Hi Everyone!
This has been one of the most transformational months in my life! So much has happened I hardly know where to start. First of all, Cinnamon Sky has done an amazing job of redesigning my www.lovewithoutlimits.com website with support from my webhosts, Will and Sue Jones. More additions are in the works, one of which will allow people to connect with each other, so check it out and let me know what you think. The upgrade was just in time for an ABC news story which quoted me and my book. ABC news got interested because Gay Talese, now in his 70’s and author of many books including Thy Neighbor’s Wife published the second volume of his memoirs which talked about his own non-traditional 50 year marriage. Click these links if you want the details:

People have been suggesting for years that I write my memoirs but I haven’t really had much juice for that project, partly because the past, however colorful and exciting it may have been, is past. And while I might be just as good a writer, I am no where near as famous as Gay Talese. Also because in spite of rave reviews from those who have read it, The Seven Natural Laws of Love hasn’t sold that well. If half the people who bought Love Without Limits bought the Seven Natural Laws, I’d be in my 3rd or 4th printing and I haven’t even sold out the first run. So I hesitate to invest more time and energy in another book. Having said that, I have been feeling inspired to start working on a novel about death which is not a subject I have any firsthand knowledge of, so I will have to do some research. Fortunately I like to research new topics! And I hear it’s good for your brain too.
With all the rocking and rolling on the planet these days, and all the aging Baby Boomers, I figure there’s going to be a lot of people dying in the near future. A hurricane narrowly missed Hawaii the other day, then a series of big earthquakes in Peru generated a tsunami warning. You’ve undoubtedly been hearing about all the chaos in the financial markets.
We’ve also had a few small earthquakes here in Hawaii, just a little shaking up, no damage, but on a personal level, the big deal for me is that I fell and broke my leg. The middle right tibia and top right fibula in case you want to visualize quick and easy healing. I’ve never broken a bone before in my life and I was alone on the Farm when it happened so it was a little scary. At the same time, it has been an amazing catalyst for the breaking open of my own heart.
I am so grateful for all the love and support and much needed help I’ve been receiving and so grateful I’ve been able to just surrender to the whole situation. Everything I’ve needed has magically shown up. It’s been an amazing opportunity to lie back and receive and to slow down enough to appreciate all the incredible beauty around me even more deeply. I admit I was disappointed that I won’t be able to swim miles every day, let alone get in the ocean for many months, and I won’t be able to do much work on the Farm. I was also sad I won’t be able to get back to California when I planned to spend more time with my daughter before she leaves for college, but in a funny way, this broken leg has created more clarity in my life as it tells me I need to return to California for a few months and base there until my leg is healed.
At this time, I am still intending to offer the Women’s Healing Retreat Oct 13-20, perhaps with an apprentice to help with the snorkeling and dolphin activities. The retreat is limited to eight lucky women, who want to do some deep healing of body and soul, to pamper themselves and each other with massage and by making their own natural spa products and eating healthy, natural, local foods. If you want to attend, register now as I need your support to keep this retreat on track! Click on this link to sign up. http://www.sevenlawsoflove.com/store/default.asp. You can also order books and ebooks there.
I also want to offer you the following link to a podcast of an interview with me on sexual healing. It’s free and available to listen to anytime:
http://www.personallifemedia.com/podcasts/tantra-kama-sutra/episode011-deborah-anapol-sexual-healing.html
In the midst of all this intensity, I also recommend this short inspirational feel good video you can view by clicking this link: http://theshiftmovie.com/index2.html
There are still some rental openings at Lokahi Farm in September, October, and November if you’d like to enjoy a tropical vacation in the Garden of Eden. I don’t know if I will be at Lokahi Farm beyond December of this year, so if you’ve been putting off a visit, get it on your calendar now! If you could use some support with your own changes I have lots of time open for phone sessions now as I rest my leg. You can reach me at taj@lovewithoutlimits.com or at 415.507.1739.
Until then, may your heart be open, may your eyes see nothing but beauty and may you hear the wisdom of the ancestors.
Aloha,
Deborah Taj Anapol
