It’s a really really dark rainy Sunday morning. The dark is dark enough to keep the sensor candles in my windows illuminating each room of the house with golden warmth. A candle flickers on the mantle, blinking at me as I write. A pot of chili is simmering on the stove and the Patriots play . . . → Read More: I Just Want To Read

Today there was a cold drizzle falling when I got home after yoga. I knew there would be no outside shower. The time has come. I went out to collect my shower caddy and bring it upstairs to the tub. I turned on the water and as it hit the bottom of the tub for . . . → Read More: Outside Shower On Monday I started a 100 day challenge. No, yoga buddies, it’s not for yoga. I may color outside of the lines once in awhile, but I’m not crazy. There’s no way I’m going to commit to yoga for 100 days. (That’s another blog – one I think I did write in the past.) No, . . . → Read More: 100 Day Challenge Albert Schweitzer was a smart man. He said: “Do something everyday for which you don’t get paid.” I do this blog everyday and sometimes I’m asked if I make any money writing it. All last year I struggled with Google Analytics and ways to “market” my blog better. I came to the conclusion that word . . . → Read More: What Can I Do Today? I was having a great Bikram class this morning. When we got to eagle, the teacher stopped the class and told me, as she had on one other day, that I needed to bend forward while bending my knees. I usually just do what she tells me to, but this time I was confused. In . . . → Read More: We’re Never Done Due to the late Patriot game last night, today I opted for 6 pm yoga. It’s dangerous to do this because I run the risk of that “maybe not” feeling around 4:30. My way to get around that is to think of the experience I had at my last 6 pm class about a month . . . → Read More: 6 pm Tolerance is something I blogged about early in the first year of this blog. I have a small banner hanging in my serenity room with the Dalai Lama’s definition of tolerance on it. The thing I like most about this definition is the part where it says people who practice this sleep well at night. . . . → Read More: Tolerance, Revisited Today my husband and daughter had Red Sox tickets. My daughter got them from work and wanted to take her dad. I came with him from the cape, and I’m sitting in the coolest bar ever while they are in the game. It’s called The Bleacher Bar because it’s in the stadium right under . . . → Read More: Notes From The Bleacher Bar “Once one has encountered God everything has changed. One does not lead a charmed life – but it is amazing how charming the commonplace can become. One still has heavy work to do, but one works with assurance and poise. One still has temptations to meet, but they have been robbed of their power. One . . . → Read More: God Goggles Today is the second anniversary of this blog. I’ve written it for two years, through good times and bad. I made a commitment to do it every day, with the intention of examining my writing and becoming a better writer through that commitment. Something else happened that I didn’t count on. The writing helped me . . . → Read More: I Can Do Hard Things |
