I have a cool pink T-shirt that says “Beautiful Disaster” on it. Every time I wear it I always think how could a disaster be beautiful? Today I found out. You know how it is with exercise – maybe today, maybe tomorrow, consistency wains. For the last two and half years I have knocked . . . → Read More: 5 Days & A Beautiful Disaster “To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.” ~ Mother Teresa When I first read this quote my mind flitted to the word “replenish”. What do I need to replenish everyday? I need to replenish my mind, my body and my spirit. My mind needs the stimulation of new ideas. . . . → Read More: The Lights Of Our Days Eleven years ago I fell in love with a car. I’ll never forget that day. I had the first Honda CRV that came out and I brought it down for a service. It was the only SUV I ever had. I always drove Accords. I hated that “truck”, as I called it.

That’s usually my indicator that the universe is communicating something when it appears in many unrelated places. Today I was enjoying my workout on the Koko smart trainer.

I was . . . → Read More: Limits..or Not In preparing for tomorrow’s bible study, the lesson asked me to write down what I thought the definition of loyalty was. I wrote: “Sticking with a person or thing, no matter what.” Good, but not quite good enough. The definition in the lesson was: “To be firm, be steadfast, be established, be faithful, be sure, . . . → Read More: Loyalty – A New Twist I’m making my way, one more time, through Melody Beattie’s “More…The Language of Letting Go”. At least this time I understand the concept. At least this time I have made huge progress in that elusive, but necessary, part of life. The arrangement of the topics over the last three days caught my interest. March . . . → Read More: Manna + Trappings = Peace “Do something. You’re NOT DEAD YET. As author Barbara Sher says, ‘It’s only too late if you don’t start now.’ Or if you prefer my version, ‘Quit your bitching. Change your life.’ Don’t be the hag at your own party.
