On my way home from a look-see in NJ on Monday, I experienced a profound sense of joy. It was a combination of moments that added up to a burst of feeling in my body that I wanted to embrace and explore.
Here are the elements that composed that exquisite awareness:
- It was a glorious June day.
- I hit NO traffic on my round-trip to New Jersey.
- I needed to see a space for an event I’m facilitating, and it was perfect and inspiring.
- I had gotten a virus on my Mac laptop and made a convenient appointment at the Apple store Genius Bar en route to have it removed. (Sidebar – My curiosity got the better of me, and I clicked on a link to see the infamous boxer shorts and paid the price. Ugh!)
- When checking messages on my voicemail I heard one from Barbara Bigford whom I had recently blogged about and consider a rock star. Another thrill.
- That night was EWN’s Grand Networking Event which is an annual high point where I get to hang out with my entrepreneurial clients, friends and colleagues.
When I talk about success, I say that it’s being in the present moment with your desired outcomes and acknowledging that you’re there. Otherwise, it’s always about striving. Monday was a really successful day.
Jane, I love this blog. I feel your joy. I love days like this. Thanks for sharing all you aha moments with us.

I’m so happy it’s contagious. Thanks so much for your comment.
ok, 2 impossibilities:
1) no traffic round trip through NJ?? i cannot believe that, and
2) v-v-v virus on a Mac? i thought they weren’t succeptable?

When I asked the guy at the Genius bar that same question, he said to me, “You know the dialog box that comes up asking if you want to update now?” I’d been ignoring it for way too long. It was my fault, not Mac’s. The no-traffic going to Jersey was truly a miracle.
