This week my meditation has been about working on The Basics. What I learned today touches on what I was writing about yesterday. Yesterday I wrote about self-appreciation and self-care. In my focus on the basics this past week, a lot of what I read was about taking care of oneself being a basic step . . . → Read More: Relief!

“You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.” – Mevlana Jelalu’ddin Rumi We are all put . . . → Read More: Why Were We Born? I recently made a new friend at the writer’s workshop I attended on Saturday. She friended me on Facebook. I was reading through her page and found this: “There are three things you can’t hide: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” Just this morning, while watching the news, my husband and I were discussing . . . → Read More: Three Things Believe it or not, today in the Cape Cod Times I read about two Gods. It seems most everyone, with the exception of the Atheists, believes in one sovereign God that connects with His people in many different ways called religions. Many religions, still one God. The two Gods I read about today are different . . . → Read More: Two Gods? Really? I just arrived home on Friday and hadn’t been to yoga in over a week.

As I sat in my quiet time, just feeling God’s presence, letting Him read and interpret what was on my heart, I was lead to just . . . → Read More: Prayerful Listening In October I have been led through the values of challenges, integrity, power in action, and most recently, gratitude. The value for this first week in November is prayer. Melody Beattie started out by describing her first prayer experience as making a phone call expecting to get an answering machine and guess who picked up? . . . → Read More: Not In The Cards This week I am in NY, away from my yoga studio. I brought an mp3 version of the class with me on my phone, thinking I could use it at the NY apartment. The apartment is very small and heated with a pellet stove. This morning I closed all the doors and actually got the . . . → Read More: Change Takes On A New Look If there is one word all artists fear, it’s that one: blocked. To struggle to make art, to feel things inside that need to come out, and to have this go on for days, then weeks, then months, and then it finally dawns on you: blocked. Now comes the tedium of finding the cause of . . . → Read More: Blocked |
