I entered a yoga studio for the first time a little over a year ago as part of my preparations for a Women’s Quest retreat (Vermont, Sep 2007). I knew the retreat would include daily yoga and, not being one to ever come unprepared for ANYTHING, I wanted to have an understanding of the basics. [...]

Friday Fill-Ins
Posted in Inner Landscapes on June 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Ran across a blogger this week who posts a weekly “fill-in-the-blank” sort of meme called Friday Fill-Ins…
Birthdays are fun and scary, especially when people start talking about the “down side of hills” in association with your birthday (I have one of those “pushing hills” kinds of birthdays coming up on July 2)
Spring is [...]
Intentional Thursday
Posted in Intention on June 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In just a few short weeks, I’m off to New Mexico for the Taos Writer’s Retreat offered by Jennifer Louden and Suzanne Falter-Barnes. To give myself a jump start, I’m reading Jennifer’s latest book, The Life Organizer, which is essentially a planner – but not the sort of planner you’re probably used to. It’s more [...]
Open Your Garden Gate

A few days ago, I picked up a book by an artist named Sabrina Ward Harrison called Spilling Open. The book chronicles Sabrina’s artistic and poetic journey between the ages of 18 and 23 and it has completely blown me away. At 18, this young woman was going through many of the self-realizations I’m just [...]
Loving the Current of Life
Posted in Spirituality on June 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »
One of my spiritual teachers often speaks of the river of life. He says the current is swift these days and we have to choose whether we’re going to ride it out and see where it takes us or struggle against it in hopes of heading back upstream or reaching the side.
Evenstar reminded me today [...]
Battling Worry
Posted in Reinventing on June 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
When I passed my 100th post a few days ago, I had a little panic attack. I’ve been wanting to rethink some things on my blog and that 100th post seemed to say to me, “it’s too late – you can’t change now!” What if people don’t update their blogrolls and bookmarks? What if nobody [...]
Sacred Summer Sunshine

I don’t seem to have alot of words today for some reason, so am just going to share some pictures I caught while enjoying the sunshine this beautiful weekend…
Shimmering leaves…
Indian Paintbrush brightening an otherwise tired, gray bridge…
Oklahoma prairie grass of some kind, leaning into the trail to beg for a gentle caress…
I believe this is [...]
The Longest Day
Posted in Getting Outside on June 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Happy Summer Solstice!! I hope you were able to spend this long day doing the things you love to do and I hope some of those things took you outside!
I started the day with a little ritual, using a page from my Wrecked Journal. The book suggests tearing out this particular page and composting it. I [...]
Wishing for Wings

I have to confess that I love commercials. Well, some of them – I mean the really good ones that make you grab for tissue or fall on the floor laughing. I especially love the ones with a message – this one seems to be about finding wings. Course, it’s a lotto commercial, suggesting you need money [...]
Kindness is Contagious
Posted in Inspiration on June 16, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I ran across a post on HelpOthers.org in which the author (Michael Chase) describes how a turtle crossing the road led him to live a life based on simple kindness. He and his wife noticed the turtle bravely trying to cross a multi-lane freeway. At the urging of his wife, Chase pulled over, parked, and [...]
