I wanted to write about this yesterday but, I was too shocked to get it down on faux paper~ I think that I can handle it today.
Gary Craig is retiring and closing down the whole EFT website and everything that goes with it. It is over on January 15th. Even all of the amazing research is ending. If you have been thinking about getting some of the DVD’s, now would be the time to do it. Once they are all sold…that’s it. You can read Gary’s personal post here. He shares his story in such a heart felt way~ He has made this decision to take care of his health and well being.
I am surprised at how much sadness I feel about this whole thing. He has been a mentor to me. I have learned so much from him and how he shows up in the world. I have had the honor of meeting him and receiving training from him. And now, that connection is over. And I am afraid that I am just not ready for it.
His timing really sucks for me!
I am not saying that some of the things he has done in the last year havn’t driven me crazy…they have. I have felt lots of frustration. Especially with all the changes to the certification process…and now after studying all that stuff and taking the test and getting certified…it ain’t gonna mean anything.
Ah well, shit happens.
It is such a strange thing when someone else’s timing with something goes counter to your own. It happens all the time. When folks drop dead…and you weren’t ready. When jobs end…and you weren’t ready. When kids leave home…and your weren’t ready. When kids move back…and you weren’t ready. I could just keep listing things…it goes on and on and on.
Timing is a strange thing.
Trust seems to play with timing. After some of the shock wore off, I noticed my thoughts moving towards trusting. Trusting that the EFT community will find a new rhythm. Trusting that my business will continue to flourish. Trusting that all will be well. Trusting that new possibilities will show up because of this change.
But, I still think his timing sucks. At least for me. Yes. I am that selfish!
So, ready or not…I am face to face with the end of an era. What is to come in the future? I have no idea. Haven’t had time to dream up anything new.
So for now….I bid you farewell Gary. I wish you much health and happiness in the years to come. Thanks for all that you have done for me, for others and for the world of EFT. Lots of love, Lynne

I agree 100%! Very poor timing. I’ve been studying the DVDs but don’t have all of the requirements for the exam yet. Too late! Thanks for chatting with me, Lynne. I feel much more focused now and maybe Gary’s decision is a good thing in the long run. I will miss the wealth of information on his site. It has been a n awesome resource for me over the years. I guess you and Rue Hass get to be my next gurus. I’m liking this new direction more and more as I think about it. Thank you Gary Craig, for all you have done for the big world and for my little world and thank you for producing wonderfully trained people like Lynne.
Peace out! ;o)

Ahhhhhh thanks Becky~ I will miss all of his amazing resources as well. I don’t know if you want to make me one of your next guru’s though. I can barely even spell the word 😉
