Time & Seasons

Awhile back I wrote about the seven ways to wrestle in prayer. The first one was to seek wisdom from God. The second one was to rejoice in God’s time and seasons. That’s where I continued to get stuck. Rejoicing in God’s time and seasons means, to me, hands off – don’t worry about it. . . . → Read More: Time & Seasons

Yoga Quiet

After a very busy day I went to 4:30 Bikram yoga. I’ve been pretty consistent doing Bikram and Koko every other day, but today I did both. Usually when I come home from yoga I’m inspired and my head is filled with thoughts. Sometimes there are so many thoughts, I have to reign them in, . . . → Read More: Yoga Quiet

Limits..or Not

Limits have crossed my radar twice in two days. 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 in the middle of the chest press when my eyes caught the weight. I was . . . → Read More: Limits..or Not

Loyalty – A New Twist

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

Manna + Trappings = Peace

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

Will YOU “Begin”?

“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. Stop hurting yourself. If your thinking isn’t working for you, change your mind. Or . . . → Read More: Will YOU “Begin”?

The Picture You Paint

This morning I was surprised by about 4 inches of snow. On my drive to fit club, I was marveling at the picture it painted on the arc of trees over my road. It was beautiful. That’s when it dawned on me. I have a choice as to how my mind paints this picture. I . . . → Read More: The Picture You Paint

A Bit of Strengthening

Do you know those times when you pray and pray for something important and nothing, just nothing, seems to be happening? You start thinking maybe you should just stop praying because it isn’t doing any good. I experience this all the time when praying for something that seems like it’s never going end. And then . . . → Read More: A Bit of Strengthening

St. Patty’s Day Enlightenment

St. Patrick was a courageous kind of guy. He was captured and taken hostage at a young age. His captors took him from his homeland in Britain to Ireland and kept him in prison for years. During his imprisonment, he claims to have had a dream in which God spoke to him and told him . . . → Read More: St. Patty’s Day Enlightenment

Yoga Doesn’t Grab You…

…until your body is face down flat on the ground, fists pounding and legs kicking. Your mind has run off over the horizon and your spirit has vacated to hover just below the clouds. Yoga means the union of the body, mind and spirit. When the mind and spirit have vacated the premises and left . . . → Read More: Yoga Doesn’t Grab You…
