I’m feeling stuck today –not sure which way to turn, what to do next – and that makes me curious. I’m interested in why we get stuck and mostly how to let go and break free from our stuckedness. Course this means we have to give up the griping and blaming and take responsibility for [...]

“I’m too tired.” That’s one of my favorites. Applicable to any situation – and I mean any. And it doesn’t cause me to do the head-tilt-to-the-left-run-fingers-through-the-hair thing that I do when I’m exaggerating, because you see I am not exaggerating. I AM tired. Therefore, with this reasoning, an excuse rooted in truth is almost not [...]

That old Wilson Phillips Song –“Hold On” is one. The numbers 11, or 111, 1111 are another. Oh, and finding unexpected coins in the bottom of my pocket. That works too.

If you can sit down to eat a cheeseburger (or garden burger for that matter) — you can sit to meditate. If your knees are creaking and your days as a gymnast are behind you (like way behind you in a past life) you don’t even have to sit cross legged to meditate. I sit [...]

After weeks of researching cars, we found the one we wanted to buy. It was a little more expensive than what we’d planned — which made the decision to buy or not to buy a toughy. We waffled and hemmed and hawed and debated and argued until finally, I told my husband I was comfortable [...]

I had the future all figured out. Then, when the company I had been employed with for over eight years sold to a large corporation, the future changed. With the sale, my colleagues and I lost years of earned benefits and were considered new hires, starting at the bottom. I was pregnant with my second [...]
