The Top 10 Reasons to Travel with Mary Ann Reynolds

the list below made my day! my friend katie raver included it in an email this morning. she and her husband, keith fail, rode with me to and from our last weekend of eNLP (evolutionary neuro-linguistic programming--what a mouthful!) in dallas.

i got home about 1 o'clock this morning, then got up at the usual time to go to work this morning. i'm draggin' a little bit. that katie, she's got a lot more energy than i do today!

The Top 10 Reasons to Travel with Mary Ann Reynolds

10. She has a fancy hybrid car that gets over 40 miles to the gallon!
9. She's very flexible, in her muscles, in her brain, and in her planning.
8. She tells me funny stories about her granddaughter.
7. She plays Coleman Barks reading Rumi, in the car, while traveling at night - wow!
6. If she sees someone else do something physical (a girl dog-paddling in the pool, a Bollywood star dancing on TV) she does what they do--with great curiosity and joy!
5. She knows a lot about many things: NLP, the enneagram, organic food, yoga, how to change your state.
4. She knows that sometimes, people are just tired and hungry. They're not necessarily psychically out of balance or dealing with childhood trauma--sometimes, they're just tired or hungry.
3. She's been to Maui.
2. She's willing to take little side adventures, on gravel roads, even late at night!
1. You'll experience happiness and joy and grace and glee!

thanks, katie!

  2. wow. i was physically tired. very grateful for all the new learning. feeling like i needed to go really slow to integrate everything.

    it's so interesting how people's energy varies! i'm a vata in ayurveda. we tire easily.

    i bet you're a pitta or kapha, katie!
