what would happen
where i stand . early july 2010
as afternoon began to fade toward evening, the thoughts tumbled a bit after two conversations with friends. because ellie was still napping, i came to my laptop and clicked to my email and read the nicest words about me and my work from someone who doesn't even really know me and then i felt tears tap the back of my eyeballs.
because this is what i know: even when life is full of the "oh my goodness things are crazy around here" kind of stuff, it is full of so much beauty.
but the only way i can see the beauty is if i give myself the space to see myself.
and then some words began to rush together in my mind, so i turned on the microphone to catch them (for you...for me).

What would happen if, the next time you're out with a friend or loved one and they share something good about you, you responded with a heartfelt "Thank you for seeing me." ?
Let's find out.
I know I've said this before but I love listening to your voice. Great words. Great message!
You've really got me with this message! Thank you.
quite possibly one of my most favorite posts you've ever done. I want to listen to this every day as I am getting ready in the morning as a "ready for the day" mantra.
Thanks for adding your voice to these words...so powerful.
you have such a soothing voice...I really needed these words this morning; Thank you!
OH Liz,
Thanks for soothing my weary heart today. You bring such a calm and warm feeling that just hugs all parts of me.
Beautiful, the message, the voice the person.. You have a gift for expressing what i believe so many of us feel in a beautiful heartfelt way..
Namaste
I took this with me to the gym today, as working out is my only time to myself. As I started moving my body and my heart began pumping faster, your voice soothed me with a message so true and lovely that I could'nt help but tear up as I walked. THANK YOU for this. Thank you for your other audio messages as well. "Holding compassion" is helping me release the hurt a loved one caused me and to let go of the anger I have felt towards her.
Thank you, Liz. I honor all that you are and all that you are putting out into the universe. You are deeply loved and appreciated.

Thank you, Liz. You are so wise. Namaste.
Thank you for this message - just what I needed to hear today.
Thank you.
Thank you Liz. You're words are powerful and penetrating and divinely timed. I experienced chills several times while listening to you... which tells me you were speaking directly to my soul. So thank you Liz. You are beautiful and wise and creative and enough... always enough.
