Not Linear

I have often mentioned that I follow three Bikram yoga blogs – 3 women that practice daily, and post daily, too. It’s great to follow them. I feel like I know them. Lisa Jones, who writes The Here and Now, wrote about an absolutely awful class. She told how she was stomach sick and was . . . → Read More: Not Linear

To That Edge Again

One of my favorite sayings is “Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone”. I feel that is my home lately. Starting a new business and writing and publishing books are both two zones I’ve never been in before and I can guarantee it’s going to be a long time before I feel any . . . → Read More: To That Edge Again

Why Do I Read?

One might ask, “Why would you ever stop to even ask yourself that question?”. Once again I was moved by the words of another writer. Ariana Huffington was on CBS this morning remembering her good friend, Nora Ephton, who passed away yesterday. (Screenwriter for “When Haryy Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle) Nora was one of . . . → Read More: Why Do I Read?

It’s Alright

When I woke up this morning I was a little sluggish – not necessarily tired, but unmotivated and a bit anxious. I knew morning pages and some meditative readings would be a good place to begin turning this day around. Praying for others and giving gratitude began to restore my energy. Then, once again, there, . . . → Read More: It’s Alright

“Go”ing For It!

How many times do we set a goal for ourselves? How many times do we decide to do something, get really excited about something, and months later we realize we hadn’t even started it yet? Today something came across my desk that wasn’t very long, but really made me think. Tom Landry once said:

“Setting . . . → Read More: “Go”ing For It!

What Kind of Cocktail Are YOU?

Last Sunday I was in NY when my Cape Cod Times was delivered. When I returned I set it aside, meaning to read it. All this week I tried to get to it, even contemplated throwing it away a few times. I stopped myself because the Sunday CCT has wonderful extra things in it besides . . . → Read More: What Kind of Cocktail Are YOU?

Life In A Four Room Apartment

We all know our lives move in cycles and when we look back on our decades, we can delineate those periods in the cycles. Sometimes we learn we live to a pattern and may be able to anticipate the next change or phase. Today, in doing some “studying” for my business, I arrived at a . . . → Read More: Life In A Four Room Apartment

Learning About Longevity

I have been doing Bikram yoga for 22 months now, five days a week. For 16 of those 22 months nothing was ever sore or ever hurt me between classes. In the last 6 months I have had issues with different muscles. Some days my glutes would hurt. Some days my chin, first one leg, . . . → Read More: Learning About Longevity

Another Gem…In My Backyard

It happened again, and I’m glad. This week two writer/blogger friends and I took a little field trip. One of them was a member of the Cotuit Center for the Arts and suggested we take our blog meeting on a little field trip to Wine and Music Night at the center. Wine and Music Night? . . . → Read More: Another Gem…In My Backyard

Not “For Artists Only”

I used to subscribe to a blog called Keitharsis. It was by a writer named Keith Jennings. I was drawn to it because of his general philosophy on creativity. It was a great approach to not only art and writing, but just a great philosophy of life, too.

The part that attracted me was . . . → Read More: Not “For Artists Only”
