It's Spring and Snowing

Goldilocks: Goldilocks, calling Cate. Come in, please, over.

Cate: Goldilocks, is that really you?

Goldilocks: Yeah, I think so. Getting spare radio parts isn't what it used to be. I was beginning to think, I'd have to go to a museum or antique shop. Sheesh.

Cate: I'm so glad you're back.

Goldilocks: The feeling is mutual. So, what's the news. The world didn't end while I was gone did it?

Cate: Not exactly, but I could've used your support.

Goldilocks: But since you're talking to me, I'm assuming you survived.

Cate: I was in the doldrums last week, really struggling.

Goldilocks: About what?

Cate: Trying to figure out how I was going to get 30 people or more to the Abundance Course that is coming up in two weeks.

Goldilocks: Oh, I see, in the throes of the enemy again.

Cate: Big time. I was wallowing in it until the Release teleconference with Pat and Lynn on Thursday. And then the smoke cleared and I realized, yet again, how the ego had deceived and tricked me. Ooh, I hate it for doing that.

Goldilocks: huh huh, "hate" is a negative word. You're feeding it every time you dislike or "hate" its wiley ways. Try loving it. That's how to undo it.

Cate: (with exasperation) I know that, why is it that I can't remember it when the Enemy attacks.

Goldilocks: psychological warefare.

Cate: That must be what's happening today. It's April, Spring and it's snowing.

Goldilocks: I thought you liked snow.

Cate: I do when it accumulates and I can go tubing, but I've given up for this season. The magnolias and daffodils are in bloom, and the grass is turning an emerald green. It's time to haul out the lawn mower and say goodbye to the flannel and fleece.

Goldilocks: Anything else to report?

Cate: Oh, yes, our company is having a rebid this month and I am getting a shift with an hour's lunch. Yes! Yes! I am going to feel like an executive after 19 years in this hell hole. I can take my time, release on my goals, make phone calls. This is going to be so cool.

Goldilocks: great, Cate, sounds like your world is becoming more effortless all the time.

Cate: Oh, it is, it most definitely is.
