May 14th, 2010:  The Abrahamsters

I fantasized about living a peaceful contemplative life of a monk in the not too distant past.  Then when my working world came to an end I longed for community, my community.  I really didn’t have another.  Small family.  No church.  No interest groups.  Estranged neighborhood.  The closest thing I’ve had to a community are the cruises I go on with the “Abrahamsters.”  (Friends of Abraham-see side panel.)

So, when I got a message that there was a Law of Attraction group in Waukesha, about 30 minutes from downtown Milwaukee, I signed on.  Tonight was my first night.  I just got home.  All I can say is I have found my people…or at least some of them.  I felt easy connection and great conversation and wonderful energy.  We meet twice a month, there are as many as 80 members and they have been a group for three years!

It was nice to go somewhere where you are reasonable assured that you will be taken in and welcomed.  I was a bit afraid to make the plunge, it disrupts my tranquil evening routine, but I knew this was important and I was ready.  For sure 6 months ago, disrupting a routine was not something I wanted to screw with…repercussions.  But now it’s time to get out there.

I feel a new energy, new interests and just things percolating on different levels.  I must remain true to my promise to myself…that whatever I do I will be inspired from the inside and not motivated from the outside.  I have vowed to live an authentic life, my own life and it may not look like any one else”s but that’s okay.  It’s mine.

So, tomorrow is Saturday and if all goes according to plan I will be going to my first bike, as in motorcycle, show of the season.  I love to bike in and be a part of the loud roar of the parking bikes and roam around looking at the bikes being shown.  There is a band, a loud band, and and lots of beer and bar-b-que.  I cannot see how anyone can take in alcohol and ride a motorcycle, especially willing to take someone on as a passenger.  The ride of death.  Lord have mercy.

So, I’m going to be in another kind of community tomorrow, but a different sort.  I may not know anyone, and still the energy can ramp up from the beauty and the noise of an amazing machine!  And everything is about the energy…doesn’t matter where it comes from.

Ride loud, ride proud!  Love, Connie
