Just Get Through This Day

How many times do we start our day with this prayer:

"Please Lord, just let me get through this day!"

There are so many days, when upon awakening and our feet have barely graced the floor, that we're praying for the moment that we we can climb right back into that bed. "Getting through" the . . . → Read More: Just Get Through This Day

About Those Horoscopes

All my life I've loved reading my horoscope. When I was twelve I sincerely believed it would forecast my future. By the time I was twenty, I was certain it did. It took a few more years before the generality of horoscopes became apparent to me.

Today I still enjoy them. Sometimes they provide . . . → Read More: About Those Horoscopes

Being A Newbie

I always hated being a newbie.  I always hated people watching me struggle to figure out something new.  Worse yet, I always hated asking for help and following directions.  Today was my first day going to Koko fit club to work out on my own.  I joined on Thursday, but worked with a person to . . . → Read More: Being A Newbie

A Book Vacation

This has been a long week. You know the kind. I've been out day and night all week and then had some really difficult issues leaning in on me emotionally. I also joined Koko fit club, in addition to Bikram yoga everyday. I've finally reached the point in the yoga where I could definitely handle . . . → Read More: A Book Vacation

You ARE Your Thoughts

Today in yoga the instructor was trying to help new people stay in the room by encouraging them not to buy into the things their mind was telling them. He said, "You are not your thoughts." That sounded a little out of sync to me, even though I understood his intentions.

In effect, I . . . → Read More: You ARE Your Thoughts

Quakes

It all started last night at 7:35 when a news bulletin popped up on the screen of my phone announcing the earthquake here in New England. The quake was in Maine, so down here on Cape Cod I didn't even feel the tremor, but it left me just a bit wary anyway.

Then, this . . . → Read More: Quakes

4 Mats In A Hot Room

This morning my Bikram yoga buddies and I set up our camps and then went back out in the lobby. When we entered the room again, my friend said, "Oh! The mats look so pretty!" They did, and, of course my mind took off. Here's where it went:

TMI

Just the fact that I could check so many categories for this post proves my point before I even state it. A few months ago I was information, direction, and "how to" starved. Now, today, I'm in Too Much Information overload. I'm involved in two challenges, trying to jump start both my business and writing . . . → Read More: TMI

I Gave Them My Power

Did you ever read something and feel so fervently that it was written about you that not even one word would have to be changed to apply it to your life? Today I did. In my morning meditation I came across this by Tom Walsh:

"This is possibly one of the most liberating concepts I've . . . → Read More: I Gave Them My Power

Banana Plants – Literally!

My husband commutes to the Cape from NY every weekend. When he arrives on Friday night, I hold the door open while he brings in his gear. Last night he went back out to his truck after bringing in the last suitcase. He came to the door with a six foot potted banana plant. "Surprise!", . . . → Read More: Banana Plants – Literally!
