Most mornings for me start (after feeding the cats) with spiritual reading, meditation and yoga, in some form or another. My reading is rarely planned I have several books on my meditation table – I try to let the universe point to which one. Today I picked up Hua Hu Ching by Lao Tzu. I… Continue reading Today’s Lesson…

Working on Spirituality…
This past week I decided to spend my vacation painting my kitchen. Funny when you write painting my kitchen it doesn’t seem such a chore… However what the sentence doesn’t convey are the many woman hours peeling wall paper border, cleaning up after each messy task and the actual painting of the ceiling,walls and trim.… Continue reading Working on Spirituality…
Finding Time…
I love the line “I can’t find the time”; Like time gets lost or we’ve misplaced it. We don’t exactly lose time, but we waste it or misuse it. Each day has been designated to have twenty-four hours. All of us are given the same amount of time each day. Yet some of us tend… Continue reading Finding Time…
Clarity…
Clarity especially of the mind seems elusive to most of us – In fact we’re unaware of our lack of clarity… Our minds rarely if ever take a moment off. There’s so much information and stimuli to get through. Even when we’re not doing anything physically our minds are processing. We are so preoccupied with… Continue reading Clarity…
One Thing To Look Forward To…
As we approach the end of October we notice the beautiful muted colors of autumn. This time of year is bittersweet the heralding the end of summer and the coming of winter. I know some of you enjoy the winter season. As for me winter is a season to get through; like a colonoscopy, or… Continue reading One Thing To Look Forward To…
Short and Sweet…
Never discount taking five minutes to sit and meditate or just to ponder… Get off the fast track to no where and sit – Just sit. Sounds like an idle waste of time doesn’t it? Think of it as a mini vacation in the craziness of the day. Time to regroup, breathe and take note… Continue reading Short and Sweet…
Running Thoughts…
Make them stop! How can we control the never ending stream of thoughts? From the moment I awaken to the moment I fall asleep my mind races. Thoughts run through my head like those horrible message boards seen in business – You know the ones that keep circulating the same message in a loop! The… Continue reading Running Thoughts…
No Pain No Gain…
After pulling up lame in what was supposed to have been my long run for the week – Limping home gave me plenty of time to think! I recalled the phrase “No Pain No Gain” from the body builders in the gym. This wasn’t that kind of pain! After analyzing how I happened to pull,strain… Continue reading No Pain No Gain…
Moving Retreat…
A good friend of mine just returned from an Episcopalian Youth Conference. She was telling me how renewed and grounded she felt after being there for five days. I can see how being focused on spirituality for five days can be a re-birth of spirit, but it is so hard to have that intense focus… Continue reading Moving Retreat…
Rest-Stop !
A body in motion stays in motion… Taking time to rest while training is probably more difficult for me than getting up and working out! The trick is having days off scheduled along with your workouts. Over training is as bad as under training. Finding a happy medium where you can get optimal performance without… Continue reading Rest-Stop !
