I made a list of the things I do.
work/mission/making love - sort of things
The range of things.
Must refer to my notes about this
I don't want to stretch my memory at the end of a long day.

I have had a pasta and red wine
good catch up with Joan
now with wallpaper tv
of the MTV kind and
laptop on my knee
I am blogging for you .......

I have one of those iLap things
it holds the laptop up from my knees
stops the burning
ventilation blogging
and a couple of cushions built in.

The mac has been with me on the tube today
backpack - heavy
but no back pain which is given by a shoulder bag.
It has all my presentations
Keynote - which is a sort of powerpoint
but with legs wings and wheels on.
I sync my iPhone to it
providing it with music, photos, iCal, the diary,
and they all sync through this machine.
.................. get a mac - and fly.......

Have spent most of the day in 1on1
being with humans
talking/listening/coaching/loving
of course.
I believe a recent 'Investors in People' visit
commended the sort of role I play.
1 on 1's with a range of staff,
always confidential, never reporting to Management.
and training - facilitating all sorts.

I always drink in their strengths
and vulnerabilities.
I learn so much - just little things
but lots of them.

Tomorrow I am working at home
then the week-end visit by the Level Five group.
It will be majestic.
Level Five is all about getting undressed
undressing the soul ......

I read about three hours on d tube
Magazines, newspapers, books and
articles ripped from magazines.

I read this today - it fits my work
life, L5 and, I believe, that big journey called faith ........
1. Emotional literacy is love-centred emotional intelligence.
2. Loving (oneself and others) and being loved (by oneself and others) are the essential conditions of emotional literacy.

3. The capacities of loving and accepting love, lost to most people, can be recovered and taught with five precise, simple, transactional exercises.

4. In addition to improving loving skills, emotional literacy training involves three further skills of increasing difficulty; each one is supported by a further set of transactional exercises.

5. These skills are:
a. Speaking about our emotions and what causes them,
b. Developing our empathic intuition capacity, and
c. Apologising for the damage caused by our emotional mistakes.
Practice of these specific transactional exercises in personal relationships at home with friends and at work with others, will, over time, produce increased emotional literacy.
With these exercises you can become a more loving person, a person who feels love toward people and is able to love passionately in a sustained way—a person who is able to be affectionate with friends and friendly with others.

You will be better able to recognise, express, and control your emotions; you will realise when you are angry or joyful, ashamed or hopeful, and you will understand how to make your feelings known in a productive manner.

You will become more empathic and will recognise the emotional states of others and respond to them compassionately.

You will be able to take responsibility for the emotional damage caused by your mistakes and apologise for them effectively. Instead of undermining and defeating you, your emotions will empower you and enrich your life and the lives of those around you.
I think that is good stuff - it stimulates me ......

So - I send you love.
It maybe with a few touches of these keys but

it is the sort of love that wants for you
all that is beautiful
(That means the Rose
AND the Thorns!)

You are beautiful

hope you can believe it - better still - feel it.......
