One of THOSE Days

Did you ever have a day where you wake up early, the weather is beautiful and you have a dozen things on your to do list, but the next thing you know it’s 3 PM and you’ve accomplished nothing? That was my day today.

I woke up early, played around on the computer, and had . . . → Read More: One of THOSE Days

I’m-possible

Today in yoga class our instructor had us do a one minute camel, in honor of Mark and Shirley (fellow students), who are away in LA at Bikram training.

Hang Onto Consistency

This morning as I began my 400th morning page, I was tired. I was writing about how I didn’t want to go to yoga. In fact, I just wanted to go back to bed. Yesterday I went to yoga, had a full day, and today I just wanted to stop. The thing is, I set . . . → Read More: Hang Onto Consistency

Durable Goods

I read a lot of quotes. I mean a lot – between Facebook and twitter and my daily meditations, a lot of smart things, said by wise people, cross my desk each day. I often thought to myself, “Someday I’m going to say something smart and wise and quote myself”. It finally happened and took . . . → Read More: Durable Goods

Now I Know “Where The Years Went”

Yesterday, while cleaning, I came upon a journal I started in the fall of 1980. There were only two entries in it. One from 10/17 and one from 10/26. I wondered why I stopped writing. Then I read the entries. The last one on 10/26 went like this:

Needs Nothing

I still can’t believe I’m called back to Ecclesiastes 1:7…. “God does not give us a spirit of fear and timidity, but one of power, love, and self-discipline.”

I even removed it from the wall paper on my phone, thinking I no longer needed to read it a hundred times a day – and I . . . → Read More: Needs Nothing

A Herculean Task

The Herculean task I’m speaking of is going to Bikram teacher training. First, you need about 20K to attend. That, right there is a Herculean task all it’s own for most of us. Then you have to leave your home and family and practically relocate to a hotel in LA for 9 weeks. Money and . . . → Read More: A Herculean Task

Let It Go

I’m reading such a great book that I have to give my review of it before I’m even finished. It’s called “Let It Go” by T.D. Jakes. Many have written to me about my posts indicating they are facing some of the same struggles, so I just have to share this book with you.

ExCELLence

A cell holds things. Prisoners, organisms, photo electric energy…. The word “excellence” holds the word “cell”.

Each Wednesday a creative writing blogger I follow sends out “word-in-a-word” exercises to challenge us and stimulate creative thinking. . They are stimulating and I usually have fun playing around with them, but this one today hit me . . . → Read More: ExCELLence
