What Would Your Answers Be?

Recently I went to a self discovery workshop with Ananda. I haven’t talked much about Ananda on my blog, but those that have been with me on my blog since its inception know of her and what she means to me. (if you are curious, please read “Learning through Chakra’s” in my highlighted posts on the right)


During this workshop we were asked to fill out a questionnaire. We each had to go to separate places in the room and spend some time completing the questions. We were told to interpret them in any manner and to spend some time thinking about what our truest answers were. After the group was finished answering the questions we all went into a circle and talked about what we had written and why. It wasn’t a judgmental thing. It was 30 people in a room learning from each other and being able to pose their viewpoints without fear of ridicule. We reveled in each others differences and awed ourselves with the ability to see the same things through so many different perspectives. I learned something from every person in the room that day.


It was another wonderful day with my gifted guide, Ananda. I am so grateful that she thinks of me and is willing to offer me the tools necessary to enhance and enrich my life.
