Why Worry?

After all the reading and writing I’ve done since I started this blog, I found worrying is the topic that most worries us. Just this morning I found myself reading the the ticker tape running along the bottom of the screen while watching the news. The Dow closed above 13,000 yesterday, therefore, I thought, my . . . → Read More: Why Worry?

The “Moving Mat” Syndrome

Yesterday I read an interesting blog posted on our Bikram Yoga Cape Cod Facebook page. It was entitled Move Your Mat. Anyone who practices yoga regularly, knows you acquire a favorite “spot” in the room. You also know the room is divided into “regions”. There’s the “hottest spot” not near any door or window. There’s . . . → Read More: The “Moving Mat” Syndrome

Planting Seeds-After All, It Is Spring

The warm weather came and teased us a bit last week. The 70 degree temperatures brought thoughts of garden centers and patio pots – but wait, put the brakes on that thought – it’s only March.

Today driving up 6A in a gentle spring rain, I was thinking about my awful impatience with things . . . → Read More: Planting Seeds-After All, It Is Spring

On To Mockingjay

Tonight I’m starting the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy. So far, The Hunger Games left me feeling strong. Good triumphs evil …I think. Yesterday when I started Catching Fire, the second book, I was revved up and ready to go. Today as I got into the second half of the book, my mood . . . → Read More: On To Mockingjay

The Hunger Games

Yesterday I started reading The Hunger Games at 4pm and, with the exception of time out for when Syracuse was playing, I finished it at 1am. Wow. It was a fast moving, easy read, but also a very hard read. (I did dream about being the head of my own post apocalyptic world after trying . . . → Read More: The Hunger Games

When I Used To Go To The Ocean

When I used to go to the ocean one time every year for vacation, I would, along with my girls, leap from the car without unloading a thing, burst open the front door of the cottage and run straight through it, out the back door and just stop. Stunned. Stunned at the majesty of the . . . → Read More: When I Used To Go To The Ocean

Ye Ole Neighborhood

It’s been a rough week. Lots of appointments and commitments, but also some revisiting of old ghosts. After you’ve worked hard, moved on after loss, restructured your life, made new goals, you end up a little exhausted. That leaves you vulnerable. When you’re vulnerable, things you fought and thought you came to terms with in . . . → Read More: Ye Ole Neighborhood

Nuts N’ Bolts

Today in yoga we had a guest teacher who shared a fascinating story. She told of someone who had completely obliterated their ankle. They had it put back together with a lot of screws and plates. Then they did Bikram. Sitting in fixed firm pose completely healed the ankle. The plates and screws began finding . . . → Read More: Nuts N’ Bolts

Morning Pages

Today was my 370th morning page. Morning pages are supposed to help writers keep the creativity alive. The rules are: 1. Write as soon as you wake up 2. At least 3 longhand pages – I have to write on my phone due to hand pain with a pen 3. Don’t look over what you . . . → Read More: Morning Pages

Don’t Be Small

“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine……Hide it under a bushel, no! I’m gonna let it shine.”

The words of the the old Sunday school children’s song applies as much in my adult world, as it did in my childhood one. When I was 8 I thought it meant share your faith . . . → Read More: Don’t Be Small
