Great, Unsearchable Truths

When I opened my eyes to the morning light at about 6 am, God was right there with a message. “There’s a new software update waiting to be downloaded into your soul”. I sat up, put each foot to the floor to the words “Thank…you”, and proceeded downstairs for my morning tea to wait for . . . → Read More: Great, Unsearchable Truths

Soaps

This past year my children have been laughing at my new “soap addiction”. Everyday, I get home from yoga, shower and sit down with lunch and the newspaper. It just so happens this particular soap, The Young and The Restless, is on at just about that time.

I watched the very first episode with . . . → Read More: Soaps

Jealousy

Jealousy…..this is a topic I have been avoiding on my journey for months. I never viewed myself as a jealous person. If anyone else alluded to me being jealous, I could never, never see how that could apply to me. Until now.

My six month journey has been about facing the fear of loss. . . . → Read More: Jealousy

Last of the Fire…

This is what is known at our house as “girls weekend”. For the fifth year in a row our daughter has had a reunion with her “college crowd”. This year our older daughter and her friend joined them. We cook for them, make drinks, have campfire time, go to the beach with them, be their . . . → Read More: Last of the Fire…

Walking

Walking the beach is something I do almost daily. I do it when I’m down. I do it when I’m up. I do it when I’m in the middle. To me, the beach represents heaven on Earth. It calms my spirits, lifts my spirits, and straightens out my sometimes twisted thinking. One meditation this week . . . → Read More: Walking

One Of Those Days

Today was “one of those days”. Not the kind where one thing just seems to go wrong after another. Those kind of days are engaging, energizing, and usually leave me with a sense of some kind of accomplishment.

This day was one of those super-low to no energy days. The kind I used to . . . → Read More: One Of Those Days

The Here and Now

“Be here now. This is truly the only place you need to be. And from this place, all things are possible.” ~ Melody Beattie

Live in the moment. Live for today. Live in the here and now. These are concepts I’ve always had difficulty with. I’m always looking at the past, wanting to change . . . → Read More: The Here and Now

Slip Slidin’ Away….

….the downside of the beach path. When I wrote the “Footprints in the Sand” blog not too many days ago, I was standing at the top of the beach path, feeling mighty victorious. I savored my victory, knowing that soon I’d have to begin the descent to the beach below. I also know this sand . . . → Read More: Slip Slidin’ Away….

The Sport of Chair Surfing

The summer temperatures on Cape Cod rarely reach 90. When Boston and the inland areas are 90, the Cape is usually at nice 80 with a sea breeze. (Which is also a top-notch drink my husband makes for the beach – but that’s another story) Today at approximately 1:45 there was breaking news on the . . . → Read More: The Sport of Chair Surfing

A New Victory

I have been dreading going to yoga on these summer days since March. I kept remembering the trouble breathing that came with the rise in humidity. I was so happy that by the end of January I had the breath mastered and no longer feared the frantic panic. I hadn’t taken a knee since late . . . → Read More: A New Victory
