Hi there,
I am confused no one has RSVP'd for DPW. When I asked if anyone would like to get together, it's because I thought a dinner party would be a great way to break the ice since we're asked to dig deep and share our stories as part of the light work. For me, I like to know people a little before I start airing out my dirty laundry. When Lee told me to organize it and I was handed a yellow paper where people volunteered their emails and phone numbers I thought, "Game on!"
Since creating the blog and sending out emails asking for people to RSVP so I can plan DPW, I am surprised not one person RSVP'd or said they couldn't come. Hello? Why tell me you are interested in having a dinner party and have me organize it if you aren't interested? I'm sorry but that's rude to tell someone you want to do something and then blow them off. It really turned me off to going back to class.
However, if by some crazy chance this is all a huge mistake, the planets were misaligned, or whatever, I hope you reach out and we can do something fun like a grad party at Zaftig's or a place anyone else wants to go to. It's the holidays! Why the long faces? Yes, I've seen you yawning in class. On the other hand, if you think dinner parties and making friends is the most vile thing on earth then I'm glad we are parting ways and I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
I do want to say one thing to anyone reading this who has been thinking of going to BKC. Go!
Who knows what is up with the various personalities in my class but the class and the books I've read have been extremely helpful. The organization is a little nutty because it's all volunteer-based but most of the people I have met there have been very warm, social, gracious people. I would recommend it to anyone who is feeling a little blue or any other unpleasant emotion and would like an "attitude adjustment" to feel more joy and fulfillment in their life. I don't think Kabbalah has a particularly unique perspective on the self-help path but nevertheless it works if you work at it.
I am suppose to write about discs 22-23 but I haven't done next week's homework yet. Stay tuned!
By the way, I am new to Boston and I was hoping BKC would be a great way to make friends. I was feeling blue about the failure of DPW until I realized I hadn't called up the really good friend I had. I did and it was her birthday the following weekend! She had a bunch of girlfriends over and we had wine and talked and her husband went out and got us take out so we could bitch about our boyfriends/husbands and it was a fabulous night even though her husband looked at us like a bunch of giggling dorks! This is exactly what the light work is about: Appreciating what you do have!
That put a big (slightly hung-over) smile on my face so I decided to start that exercise program I've been postponing. I took the dogs down to the reservoir for a walk and I met the most fabulous girl! She moved here from New York to go to grad school. I'm from Los Angeles and I'm putting my grad school application together. We exchanged phone numbers so now I have an exercise buddy and someone to swap grad school stories with. Hopefully she can tell me who does good highlights around here. Aw snaps for Elle! ;)
There were other amazing revelations for the week but I'll be quiet now and leave you with some mystery.

LC left the 'The Hills' and now I'm getting that rolling stone feeling too. I love you BKC but I need a little bit of fun along with all the hard stuff that comes with the light work. I guess that's why the crew drives to KC in NYC to capture some of that Kabbalah awesomeness!

ReplyDeleteLastly, to my mentor, you seemed great when you introduced yourself and I thought it was sweet you asked me to coffee but when you didn't follow up I wasn't sure if you meant it or if I was suppose to call you. If something came up, I hope it all works out and you have a happy life :)
ReplyDeleteOh, one more thing, Benjamin, don't complain if someone wants to help. I know I didn't clear the blog with Mark but Mark doesn't return emails (or at least not mine) so I could either do something or nothing. I choose to do something. Sorry if you didn't like it.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I promise this is the last thing, to the ladies who weren't in my class but actually saw the blog super thanks for telling me you liked it. It's not hard to create a blog but it is time-consuming so you were the only ones who made me feel like my energy wasn't wasted. In appreciation for your kind words, I am sending you all lots of positive energy!!! Thanks again ;D
ReplyDeleteLeslie - thank you for your generous interview regarding the Zohar project. It sounds like a wonderful gift to give.
ReplyDeleteDebbie - thank you for your generous interview on volunteering. You are such a sweetheart to volunteer organizing this and getting everyone on board.
ReplyDeleteJill - such a hard worker, always a pleasure to talk to you.
ReplyDeleteTo the handsome, young man from South Boston who always helped me in the bookstore and walked me to my car when it got dark, thank you :) And to the lady who asked me to coffee when I was having a bad day, thank you too :) I wish I was your Level 2 class because you both seem like cool people to hang out with.
ReplyDeleteMelinda - welcome to my 'hood and call me anytime! I'm a third generation Angelino so I can tell you everything you need to know or find someone who can. I put a call to my friend, Laura, because I think you two would have the most in common. I say the more friends you have in a new city, the more you will enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteSally - I'm sorry if buying that book offended you. You seemed like you were having a really hard time and you needed someone to be kind to you to break the negative streak. The 'Satan' book had really helped me to look at challenges differently and lifted my blues. I hoped it would help you too. I didn't mean to push it on you but you were like "you don't have to do that" but "I would read it" so I couldn't read your signals. Anyway, when I asked you about it, you said it was very helpful and then never talked to me again. I don't know what you were thinking or feeling but I thought you might have mistaken my kindness for charity and I had offended your pride. I didn't mean it that way and I'm sorry if that was the problem.
