The Power of Now
Filed Under Erin Weed's Blog | 2 Comments
My friend Nancy Colasurdo turned me on to the book A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle a few months ago. I bought it at some airport, and tried to read it without much success. At the time it was too heavy and spiritual – neither of which fit in to my mindset as a tough business traveler, forging her way around 30 cities in less than 3 months. Sorry, but spiritual enlightenment would have to wait. But now that I’m back home and starting to relax a bit, I picked up the book again…and this time it really spoke to me. I finished the book while chillin’ in Atlanta this past weekend, and now I’ve begun Eckhart’s other work called The Power of Now. I’ll be writing more posts about these books in the near future, so I just wanted to warn you. Weed is gettin’ Zen, so watch out.

Tonight I got to visit one of my favorite Girls Fight Back supporters, Kelsey Bratcher, at U of Texas. It was a pretty cool time to be on campus, because the Final Four basketball tournament was taking place there. Anyway, I spoke to a packed room of women, and let out a good ol’ yee haw! (I always do this when speaking in Texas – I bet it’s pretty annoying to the natives.) In attendance were some pretty awesome campus security officers, who do safety programming all year round for the students. Impressive! The crowd was really great, and they laughed at all my jokes. (this is rare) After the seminar Kelsey held a pretty cool raffle, and nearly everyone left with some GFB booty. Me and my homegirl posed by the fun sign they made. I have to say, it’s a little odd to go to a school you’ve never stepped foot in, and to see your own mug on posters everywhere. So when this happens, I always pose for a pic with myself. Doesn’t get much more egotistic than that, huh? Taking pictures with pictures of yourself? My homeboy Eckhart Tolle would be shaking his head right now…
