I've just discovered your blog as well and admired this post. It was shocking to me when I realised how judgemental I was - much worse than you, I suspect. I seemed to be polarized at times - complete openness to quick judgement - but now I seem to be finding some balance.

I've bookmarked your blog and will go read some more. Was interested to find that you have spent some time in Australia. Australian women are difficult to find in the blogging world. At least those who share in this way.

Many blessings.

Loved your post, Marian - so honest, so human.

I just found your blog and am so excited. My husband is very big on the "simplify" philosophy. I am a big nature lover, but also find it difficult at times to give up some luxuries like my car.

I love your post about not preaching, but taking a gentle approach.

I live in Las Vegas, it's hot and almost impossible to grow a garden. I try. I get basil and sometimes tomatoes and zuccinni. We have moved to a much smaller house, are a one car family and hope to retire in a small town where everything is in walking distance.

I love that with the exception of my kids and grandkids that I know I would leave behind. I know that would be the most difficult thing for me of all.

Thank you for a wonderful blog, I will look very forward to visiting your blog on a regular basis.

Peace and Love.

Your post touched my heart.

You are right of course, Sara. It's exactly what I tell other people, but I have trouble remembering it myself sometimes!

I've just finished A New Earth by Eckhardt Tolle. I love that he says our inner selves( and the ability to become conscious) are every bit as important in changing the world as those who are actively/outwardly working to make changes to save the planet. We need both types. Our ability to live consciously affects others, facilitating the shift that will be required to save us.
Don't despair!

Yes, Tess. Spot on!!
A definite descent to at least Level Four, I'm afraid.

Oh, my dear Marian. The down side of your Enneagram One space has been making itself felt, methinks...
You're right, of course, gentleness is the answer. And it's a bit like non-violence - even if the end result is the same, the journey was the right one.
Good luck climbing those stairs!
