In many ways this entire weekend was sacred to me. I went to a Meditation workshop (part of my Yoga Teacher Training) that started on Saturday with a fasting program – just warm water with lemon and a bit of maple syrup and cayenne pepper. I ended up fasting all weekend, which is something I’ve never really [...]

I’ve been devoting some time lately to art journaling and am finding it so liberating. It’s a place where anything goes – so much so that the blank page can seem overwhelming at times (as in, so many choices I don’t know where to begin). But, I’ve been on a spurt and here are some [...]
Year of the One
Posted in Inner Landscapes, tagged new beginnings on March 26, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been working on Carolyn Myss’ “Anatomy of the Spirit” for the past several weeks. It’s a tough read for me because it requires alot (A LOT) of soul-searching – something I’ve needed to do for a long time, but something I tend to put off.
This week, I’ve been reading about the 4th Chakra (heart). [...]
Sacred Life Sunday: Meeting Divinity
Posted in Sacred Sunday on March 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It was such a beautiful spring day here. I found myself stopping in my tracks over and over all day, just to take it in. It was like finding “god in Simplicity.”
——————–
As a child I walked
with noisy fingers
along the hemline
of so many meadows
back home
Green fabric
stretched out
shy earth
shock of sky
I’d sit on logs like pulpits
listen to [...]
Step to the Right of your Left Hemisphere
Posted in Inspiration, tagged Jill Bolte Taylor, stroke on March 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
At 37, Neuroanatomist, Jill Bolte Taylor suffered a stroke that effectively disabled the left hemisphere of her brain – shutting down the list maker, the critic, the worrier, the organizer, the planner. The stroke allowed Jill to connect fully and completely with the right hemisphere of her brain – the part that understands its connection [...]

More “Just Say No”
Posted in Family on March 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday, I wrote about saying No to fears, to things that hold me back, to things that just don’t serve me. What I didn’t include was saying No to family, which is the hardest No of all! Recently my daughter asked me to cosign a loan for a house – Hubby and I said No.
We [...]
Just Say No
Posted in Creativity on March 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I have a little trouble with the word “no.” I just don’t say it very well. If someone asks me for a favor, asks me to volunteer for something, asks to borrow something… I say, “sure, no problem” even if I’m thinking “I’d really rather not.”
I’ve been working in my art journal the past couple of days [...]
Dating Hubby

Hubby took me on a date last night!
We saw this movie and absolutely loved it. Lots of action, lots of traveling to distant lands (mostly without the aid of airplanes), and a little bit of very sweet love story. It was a really fun movie!
Then we had El Chico (not so healthy, but [...]
More Suzi Blu

Here I go with another Suzi Blu clip, but I just love this woman’s spirit sooooo much! I’ve been worrying ALOT lately about it being too late to try certain things (like going back to school, or writing creatively, or exploring my artistic side, or posting scandalous pictures on my blog ). But, as [...]
