There is a shift happening on our planet...a major shift. And I feel myself moving to new places....I'm not 'myself' for 'myself' is changing. As I feel the 'old' in my world coming up again, feelings, situations that I recognize, I realize they are the mirages I need to catapult me elsewhere.....somewhere more fitting for [...]
I'm wondering a bit at the time it takes to reinvent your world. A tad hard to determine in exact measure, but it certainly takes awhile. And for me, it sets any old routines a-kilter a bit...and frankly, I'm rather fond of 'a-kilter'. I like creating new, bold strokes, moving with some speed. Yet, this [...]
Rise from the very beliefs, habits, associations, which hold us back from our true desires and potential. Might nature guide us back to the places where we feel most alive? Might sitting with our breath awhile remind us of other places we might arrive within ourselves? I have felt over the last weeks the pull [...]
I began this week vetching (maybe) about what I perceive as authenticity and struggle. I am working through coaxing the first to emerge within myself organically, (yes, in a culture less accepting of differences) and I'm sitting this morning, (with gorgeous dogwood trees, my favorite, just outside my window), considering the true gifts around what [...]
I try not to judge though I have my preconceptions and certainly prejudices. Or, is it preferences? My mother was the absolute LEAST judgmental person I've yet to meet. She could poke fun at herself though ALWAYS found something to praise in EVERYONE. And, when I had a crisis to face in my life....life IS [...]
This quote graced my inbox this morning.... "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for [...]
Be the change.... Be the change.... Be the change.... [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEvSJlRc9kM&w=480&h=390] Symbols everywhere. Open those precious eyes. It's all here for us. Be the change you want to see! Be the change. Really, all one has to do to transform their life, is remind themselves to think and behave a little bit differently, each day. [...]
'Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level'. Eileen Caddy. We all need reminders, helpmates, support, champions, someone to carry our 'clubs' from time to time. And these 'caddys,' champions...they come in such varied flavors. We need only open our eyes, listen, feel with our [...]
I am frustrated in this moment. I don't like the feeling of disconnect when I am working in earnest to share a perspective, create a solution when asked, or have a moment of rest......and I am tired. The lists travel into my future like adding machine read outs....one into the next, into the next until [...]
So many roles he's played over the years. He's special. As a backdrop to some evening work earlier this week, I watched 'Sling Blade' with Billy Bob Thornton, (another peach of an actor). Robert Duvall as his father was brilliant. (And Dwight Yokam the perfect manipulative, arrogant, self serving, pushy ass, covering an insecure, misdirected [...]
