let love shine and we will find a way to come together and make things better

There was a lot about yesterday that was lovely, I connected with a lot of people. Today already isn't the day I thought it would be. A poorly girly that I'm reluctant to leave means I'm glad I have been saving up my annual leave, tho it seems a bit of a shame that it's now getting used up on funerals and sickness. I shall try and do something lovely at some point today so that it feels a little bit holiday like. (I've started by playing Madonna's "Holiday", which is where today's title comes from!)
I've had an affirming email with the words "you could not have been better". These are good words to hear and good things to keep telling each other - who can you tell that to today?

I've managed to tell a couple of people, how did you get on?

I'm liking a lot of what Elizabeth Gilbert is sharing on facebook. Today she wrote about feeling powerful, that's it's to do with those times we're doing exactly what we want to be doing with our lives:

Power doesn’t have to be fierce. It doesn’t have to be aggressive or combative or cocky. It doesn’t have to tear anything down. It doesn’t have to be in your face. It doesn’t have to be a moment of fist-pumping victory. It doesn’t have to be expensive or monumental. It doesn’t have to make the world explode.

Generally speaking, the deepest kind of power doesn’t have much to do with anyone else at all. Nothing to do with status, nothing to do with reputation, nothing to do with winning.

Because you can achieve all that stuff (status, reputation, victory) and still feel lost as hell.

No, true power comes from standing in your own truth and walking on your own path.

That's it.

When you are operating from that place (standing in your truth; walking on your path) you are the mightiest thing that has ever lived. Nothing can harm you.

And it usually doesn’t even feel exciting! In fact, the moments in my life where I have completely inhabited my own power have been incredibly relaxing — because there is nothing to fight, nothing to prove.

You just ARE, and you have no doubts about what you are, or where you are, or who you are.
