, too.  So yeah, in the scheme of things the ice cream and fast food buffet wasn’t the worst thing…but then again I keep telling myself that.
