The Ideal Scene

When I first moved to Park City in 2004, I was pregnant with Brewster.  Matt had passed the Utah bar and scored a job two years prior in 2002 at Fabian & Clendenin in SLC.  We were living at my folk's condo on Park Avenue and I didn't have many friends. I was practicing yoga at Silver Mountain Sports Club & I met two pregnant mamas, Lisa D'Agostino & Jane Perkins.   Our babies are all the exact same age, and I love and am so grateful to them both for being some of my first friends in Park City. It's hard to make those friends.....Jane and I both birthed boys the same month (December, 2004) and shared a nanny named Lindsey.  At one point when the boys were little, Jane asked me to be if I wanted to be in a mediation circle.  Of course I said yes knowing nothing about mediation....The joiner in me shines.....So, I hired a babysitter and drove over to Jane's beautiful home.  She lead me outside to the back yard....There lies some of the very little (and coveted) water in Park City.  We sat on her little bridge and sitting area at the Quarry Mountain stream.  Jane introduced me to a new group of women.  None whom I had ever seen.....Thirteen years later, these women are some of my closest secret-keepers of my life.  Together they have shared incredible highs and lows in our lives.  We have picked Angel Cards and talked about dreams, disappointments and intentions for all those years.  Jane, Ruth, Senti, Stacey, Ruth Pam, Kristi and Becca are my mediation soul-sisters.Senti and Stacey both studied in Santa Monica and earned Masters of Spirituality: An OMAzing program.  They have taken their learnings and started a program in Park City called LifeCourse Education.  I highly highly recommend the workshops and classes.  I took their six week class "Transformative Personal Highlights", when they first started teaching and then took the workshop again last year.I love and loved the amazing work that Stacey and Senti are sharing with the world!  The work so effective....One of their exercises at the workshop is to create what they call and "Ideal Scene" . I drew a circle in the middle of a blank sheet of paper and circled the words "I AM" . And then I drew lines with bubbles at the end. I filled the bubbles with a bunch of things that I wanted to attract in your life.  I only had to be 50% believable.  It helped me identify what it is in my life that I want.  And....to be specific.A few months after Matt & I had  agreed that a semester was "do-able" in France with the kids, I signed up for a second LIfecourse clas.  October, 2017 was time for me to plan!  Brewster was in 7th grade grade and I knew I wanted to go when he was in 8th.  I  didn't want to mess with his high school credits.  The time to go to plan to France was now.I created an ideal scene of my life in France: living in a French apartment with the kids, walking them to school, to face-timing with Matt, sitting at a cafe.....During the few weeks of my Lifecourse, the ideal scene for France unfolded.It wasn't just happening during class time.  Stacey and Senti assigned homework.  I had to  take e one item from that "ideal scene" and add action.  That is when I started looking for an apartment.
