“A Messy Process”

February 2nd, 2010

My yoga teacher, Lezlie, sent me the following quote last night. I read it a couple of times. It seems to hit the nail on the head…
A Messy Process
Evolution is a messy process. So anybody who really wants to make the effort to strive for something new is going to have to be willing to [...]

Sleep right
Poop right

 BUT…

Perspective and Introspection…Are You Game?

January 6th, 2010

Scanning through the morning mail and seeing this statement jerked me back into reality:
“I’m very pleased with each advancing year. It stems back to when I was forty. I was a bit upset about reaching that milestone, but an older friend consoled me. ‘Don’t complain about growing old – many, many people do not have [...]

Plan…or Allow?

December 3rd, 2009

A couple messages this morning, one from Jack Canfield, the other from Dr. Mercola, communicated a similar message: PLAN.  Interesting that this afternoon I heard still yet a contrasting message: ALLOW. Which is it? Plan or allow?
  “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” communicates a strong message. If you fail to plan enough [...]

"Your Life is Right Now"

August 14th, 2009

What a wonderful morning reminder from Abraham to wake up to this morning:
“Your life is right now! It’s not later! It’s not in that time of retirement. It’s not when the lover gets here. It’s not when you’ve moved into the new house. It’s not when you get the better job. Your life is right [...]

"It's a Grand Ole Flag"

July 23rd, 2009

Meant to post this when I returned home last night…oops!  :  )
I am in Jasper, Indiana, once again working on my second book, Fat, Fatigued, and Female, with Dr. Whitney Gabhart, N.D. We have had a very full day, so we decided to take a break before dinner.
After getting quiet for a little bit, I [...]

Regret…or Working on a Dream?

June 25th, 2009

Martha Beck got my heart pumping this morning while reading the following article on oprah.com: “Who’s Sorry Now? Six steps to regret-proof your life.”
Bruce Springsteen’s “Working on a Dream” puts me in the zone…
“I’m working on a dream
Though sometimes it feels so far away
I’m working on a dream
And I know it will be mine someday…”
What [...]

"A Lot of Livin' To Do"

June 22nd, 2009

Forty years ago my husband’s class of 1969 turned their tassels to walk into the world…full of dreams, hopes, and ambitions. It has been two days since the reunion, and I still haven’t recovered from all that soaked into my eyes and senses that night. What happened to those dreams? How did life pass so [...]

"The Ride Is Worth It"

June 17th, 2009

I just watched a short video clip in which Esther Hicks/Abraham was asked, “Why do dogs hang their heads out of car windows when they can get bugs in their eyes?”
Her answer, “There is going to be contrast. The ride is worth it.”
What a beautiful analogy to help us wake up and enjoy the [...]

Fill Your Life to Full

June 12th, 2009

Today is the last day on the beach with my granddaughter and daughter. I intend to fill it to full. As I write these words, it occurs to me, isn’t every day our last day on the beach? What if we treated it as if it were? Would we then live our lives to full?
Time [...]
