Yesterday our raw vegan sushi was off the charts delicious!  I made a cashew and red pepper pâté for the filling and added pea shoots, red pepper, and avocado.  It actually tasted better than cooked rice.  What a nice surprise to find out that what we've been giving up isn't even as good as what we're inviting in.

This prompts me to contemplate what else I may be afraid of giving up?  I think I may reconsider my life in the light of allowing myself to be pleasantly surprised.

Last night I spoke with a friend who is just finishing up a book about Peak Experiences.  It's called "Take It From the Top:  How Peak Experiences Can Enrich Our Lives".  It reminded me of how wonderful it is to be in the zone of doing something we love.  So I allowed myself to stay up into the wee, small hours of the night making a homemade book for my two sweet, little grand-daughters.  Time seemed to fly by as I rode on a magic carpet of allowing.

I didn't have to think "up" any ideas for the book but only "bring them down" into manifestation.  I learned this idea of direction in creativity from Julia Cameron in her book "The Artist's Way."  When we "take it from the top" we can tap into an Infinite Supply of ideas, inspiration, energy and wellbeing.  As another one of my writer friends wrote, "Why Not Do What You Love?"
