Abundance – A Whole Lotta Nothin’

Last fall I wrote about working on the I Ching of Gain and was having quite a problem with that, since it concerned getting a handle on one’s money. I took it off after 5 months and set it by my bathroom sink. There it sat for 8 more months next to the toothpaste. I’m . . . → Read More: Abundance – A Whole Lotta Nothin’

The Crux of Forgiveness

In my journey through forgiveness, I have failed to ask the one important question that lends credence to the three sides of forgiveness I have explored. That question is: “What is forgiveness?”

The only way to answer this question is to come from a place of experience. I once made a huge mistake. Though it . . . → Read More: The Crux of Forgiveness

A Place I’ve Never Been Before

On The Voice last week, Celo Green picked a country artist. He said he wanted to go to a place where he's never been.

These past few weeks in yoga, our teachers have been asking us to "go to a place we've never been before" in each pose. They tell us to push until we . . . → Read More: A Place I’ve Never Been Before

The Third Side of Forgiveness

Not long ago I wrote a blog about the two sides of forgiveness. Since then, a good friend pointed out that there is a third side to forgiveness, so I spent some time thinking about her words. Today I came across this:

“Time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate . . . → Read More: The Third Side of Forgiveness

God Does Yoga Too

I haven’t spoken about my yoga experience for quite some time now. There was just the need to keep on practicing and watch things change and evolve over time. Just last week I noticed a new development in my practice. My practice used to be very studio centered, even though I would take what I . . . → Read More: God Does Yoga Too

Angel of Patience

On Saturday my husband and I spent the day doing our annual spring ritual of putting up the screens on the garage, turning it into a summer room. This involves total garage and shed emptying and cleaning. I enjoy the way my husband and I go about this, working in perfect tandem with each other . . . → Read More: Angel of Patience

Using Deference.

Deference has become my word of the hour. Tonight….I’m quieting myself, stepping back, and not thinking. The mind needs a “day off” sometimes to let the lessons previously learned sink in and take hold.

And so, as another day goes by, I will hold my thoughts close tonight so as not to deplete their . . . → Read More: Using Deference.

Rising One More Time

Today’s message went like this: “Still, it is the heart’s capacity to rise one more time after falling down, no matter how bruised, that verifies such a drive within us, too.”

Today my hospice patient passed away and once again I am called upon to shoulder loss. It is safe to say “I feel like . . . → Read More: Rising One More Time

“Can’t Live….

..if livin’ is without you….” Last night on American Idol James Durbin resurrected a song, that back in college, in 1971, literally changed the way I thought about life. I remember, during my freshman year, that song was playing when one of my roommates walked into the room. I was singing along with the song, . . . → Read More: “Can’t Live….

Cheering for Death

My television show Sunday evening was interrupted with the news of Bin-Laden’s death. I sat there stunned and just tried to take in the meaning of what I had just heard. In fact, it has taken me two days to process the contents of that news break and all the subsequent ones that followed. Nothing . . . → Read More: Cheering for Death
