What is this notion in my head that I need more time?  I have more time than most.  I have intentionally made it so.  Yet, now, I am pushing myself out of the nest. It’s time!  Spread your wings and fly! No!  Wait!  I need a little more time! Come on, baby, spread your wings [...]

Silly Me

April 19, 2011

Do you ever get to feeling sorry for yourself?  I do, and often it’s over the silliest things.  This morning, I discovered that someone hadn’t put hay out for the horses last night.  That meant I had to do it—and that is when the unraveling began. It was now going to take me an extra [...]

April 18, 2011

I feel a tad out of sorts this morning.  I feel pressure.  I have a lot I need to accomplish but I can’t seem to find the time to do it.  The bits of time I have are small and fragmented, so I waste them to distraction.  I look back at the weekend with regret [...]

How to Clear Brain Clutter in 20-minutes or Less

March 30, 2011

I awoke irritated and agitated–my brain was cluttered.  I did yoga and meditation which always helps to calm and ground me, but it wasn’t enough.  I remembered a friend’s Facebook status from last night.  She said she was going to take 5 minutes to whine and then on with it.  That made me smile.  So [...]

February 17, 2011

I have a practice that I am incorporating into my day increasingly.  The practice takes as little as 45 seconds to complete. Let me give you a couple of examples as to how it works.  The other day I stepped out onto my balcony and saw hundreds of red-winged black birds foraging in the horse [...]

It’s a Lifestyle

February 11, 2011

I often experience fear as worry and distraction—one friend mentioned procrastination.  Worry, distraction, and procrastination are ways I can distance from the deep-seated fear.  As long as I’m caught up with worry and distraction, I don’t have to face the fear directly.  I can side step it.  This can go on for days, months, and [...]

February 10, 2011

You know that speech I was rehearsing the other night that was keeping me awake?  Well, I didn’t have to give it, and all resolved as I hoped—easily and quickly.  In fact, it was so easy that I began to question the resolution!  Silly mind. It occurred to me that on some level I want [...]

Dealing with Overwhelm

February 3, 2011

This has been an interesting year for me already, and it’s only February:  illness and injury, huge inspiration in work and spiritual practices, great news regarding my Dad’s health, shifts in relationships, etc.  I notice that I am a tad overwhelmed.  So much of what is coming at me is good, but it is simply [...]
