Melody Beattie knows more about life and what makes us do the things we do than any other writer on such things that I have ever read.

Today was an odd kind of Christmas day. I had to drive my daughter back to Boston for work tomorrow, after which I proceeded to the cape, followed by my husband, where we will spend the rest of the holiday week. After I dropped her off and headed south on 95 towards Cape Cod, my . . . → Read More: Christmas Trip This morning I found the best solution for describing and dealing with the chatter we let go on in our minds, that eventually takes over how we act, which in turn determines how we feel. In Bikram yoga we often talk about shutting down the chatter in our mind that tries to incite panic and . . . → Read More: Quiet The Chatter Tuesday I had a really bad Bikram class. My arms were just not performing and I was weak and fatigued. I knew it was going to be a tough because I did fit club on Monday morning, Bikram Monday night, and was back in the studio in less than 15 hours. I tried to be . . . → Read More: Blame: Put It On The Mat A friend posted the following on Facebook yesterday afternoon…… It really made me stop and think and it drove a few points home that have crossed my mind over the past few days. There's a lot being discussed and written about gun control as a result of the Connecticut tragedy. It's the same . . . → Read More: Profound…. Today my husband left to go back to NY early due to impending bad weather. I had a long list of things to keep me busy until we would watch the Pats game together tonight by texting. I went to the store. Did the usual cleaning and laundry, and then just didn’t want to do . . . → Read More: Only So Much Time Waking up to the morning news, for me, and I’m sure for you, began a day of processing unthinkable tragedy. I read a lot of Facebook posts, in addition to what the news stations offered. The one that held a beautiful message was by Jennifer Boykin, author of a blog I follow, Life After Tampons. . . . → Read More: And Now, What? It’s been seven weeks now integrating Bikram yoga with Koko fit club. The first four weeks the two just did not get along and there were many nasty days in the sandbox. These last three weeks have been quite uneventful. They are playing nice together. I do think it’s going to be a good marriage. . . . → Read More: It’s A Good Marriage This morning I was listening to Ryan Seacrest’s Top Forty on the radio as I was driving. I like the interviews with the artists interspersed between the songs on the countdown. I was negotiating my parking spot at The Christmas Tree Shop and caught the last sentence of someone’s interview. I didn’t get the name . . . → Read More: Nobody But Me Tonight I’m reading “Charming Lily” by Fern Michaels. It’s not very well-written, but I am enjoying the storyline. One character, in the midst of his conflict, is very spiritually oriented and uses the phrase “Throw it out to the universe and see what comes back to you.” The two times so far, when his back . . . → Read More: Throw It Out To The Universe |
