November 12th, 2011 Sitting here watching the Penn State game and feeling bad, just so bad….for the students, especially the seniors (it’s senior day), Joe Pa, the alumni, and…most especially the victims. It’s a tremendous tearing down for all affected. Everyone will be changed by the heartbreak of it all. Next, the healing will have to begin. The . . . → Read More: General Malaise
November 11th, 2011 The new book, The Secret Lives of Wives by Iris Krasnow, is making it’s way around the talk show circuit. Today the author was on The Talk just as my husband walked in from work. Ms. Krasnow was making the statement “today women don’t need a man. We have sperm banks….” My husband took great . . . → Read More: Secret Lives
November 10th, 2011 This week my meditation has been about working on The Basics. What I learned today touches on what I was writing about yesterday. Yesterday I wrote about self-appreciation and self-care. In my focus on the basics this past week, a lot of what I read was about taking care of oneself being a basic step . . . → Read More: Relief!
November 9th, 2011 “You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.”

November 7th, 2011 Believe it or not, today in the Cape Cod Times I read about two Gods. It seems most everyone, with the exception of the Atheists, believes in one sovereign God that connects with His people in many different ways called religions. Many religions, still one God. The two Gods I read about today are different . . . → Read More: Two Gods? Really?
November 6th, 2011 I just arrived home on Friday and hadn’t been to yoga in over a week. Even though I worked out at the gym while away, it just didn’t attend to the “screws loose in my head” like yoga does. I usually don’t go on the weekend because the classes are at 8 am and it’s . . . → Read More: The Heart’s Eye
November 5th, 2011 The wisdom waiting in what Churchill says is that we live like hungry fisherman: sewing and casting our nets, though we never really know what they will catch, never really know what will feed us until it is brought aboard. And the Buddhists say, to be a good fisherman, you must detach yourself from the . . . → Read More: Fishing – Now I Get It
November 4th, 2011 Today I drove back to the cape, after staying one extra day in NY. I left at 9 am and my husband will follow me this evening. Arriving home, after being gone for a week, there was no food so the store was first in the agenda. I had to hurry to Stop N Shop . . . → Read More: Appreciation Day
November 2nd, 2011 In October I have been led through the values of challenges, integrity, power in action, and most recently, gratitude. The value for this first week in November is prayer. Melody Beattie started out by describing her first prayer experience as making a phone call expecting to get an answering machine and guess who picked up? . . . → Read More: Not In The Cards
October 31st, 2011 This week I am in NY, away from my yoga studio. I brought an mp3 version of the class with me on my phone, thinking I could use it at the NY apartment. The apartment is very small and heated with a pellet stove. This morning I closed all the doors and actually got the . . . → Read More: Change Takes On A New Look
