Taking stock in today.

“BE WHERE YOU ARE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL MISS MOST OF YOUR LIFE”.  -Buddha
I don’t know what spiritual teacher, renowned or otherwise seared into my brain the question,
“But can you be with things the way they are, right now in this moment without needing to change them?”
When I find myself spending undefined amounts of time on [...]

Fully developed frontal lobe thoughts

So many directions to go in…how to choose?
Lets start with asking the question, “Did hell just freeze over?” because my dad is now on Facebook.
Or we could talk about how I’d like to make love to ibuprofen for saving my life (and my ovaries) at work tonight.
If neither of those venues  suffice, we can skip [...]

This is a lovely post. Really.

My self imposed bedtime is in 13 minutes and I must bust out these fleeting thoughts before I go to sleep so they don’t interrupt my REM cycle during which I will be manifesting the next 40 years of my life (see “What Dreams May Come” and the trailers for all of Hollywood romantic comedies).

Thoughts from the Purple Crayon

Its not that we don’t know what to do. Oriah Mountain Dreamer offers timeless advice when she invites us to get still and stay still until the impulse to move comes from deep within. My yoga practice invites me to shed the many many layers I have managed to acquire in 25 years of living. [...]

Orange juice and diapers.

I feel as if I have initiated and followed through on a legal seperation from my writing on the account of “I’m bored and looking for something new and fresh”.
If writers block were a country, I would live there.
I just can’t seem to find anything new and exciting to write about.
I suppose I could write [...]

Storytime is over.

I woke up this morning. Which I feel is a positive way to start the day.
However, by 11:00 am, I was curled in the fetal on the cold cement floor of my apartment making arrangements for my pity party I would be throwing for the rest of the day.
Then I went to yoga and was [...]
