“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” ~ Roman Philosopher, Seneca Happy Sunday, Journeyer, Wow…it has been quite the whirlwind week. Rain and sun and wind and frost. That about sums up my fleeting moments of happy, Journeyer, noticing the warmth of the sun, the colors of the morning sky, the birds, the floating leaves, the much-needed rains, and … Read More
The Art of Life Spilled Over
Happy Sunday, Journeyer, This past week I opened the microwave door to find my lunch bowl of oatmeal boiled over. Already running late, I could easily have gotten all upset about the necessity to now do a little cleaning before I returned to work. There might have been a second of irritation before I noticed the artistic patterns that formed … Read More
At the Intersection of Passion, Persistence, and Partnerships
Happy Sunday, Journeyer, Life is as Life does, and this week has been a culmination of highs and hopes, lows and losses. I read a social media post that reminded me of that depressed time in my life when I seemed to perceive my entire life as Depressed. What continually kept me hopeful, however, were my journals, for when I … Read More
Energy Reset
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! Right now I am a puddle of nothingness and everything-ness, so this post is likely to be quick and to the point. You see, I spent a few delicious hours pampering myself earlier today. Yep. You just gotta do it now and again. I’ve been hearing RAVE reviews about a new local spa and wellness center called … Read More
Healing and the Two Sides of Karma
Today I came a cross an unfamiliar quote from Sandra Bullock, one of my favorite actresses, “I’m a true believer in Karma. You get what you give, whether it’s bad or good.” This past summer I worked with a life coach who helped me understand some of the negative “karmic life patterns” that are a part of my genetic code, or Human … Read More
By the Light of a Full Moon
Happy Monday-Tuesday, Journeyer! Last week is such a blur and when I reviewed my calendar notes and my week’s photos, everything seems as if the events were eons ago. I contribute that to two things: The beautiful full moon and the breathtaking training I am proud to have been a part of this past weekend. Emerging Full Moons have a … Read More
Happiness Lives Between Me and I
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! This past week has been a combination of everything. Excitement! Fear. Flu-like symptoms. Friendship. Learning. Love. Laughter. Reading. Sadness. Worry about loved ones who ran into some difficult times. Writing. Strange as it might sound, my week hasn’t felt like the roller-coaster ride you might think after reading this list above! It’s a good thing because some … Read More
Healing and The Two Sides of Dirty Laundry
I have a confession to make, one that might make you pee a little. I was a minute late to my Other Job the other day. It seems I’m always later than I want to be-wherever it is I’m going-and unless I work really, really hard at being on time, I am five minutes late. I’ve often joked that I’m … Read More
Happiness Comes When We See with Fresh Eyes (and all our senses)
Happy Sunday-Monday, Journeyer!! This morning I woke up ruminating on all kinds of problems. Some people can’t fall asleep at night because they can’t seem to shut their minds off. I used to have the problem and then, out of a sense of desperation, I began doing what I later learned was a form of self-hypnosis. More than ten years … Read More
