			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know it is spring because I feel like I have cobwebs in my eyes, nose, and brain. I asked <a title="Stan Stewart" href="http://blog.mandaladesignworks.com/topics/muz4now/" target="_self">Stan</a> this morning if he liked Spring.  I even noticed my tone was a little sour when the question came out of my mouth. I also noticed that I felt a bit lifted by his answer. Turns out his favorite season is Fall.  So is mine.  I feel a little bah humbug about Spring, the same way folks feel about Christmas (which by the way, I Love!). I know. I know. Things are popping out of the ground, birds are singing, trees getting ready to burst, and all that good stuff.</p>
<p>I am suspicious it has to do with work. The sense that it is time to get moving again, after the long winter&#8217;s nap kind of thing. The other day I practically closed my eyes while walking from the car to the back porch for fear that all the fallen branches, leaves, peeling paint, splintering wood of the deck, would somehow reach out, grab and strangle me. See, it is the work thing. I can&#8217;t enjoy the season because I think I now have to work harder, do more, accomplish something.</p>
<p>This accomplish something thought has had a hold of me for quite awhile. I think it relaxes a bit more in the Autumn and Winter. As I feel it waking up from its slumber it scares me. Maybe this is the year I don&#8217;t have to invite it in? Maybe this year, this new season, there can be a chance for a springing up and over the old. I can land on the other side of it and with eyes forward keep walking-not look back.</p>
<p>This kind of talk always sounds good and makes me feel like an athlete after a good <a title="InterPlay Inspiration Deck" href="http://mandaladesignworks.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=86" target="_blank">motivational</a> speech<a href="http://museforthemoment.biz/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/LadySlipperUnopened.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-395" title="LadySlipperUnopened" src="http://museforthemoment.biz/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/LadySlipperUnopened-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> from a coach. I feel focused, ready, at the top of my game. Of course it is still early in the morning and my coffee is still hot!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In addition to <a title="Cheryl Cutler Quote on IID" href="http://blog.mandaladesignworks.com/2009/12/comments-are-flying-in/" target="_self">the Cheryl Cutler quote</a>, here are what some people are saying about Anita Bondi&#8217;s InterPlay Inspiration Deck!</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">I have been using the deck for my Hospice work&#8230; Asking patients or caregivers to pick a card and see how it &#8220;fits&#8221; them.<br />
Inevitably, the card is just right for the moment.</p>
<p>Some of the families I work with have logged onto the <a title="Body Wisdom, Inc." href="http://interplay.org" target="_blank">Interplay<br />
website</a> as a result of the cards and have grown interested in Interplay.<br />
It&#8217;s a <a title="InterPlay Inspiration Deck" href="http://museforthemoment.biz/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=16&amp;products_id=86" target="_blank">beautiful deck of cards</a> and such an easy way to show what<br />
Interplay is.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: right;">social worker, Hospice chaplain</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">So I brought my fun pack of round cards.  I was drawn to the Loosely and Tightly card&#8230;..I am thinking take it loosely&#8230;.yeah&#8230;relax&#8230;then take it tightly&#8230;.yeah&#8230;.strangle it&#8230;till it can&#8217;t breathe&#8230;..back and forth back and forth&#8230;loose and tight. And then I turned the card over&#8230;&#8230;Loosely and Lightly.  Aaaaah.  Ok.  No strangling involved whatsoever&#8230;.interesting concept.  I am having to rethink this whole thing now&#8230;.soften my grip and relax.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: right;">hard-working Mom with a corporate job</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a title="InterPlay Inspiration Deck" href="http://museforthemoment.biz/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=16&amp;products_id=86" target="_blank">InterPlay Inspiration cards</a> are easy to use and provide sweet insight into the everyday challenges.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: right;">under-employed, highly talented and trained person</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">I love using <a title="Anita Bondi Designs" href="http://AnitaBondiDesigns.com/" target="_blank">Anita&#8217;s InterPlay Inspiration Deck</a> and the way it helps me tap into my own inner wisdom.  The suggested exercies are also a great way to bring InterPlay into my every day.</p>
