Here I'm Standing
on an ancient tree that had fallen over a lovely little creek creating a bridge. It is one of my favorite places in the world to pray, meditate and play my flute. In front of me, which you can't see, is a "smiling tree." Really! It has grown a smile right in the bark. Once, while smiling back, I fell in the creek!

Are you ready for a new life?
If so, choose A or B
A. The “Stop it!” challenge
You see, this will change you. It will show you where we, as a society, have gone cuckoo. It will, by the simple laws of cause and effect, create less clutter and elevate stress you didn't even know you were feeling (the Chotchky effect). And it will increase your bottom line! You see, we are throwing away money that could be going toward the life of our dreams! More on this in the book!
If you still think this is no biggie…
I dare you to ad this little twist for extra credit. Do not buy any food until you have used up the food you already have. Oh, gotcha! You may donate or even (yuck) throw away food you just know you aren’t ever going to eat. Then only buy the food you really need and is good for you, for one month. That's all, a tiny fraction of your life. This will change you! For Goods Sake. You will begin to discover, you are perfect and whole as you are, no “thing” is needed. Ultimately, the Chotchky Challenge is to learn how to fully love and accept our self just as we are. That's the goal here and the end game!
B. Energize
Step 1. Gather and release
Take five minutes, five stinkin’ minutes is all I’m asking, and write down everything in your life that you feel is not supporting your highest good. The following categories may be helpful: Things, Body and Mind. Although they overlap, the distinction is useful. Is there any excess stuff that comes to mind? Your closet, your kitchen, your car etc. Consider the people in your life. Peoplotchky is running ramped. Now, consider mentalotchky, like negative information, magazines, TV shows etc. How about foodotchky? Whatever you want. It’s your five minutes.
Now, whatever you write down, get rid of it. Let it go. Make room for your better good to come rushing in. This stuff is poisoning your life.
Step 2. Energize!
Begin the healing and transforming process of transferring all the energy that was once wasted on all the Chotchky into the creation of your dreams, your passion, your Soul’s purpose and your love relationships. This is nothing short of a recipe for miracles. As we realize how much time and money (which is stored energy) we have wasted on the care and feeling of Chotchky and transfer it in the direction of our Soul, everything changes.
We have but one life to live, why would we ever waste it on Chotchky? As Capt. Kirk said, it’s time we all “Energize!”
