Conscious Relationships

{One year ago today :: March 3, 2014 :: Costa Rica}

{This series was inspired by my son's sixth grade english assignment 

of writing for six minutes, without edits or overthinking it.

I'll be posting daily quick writes for the month of March.}

We live in a small town (population 126).  The reason I'm sharing this with you is to give you a little background about our crummy internet service.  It has been unreliable and measured since we moved here over seven years ago.  Watching videos or looking at too many image-rich sites can time us out and use up all of our daily internet allowance.  Since my husband works from home and I'm addicted to interior design websites, this can be a problem at times.

This used to frustrate me to no end and over the years we have changed internet providers, tried different satellite services and accepted the fact that cable internet will never be available to us in our one-horse town.  We recently switched to Verizon's satellite internet service home plan and that's tacked on to our cell phone bill.  So far, so good.  

Blah, blah, blah.  My point is that a friend sent me this Youtube video featuring Rev. Deborah L. Johnson and asked me to watch it.  Since I live where I do, I needed to watch this somewhere other than my home; somewhere that actually seems like it's in the year 2015.  The video sat unwatched in my inbox for a few weeks, beckoning me to hurry up and seek out a fast internet connection and find out what all the fuss was about.

This video is about conscious relationships and it's a huge game-changer.  

Needless to say, once I finally sat down and clicked play, this video blew my freaking mind.

I paused it.

Took notes.

Shared it with a few friends.

And now I can't wait to watch it again.

If you watch it, let me know what you think.  Don't be in a hurry or have other things going on.  Just grab a cup of coffee or tea and really let her words sink in.  It's approximately 45 minutes long.

Powerful stuff.
