This week was so beautiful that I took an extra long beach walk. I read in my Sea Glass Hunter’s Handbook about all the quips and quirks people have for hunting beach glass. It said each person has their own “way” to find these treasures. I wondered what my own particular “way” was, so I . . . → Read More: Life, For Me, Really IS A Beach

This week of putting values into action didn’t waste any time getting going. On Sunday, no sooner did I publish a blog telling God I wasn’t up for a game of catch with the “bombs”, when wham, out of the blue one struck. I immediately caught the bomb and tossed it back to God. . . . → Read More: Gauntlets – In Amazing Forms Recently I received a gift from a little boy, Owen, I had in my Young Authors’ Workshop this summer. It’s a book called “The Seaglass Hunter’s Handbook”. Owen and I shared a love of beach glass. We both are collector’s and he even taped two pieces of his collection to the inside cover. Inside . . . → Read More: Zen…Not What I Thought Today Sunday Morning (morning news show on CBS) was doing a piece on Coldplay. They were talking about the popular panda movies and the message of inner strength sent by the panda learning to catch the bombs and fling them back twice as hard. The concept naturally caught my mind and sent it spinning. . . . → Read More: Pitch N’ Catch Two weeks ago, when I was obsessed with moving my 14 pounds, I bought a small mini-stepper to help me burn extra calories.

The way we need to inventory ourselves is fearlessly, . . . → Read More: Rock Solid Equation Silence has been a gift to me this past year. Back in March I blogged about one of my favorite authors, Ann LeClair and her latest book “Listening Below the Noise”. I read it in one day and her experience with silence over nineteen years helped me immensely straighten out the craziness going on in . . . → Read More: Silence Has Been Golden For Me Week one of October Gauntlets was about physical challenges. Week two is about taking inventory. The tenth month of a year long journey is a good place to focus on this. “Sometimes we need to take our own inventory to get out of an uncomfortable stuck place, to look at patterns and see what’s . . . → Read More: Week 2 – Taking Inventory Last evening I was talking (texting) to my dear friend in Pennsylvania about her kids in glee club, playing words with friends with my daughter in Boston and my two friends in NY, talking (texting) to my husband about a problem with his apps, reading a novel, writing yesterday’s blog, emailing back and forth with . . . → Read More: iTouch-ed Lives |
