During this time, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve had your fair share of loss, disappointment, and unmet expectations. What are you doing with it all? I hope you\u2019re not looking for new places to stuff it. With what feels like truckloads of LDE (loss, disappointment, expectation) lately in my world, I got really curious about how to NOT be permanently changed by these occurrences. It looks to me like life is going to do what it\u2019s going to do, and people are going to do what they\u2019re going to do. I decided I want to flow better with these changes\u2019 vs creating a story and living inside my story about what\u2019s happening around me? LDE certainly appears to be part of the nature of life and part of the human experience. When I got curious, what sounds like seconds but felt like years, out of the blue, an insight dropped in, \u201cI don\u2019t want to be a pickle.\u201d What? A pickle? I had to laugh. My intuition has a profound sense of humor! As I considered this insight, a pickle lives inside a rigid container steeped in bitter vinegar. Well, there\u2019s nothing about feeling confined or living with an internal environment of bitterness that interests me. So, I got curious about how to NOT be a pickle. At this moment in time, I\u2019m seeing I have some free will in this game. So, I exercised my free will and put my pin on the map about how I desire to feel in my day-to-day life with the unpredictable nature of life. With a curious desire to see something fresh, on NOT being a pickle, I\u2019ve gotten some very helpful insights on how to live in more peace and joy while the world does what it\u2019s going to do. This same process can work for you.\u201d ","author_name":"Connected Living with Cherie Ray","author_url":"http:\/\/cherieray.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/21666740\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/21666740"}
