It isn’t trivial!
I had a grand plan, a strategy with my social media.  My grand plan consisted of providing people with tidbits of my daily life, to peak their interest in my work.  My vision was for them to ask themselves:  “how does she show up like that every day?”  And then they would go and check out my work.
That grand plan worked for years.  My followers grew and I have podcast listeners in 32 countries!  Pretty cool deal.
But then some shit happened.  We all know about it.  The country as we knew it now is being dismantled.  There is gnarly stuff going on, people are getting hurt, and it’s bad.  And all of a sudden, posting tidbits about my daily life just seems so trivial.
But I was having a conversation this morning with a friend. It was one of those deep conversations, we were talking about spiritual bypass and balance and Oneness and knowing and being the truth of who we are, and about being aware of what is going on yet resting in the joy and truth of who and what we really are.  We talked about being ministers (even though he isn’t quite yet a minister)  and giving talks and being open to downloads from spirit and about our own healing and transitions.  Our talk lasted almost an hour.
And during our conversation, I shared with him that I had made the best chili rellanos  EVER for dinner last night, and that I had one for breakfast and it was every bit as good as the one I made last night, and yet I felt guilty, or wrong about sharing it like I used to do because there was so much stuff going on in the world.  It felt trivial to share it.
And he voiced that it wasn’t trivial.  That people needed to see the good in life, they needed to see that life goes on, no matter what.  They needed to see that all my work doing spiritual practices resulted in a great balance between being aware and being able to still enjoy life and be effective in my work. 
So I’m sharing my chili relleno success with you.  I’m not sure what made this batch the best ever, but it really is.  Chili rellenos are labor intensive, and I came home on Sunday afternoon from a pretty long and eventful day.  I had given a talk at Unity at the Lake (Lake Tahoe) in the morning then had lunch with a friend (another deep discussion) then went and performed a wedding.  I got home around 4:30 and there were horses to take care of, dogs to pay attention to and kitties to feed. I did all that and still, chile rellenos were calling my name. So I got out the eggs, flour, chilis, jack cheese and a can of Old El Paso mild red enchilada sauce and went to work.  Broiled the chilis, let them cool, peeled off the skin.  Separated the eggs, beat the whites into a nice froth, beat the yolks, blended the two, added some cumin, salt and baking powder to the flour, cut up the jack cheese to fit into the peppers, grated some more (can you say thank all that is good for my Cuisinart?).  Stuffed the peppers with the cheese, dipped into the eggs and then the flour, repeat, fry, then put them into a baking dish, cover with the cheese and the enchilada sauce and bake for 45 minutes.  Best batch EVER!
So there you have it.  One of the rewards of taking the time to consistently and persistently do spiritual practices is that one can come home after a long day and still have the energy left over to make chili rellenos and have it be the best batch EVER!
