Why Is Everything So Hard?

This morning, driving back from yoga, that was my question to God and the universe in general. Yesterday I went to fit club and night yoga and this morning, less than 15 hours later, I was back in yoga. The class was better than I expected. No heat or breathing problems and even my arm . . . → Read More: Why Is Everything So Hard?

It Is MY Belief Too!

This, from Julia Cameron:

“It is my belief that any regular practice is a good practice. It is my belief that if you bicycle, it will teach you. If you walk, it will teach you. If you bake or write poems, it will teach you. What will teach you is the “it” that you do . . . → Read More: It Is MY Belief Too!

That’s Me! That’s Me!

Today a great concept smacked me in the brain bright and early this morning. That probably meant that I shouldn’t dismiss it’s message so easily.

You ARE Your Thoughts

In effect, I . . . → Read More: You ARE Your Thoughts

TMI

Just the fact that I could check so many categories for this post proves my point before I even state it. A few months ago I was information, direction, and "how to" starved.

I Just Want To Read

It’s a really really dark rainy Sunday morning. The dark is dark enough to keep the sensor candles in my windows illuminating each room of the house with golden warmth. A candle flickers on the mantle, blinking at me as I write. A pot of chili is simmering on the stove and the Patriots play . . . → Read More: I Just Want To Read

Over the past three . . . → Read More: Rite of Passage

Joie de vivre!

I cannot again tell you how much the book I reviewed last night is changing my life. “Bonjour, Happiness” has just got me so into living in the moment and finding happiness in the thing I’m doing and the people I’m hanging with at the moment.

Tonight has been magical. My daughter and her . . . → Read More: Joie de vivre!
