This week of putting values into action didn’t waste any time getting going. On Sunday, no sooner did I publish a blog telling God I wasn’t up for a game of catch with the “bombs”, when wham, out of the blue one struck. I immediately caught the bomb and tossed it back to God. . . . → Read More: Gauntlets – In Amazing Forms Recently I received a gift from a little boy, Owen, I had in my Young Authors’ Workshop this summer. It’s a book called “The Seaglass Hunter’s Handbook”. Owen and I shared a love of beach glass. We both are collector’s and he even taped two pieces of his collection to the inside cover. Inside . . . → Read More: Zen…Not What I Thought Today Sunday Morning (morning news show on CBS) was doing a piece on Coldplay. They were talking about the popular panda movies and the message of inner strength sent by the panda learning to catch the bombs and fling them back twice as hard. The concept naturally caught my mind and sent it spinning. . . . → Read More: Pitch N’ Catch Two weeks ago, when I was obsessed with moving my 14 pounds, I bought a small mini-stepper to help me burn extra calories.

What did you like about what you did? What didn’t you like that tomorrow you’d like to do better? SEE! Answering those questions wasn’t that hard. The way we need to inventory ourselves is fearlessly, . . . → Read More: Rock Solid Equation Silence has been a gift to me this past year. Back in March I blogged about one of my favorite authors, Ann LeClair and her latest book “Listening Below the Noise”. I read it in one day and her experience with silence over nineteen years helped me immensely straighten out the craziness going on in . . . → Read More: Silence Has Been Golden For Me “……something happens and things change… Once you experience something like that, you arrive at a new level and you can never go back. Have you ever felt that? What was it like? ” ~Paul Taubman Ironically, I found this quote in my inbox when I got out of yoga this morning. During class I experienced . . . → Read More: Sometimes….. Week one of October Gauntlets was about physical challenges. Week two is about taking inventory. The tenth month of a year long journey is a good place to focus on this. “Sometimes we need to take our own inventory to get out of an uncomfortable stuck place, to look at patterns and see what’s . . . → Read More: Week 2 – Taking Inventory In my mind I replaced the word gauntlets with challenges. I opened my back door this morning to welcome back the warm air for probably one last time before the cold takes over to sit out here with my tea, in the warm sun, and reflect back on how my first week of “challenge study” . . . → Read More: Oct Gauntlets – End of Week 1 |
