Thanks for sharing, Pan. I love all of the stories on this forum. I used to curse-etc. if I even spilled a glass of water! Eckhart Tolle started me on my positive journey, and meditation is moving me along the path. I feel as though I am now a positive influence on friends' and families' lives, when before I always would've chimed in on their "negative party". I feel like my energy maybe even has a calming effect...with subtle actions, I see others loosen their tenseness (is that a word? lol) I used to be upset and frustrated that I couldn't change the world, but now I really "get it"...we change the world by changing ourselves.

It's the "100th monkey effect". Happiness to you, Pan, and all of you wonderfully brave and positive people!
