Like you, the book practically jumped into my hands. As fate would have it, I was working on a book of my own and my editor was the same guy who edited The Power of Now. So I had the chance to talk to the editor about it and the thrust of the book...from someone who knew the book and its author intimately. Felt like a total privilege.<br />Life is indeed strange...but frequently offers up what we need, just when we need it. We need to be open to those gifts.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470499558973726796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026450255174007652.post-55836564853236862112011-02-08T20:15:16.620-05:002011-02-08T20:15:16.620-05:00Thank you for this post.

I just bought "The Power of Now" this weekend, and after reading a couple of chapters, wondered if there was anything out there about the book in regards to infidelity--did a google search today and found this post. And, it's not even an old post! Sometimes it's hard to believe that some things are just coincidences. <br /><br />I am 9 weeks past D-day, just wishing to find the exit ramp from this emotional rollercoaster, but realizing I'll be here for awhile. When I saw the book this weekend, it practically leapt from the shelf into my hands.<br /><br />Again, thanks. I'll be checking back to your blog frequently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026450255174007652.post-91069991005227265062011-02-06T21:10:52.851-05:002011-02-06T21:10:52.851-05:00Janice,
That's great. So glad you found a rep...Janice,<br /><br />That's great. So glad you found a reprieve from the oppressive "affair" thoughts. Shows you that it's possible. And that "window" will continue to open wider, letting in more fresh air.<br />And thanks also for your kind words. Made my day even more than a new outfit and great new pair of shoes would have! :)Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470499558973726796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026450255174007652.post-47457516520032416502011-02-06T08:21:45.279-05:002011-02-06T08:21:45.279-05:00Elle and all the others, I had a cathartic moment ...Elle and all the others, I had a cathartic moment yesterday and I would so recommend it to everyone!!! I went to Lord and Taylor and literally shopped til I dropped. My wallet has lost weight but the sales are fantastic and guess what, for three glorious hours I didn't think of the elephant in the room. It was bliss. I hope I don't develop a shopping addiction!!! LOL! <br />I also think he is coming out of the fog. I got a really perfect message from him yesterday really giving me hope. He wants me to erase the emails that I forwarded to myself on DDay ... I told him I would when I feel that we are at least half way to re-establishing trust. Meanwhile they are my insurance policy. I am sure he knows that... Those emails would guarantee me everything in a God forbid, divorce. <br />Your blog is phenomenal. Don't stop writing ever. You are like the voice and heart of millions and your words are a piece of my recovery. Thank you!!!<br />JaniceJanicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026450255174007652.post-8197620537508762452011-02-04T13:33:04.122-05:002011-02-04T13:33:04.122-05:00Not crazy at all...quite normal, in fact.
And livi...Not crazy at all...quite normal, in fact.<br />And living in the "now" didn't (still doesn't!!) come easy for me...but it does get easier the more I practice it. I'll often have to consciously "bring myself back". I force myself to take a breath and remind myself that – in this moment – I'm okay. I've always tended to be a catastrophizer – if my kids are five minutes late coming home from school, I wonder if they've been abducted, murdered, hit by a car... I'm so much better now at taking that breath...and trusting.<br />Keep doing what you're doing. Each day brings you a bit closer to peace. <br />And thanks for your kind words.

It seems like whenever I need that "hug" or "your going to be o.k." I read one of your blogs and it seems to fit what I'm feeling that day.<br />At this moment I am struggling with living in the moment. I know that is what I need to do but doing so is hard and I think I'm having a hard time because I'm holding on to the pain afraid of letting myself get hurt again or to be truly happy. Logically I know this is preventing me from being happy. I'm 17 months in from D day- some days are great and others are torture (self inflicted) but I know overall I'm in a better place.
