May 21st, 2012 Today when I entered the hot room, a group of my friends were set up congregated in the third and fourth rows. I decided, after being forced to vacate my front row left corner last Friday by the teacher, I would venture into the back row today. Of course, I headed to the back right . . . → Read More: My View From the Back
May 20th, 2012 Today I spent a lovely afternoon in South Dennis attending a presentation by Nicola Burnell, publisher of Cape Women Online magazine, about the four classes she will be offering this summer. The classes deal with exploring your creativity, being the author of your own future, writing stories that define who we are, and finishing a . . . → Read More: No Expectations
May 19th, 2012 Absolutely beautiful morning on the beach. I have warm sun, sparkling waves, and even a couple of soaring parasailors. In front of me, just on the shoreline, a piping plover skips and flitters along the water’s edge. I know it’s an adult because the babies are still incubating in their eggs in the nests on . . . → Read More: It Really Is All About “Trusting the Process”
May 18th, 2012 Today I walked into the hot room and set up in the second row. A friend came in and said, “Are you sure you don’t want to go up front?” She wanted my spot, but she also knew I’d spent the better part of the spring in the first row, in the corner right up . . . → Read More: A Little Off-Balance
May 17th, 2012 Yesterday was one of those days where bad news of death, misfortune, and broken relationships hit me from all sides, along with those “I’m not talking to you!” “Fine!” conversations. A day that would be normally deemed high drama. And now, just flashing at the top of my screen, Donna Summer just died. (RIP Donna) . . . → Read More: It’s Not Drama! Who Knew?
May 16th, 2012 Today was women’s bible study day and we were finishing our last session on control. Andy Stanley, in the video, made a statement about controlling people that was profound. He said:
“You can’t control someone and love them at the same time.”
It struck me that must be why God gave us free will. God . . . → Read More: Controlling Controlling
May 14th, 2012 My friend Shirley, who is attending Bikram teacher training in LA, is doing a wonderful job blogging weekly about her experience there. Her blogs are detailed and give me an exact picture of just what teacher training involves. I cannot believe how hard and grueling it is. So much so that it just reinforces what . . . → Read More: Break It Down!
May 13th, 2012 Today is Mother’s Day. If I remember correctly, my mother never let me wallow in self-pity. It was always “pull up your boot straps, stop sniveling, and get on with it!”. Last year, on this day, I was beginning my first steps of recovery from my unexpected loss of her, so I dedicate this post . . . → Read More: Time To Share the Positives
May 9th, 2012 Are you in control? That is a double-edged question. Being in control of your emotions as you move through your day, especially when you’re blindsided by those unexpected circumstances, is one side of being in control. Controlling the people and circumstances in your life so you have peace of mind that no one can mess . . . → Read More: Are You In Control?
May 8th, 2012 Last night I was watching Smash, a new show that I’ve really enjoyed this season. It was nice to see a show not about crime and punishment or housewives. It was nice to see a theater setting instead of a hospital. All in all, it kept my interest to the point that I DVR’d it . . . → Read More: Just Stand
