Albert Schweitzer was a smart man. He said: “Do something everyday for which you don’t get paid.” I do this blog everyday and sometimes I’m asked if I make any money writing it. All last year I struggled with Google Analytics and ways to “market” my blog better. I came to the conclusion that word . . . → Read More: What Can I Do Today? I was having a great Bikram class this morning. When we got to eagle, the teacher stopped the class and told me, as she had on one other day, that I needed to bend forward while bending my knees. I usually just do what she tells me to, but this time I was confused. In . . . → Read More: We’re Never Done Due to the late Patriot game last night, today I opted for 6 pm yoga. It’s dangerous to do this because I run the risk of that “maybe not” feeling around 4:30. My way to get around that is to think of the experience I had at my last 6 pm class about a month . . . → Read More: 6 pm Tolerance is something I blogged about early in the first year of this blog. I have a small banner hanging in my serenity room with the Dalai Lama’s definition of tolerance on it. The thing I like most about this definition is the part where it says people who practice this sleep well at night. . . . → Read More: Tolerance, Revisited “Once one has encountered God everything has changed. One does not lead a charmed life – but it is amazing how charming the commonplace can become. One still has heavy work to do, but one works with assurance and poise.

I’ve written it for two years, through good times and bad. I made a commitment to do it every day, with the intention of examining my writing and becoming a better writer through that commitment. Something else happened that I didn’t count on. The writing helped me . . . → Read More: I Can Do Hard Things “I don’t believe in the phrase ‘guilty pleasure.’ Pleasure by definition has no guilt, for pleasure is a feeling pleased, happy, gratified and content. One shouldn’t feel guilt while experiencing happiness and contentment.” – David Lovejoy I tend to agree with Mr. Lovejoy and Paul, my gratitude guru. Paul made an excellent point today . . . → Read More: Guilty Pleasures…Or Not! I have been working on pre-judgement for a long time now. I know myself so well, that I just KNOW I will not like this or that. When I saw the commercials for the impending new talk show Katie, I just KNEW I wasn’t going to like it. I just KNEW I’d never have a . . . → Read More: Katie (as in, Couric) “Show”, don’t “tell” is a cardinal rule of the written page. If an author does not completely climb into the characters head and “let go”, readers will pick that up immediately and just as immediately probably put the book down because no emotional connection has been made. As a reader, you can always tell when . . . → Read More: Writer’s Rules “When was the last time you told your story?” – Question put to the sick by a Native American Medicine Man. If that was a question put to the sick, it leads me to think that “telling one’s story” is somehow healing. This must be why, when someone sees us hurt or struggling or . . . → Read More: When Was the Last Time? |
