The Present:Finding Myself in the Middle of NowHere by Jerry Downs

A gift from Jerry: http://www.thepresentis.it/

Jerry Downs is an unusual being, he is an artist, but much
more than that he is aware of and therefore a witness to the
magic and synchronicities that abound in this life we live.
And he is my friend.

'The Present: Finding Myself in the Middle of NowHere'
is a photo journal of a journey from Marin County, California
to Boulder, Colorado, and back again, a journey Jerry has taken
many times in his lifetime. I laughed my way through this book
and totally related to what he experienced and how he thinks.
This is more than anything, a book about surrendering to the
moment and the magic that results. Besides being a magical
thinker, Jerry is also an incredible photographer.

During the writing of this book the working title was always
'The Present'. At one point Jerry was planning to self publish
and proceeded as if this would be his course of action and the
result would be a physical book. Then he had the epiphany,
'The Present' would be just that, a present, a gift from him to us.
That's right, this book is free. Download it, read it, pass it on for
free. Let it take you on its' magical mystery tour.

I told you Jerry is an unusual being.

Putting Myself Out in the World

My new business card.

Mid October 2010 I started doing the prosperity healing
sessions 5 days a week Monday through Friday. So much
has changed since then for people in the group. But I will
speak for myself now, I am a different person. I live right
in the center of myself, my mind has quieted, and my
healing work has gained potency. I guess this is what is
bound to happen when one sits down to meditate and pray
an hour a day. Sometimes I am tempted to stop, the
commitment to show up has been huge but each day I take
it one day at a time and say yes.

At the same time in October 2010 I wrote my brochure
for my spiritual mentoring. It did not feel right to get
it printed, for whatever reasons at the time. Last week
I finally ordered it and a few days ago 1500 brochures
arrived at the door. Then having seen the quality of their
work I went ahead and ordered 1000 business cards.
I am ready now. I was not ready then. I am so clear in my
work. It is a wonderful feeling. If you are reading this and
want a brochure or know a good place to leave a stack of
them please email me at katherine@katherinetreffinger.com
Thank you for any support.
