Episode notes/references/links:

Byron Katie Loving What Is

Van Morrison song Cleaning Windows

What's my line?
I'm happy cleaning windows
Take my time
I'll see you when my love grows
Baby, don't let it slide
I'm a working man in my prime
Cleaning windows

Abraham-Hicks quote on contrast: “There is not something you’re supposed to do. There’s not something that you should do. There is only that which you are inspired to do. And how do you get inspired except by the contrast? It’s the life experience that gives you the idea of the desire, and then as you focus upon the desire, the Energy flows.”
