I told her SoulWomb.com was available but for some weird reason she didn’t pick it up. Go figure.

Oh, right. The name.

Sonia weaseled it out of me, sneaky little thing that she is (I love Sonia) by suggesting that it was actually called Soul Womb which was so funny that I spit water all over myself.

It was Conscious Transformation. I know. I know. I don’t want to talk about it.

Anyway, the people who have the site now are not the ones who had it then, so it’s not even relevant. And I love The Fluent Self and losing the old name was so the best roadblock ever. :)

Wow.

Wow, wow, wow.

I am so blown away by everything you guys wrote here. It was hard for me to put up, and mostly hard for me to talk about my system and how it came to me … and I so appreciate all the warm words and good thoughts from all of you.

And loved that you found little bits of helpfulness in it. Because that makes it totally, totally worth it, and now I’m glad that I didn’t back away from the hard this time.

Thank you.

Still processing.

Havi, I’ve printed out that quote and taped it to my monitor. Thanks for publishing this. You’re awesome. :)

Also, I can completely relate to the finger hovering over “Publish”… though I actually quite enjoy telling stories with a personal side on my blog, I get a flutter in my stomach before publishing, not to mention the post-publishing feeling of “Good grief, was that a really dumb move?”

All that to say, I’m very happy you pressed that button!

Great story! It’s fun to hear about a slice of your past, though it’d be even more fun if you divulged the most perfect name in the history of stuff being named…!

And if I ever go looking for my heart’s desire, I’ll never go any further than my own back yard… Dorothy has got her unconscious metaphors DOWN. Thank you so much for posting this, hovering uncertainty or no! And: “Everything that is against me is an illusion.” When I read that, the universe sat up and took notice of me. And I said, yeah, dude. Yeah.

What a great freaking story.

Loved reading about all of this. Especially, how when you were open to it, it all came to you. (The entire Fluent Self system in a series of meditations! Wow. In awe.) And realizing that the being open to it, the asking and probably more importantly, the listening, and maybe most importantly the acting on the stuff, are what separates you from the hacks with a six million alexa ranking.

Thanks for writing something that made you hesitate and for pushing the button anyway.

I typed your web address by hand, just now, and wondered to myself, “I wonder where she came up with the name.” Then checked the blog. Eerie.

Awesome tale - skillfully told, as usual. Missing you at Spa Day today. :)
