Paris, sisterhood and new experiences. The beginning of our trip began with many threats – a strike by French Air traffic controllers, a strike by taxis in Paris and a country wide heat wave. There could not have been a less auspicious start to our holiday abroad! So I got a little informed. I spent […]
Why are You in My Way?
“If you think you are too small to make a difference…try sleeping with a mosquito in the room” ~attributed to HHDL Why are you in my way? I get so upset when I can’t do what I want to the way I want to when I want to and how I want to! But is […]
Tortoise as a Verb
What do you do with the in between time? That’s the time after one dream has left and another has yet to manifest. How is NOW properly propagated to pull yourself forward to your next dream. Well, first you have got to get a dream! What if there seems to be no dream on the […]
Judge-Mentle
“We treat love and hate and the other emotions like they are all on the same level, but they’re not. Hate, fear, lust, greed, jealousy – all that comes from the ego. Only love comes from the soul. When you identify with your soul, you live in a loving universe. The soul loves everybody. It’s […]
Pain into Champagne
“I am going to tell story with great meaning. I am going to make you cry, then make you laugh.” ~ me to myself after dreaming strange things. I keep hearing “Turn Pain into Champagne.” Heard it a while back over a period of a few days. And then there was this dream this morning. In […]
Contemplation vs Meditation
Letting go of what arises to clear the way for listening
Raw Clarity
How clarity messes up everything I already know. Is it bad when you are shown the truth and you just keep on walking like it never happened. What do I believe? I think I have to get clear here before I can matriculate to the next level of my life. I have always understood – […]
Loss of Illusions
“There is a diamond lying on the road; the arrow is released from the bow. Now the awareness is not within you, now the awareness moves and, reaching the diamond, pierces its heart. Now your awareness is with the diamond and no longer within you. Now the awareness is somewhere else. So all the arrows […]
Spiritual Partnership
“Spiritual partnerships are the most fulfilling, substantive, and deep relationships possible. They are relationships between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth. … No matter who the spiritual partner or spiritual partners are, the spiritual partnership operates the same way.” ~Gary Zukav I have been waiting for directions for my new life. Something less complex than those you get with birth control pills. […]
Envision Forward
“There is a way of breathing that’s a shame and a suffocation and there’s another way of breathing, a love breath that lets you open to the infinite.” ~Rumi. I spent the day at a Vision Board Workshop. This is a yearly ritual which surprisingly has become a touchstone. Each year we choose a word to act like […]
Learning to Listen
“Fully absorbed, graciously witnessing, or open and spacious —which of these lenses is the best way to practice awareness? Is there an optimal way to pay attention? The answer is ‘all of the above.’” ~ jack kornfield While walking in the woods I gave way to the moment and opened up my mind […]
Powerful You
“Only one person can make your journey. No one person can impede your journey. Perhaps it is time to stop asking others to be responsible for our journey, and find that which is inside our ownSoul. We are the change. Do not give away your Power. Not today. And never again. The Power of which […]
