Weird dream early this morning where I walked into a classroom trying to approach someone for some reason—maybe the teacher—and she turned and asked me a question like “Why are you here?” and I said “Elevation!” College-age students around the room began to chime in on what elevation meant to each of them, and itContinue reading “Elevation”

Flexing Your Inner Strength
I’ve noticed that some of my closer friends are being more adversely affected by news of the daily antics in DC.; expressing lots of stress and worry now about the upheaval in government structures and personnel firings, etc..

Another New Remote Control on Order
Now that January 20th has arrived I should order another new remote control for my decade old TV. I burned the MUTE button out of the first one a year ago and will likely do the same for the current one as well since my ‘preferred mutee’ is in charge of the nation starting today.Continue reading “Another New Remote Control on Order”
Presence and Transcendence
Say aloud: “I AM in the NOW. My NOW may not be a preferred location, but it MY NOW.” Breathe into that NOW and feel your lungs expand. Feel the air flowing in and then out. Take another breath even slower than the first. Allow the extra oxygen to flood your body with precious life.Continue reading “Presence and Transcendence”
To Be Hopeful
“To BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.

“Let It Be”
“There will be an answer, LET IT BE.” That old Beatles song “Let It Be” has been playing in my head the last few days. So I’m going to just go with it and agree. Here are a few of the lyrics: “Let It Be” – (a song by The Beatles) “When I find myselfContinue reading ““Let It Be””
Still Swirling in the Energy Blender
Are you feeling it yet? I think my blender button must be set to ‘PUREE’ because I’m starting to feel a little mushy. Patience is not something Aries are known for and I’m definitely struggling with my own, but I think the end result will work out the best for everyone if we can justContinue reading “Still Swirling in the Energy Blender”
Flip It
When I saw this graphic, I thought, ‘Yes, exactly. It’s the GOAL that you work toward, not the process that takes you there, that is the most important aspect to keep in mind.’ “…You are healing to be able to handle joy and to accept happiness back into your life.” That IS the goal ofContinue reading “Flip It”
Like Sea Glass
Just sharing the awesome image above and the poem accompanying it. *** I want to age like sea glass. Smoothed by tides, not broken. I want the currents of life to toss me around, shake me up and leave me feeling washed clean. I want my hard edges to soften as the years pass ,Continue reading “Like Sea Glass”
