Tell Me Something Good

July 12, 2010

The other day, I sat with daddy in the chemo treatment room, full of patients, family, friends, and medical staff. The staff is friendly and warm. They understand the seriousness of this disease; they do not make light of it but they do bring light to it. While I was helping daddy to the restroom [...]

The Power of Presence

June 25, 2010

“Presence is a more powerful catalyst for change than analysis.” Rachel Naomi Remen I’ve been on a media fast for a little over a week now. As I clear out the noise, I am beginning to recognize that I have some deep sadness. I know that a large part of the sadness is about my [...]

Aligning with Immensity

March 31, 2010

How much longer will you stay oblivious of the immensity of yourself? ~Rajneesh In some traditions we are told that we are nothing—a wretch even. In other cultures we are told that we are everything—my needs are the most important. We hear much talk of overcoming ego or stepping into our power. We get mixed [...]

Splashing Inside My Chest

March 30, 2010

When the ocean surges, don’t let me just hear it. Let it splash inside my chest! Rumi I think of all the times that I have missed experiencing life deeply; all the times that life flirts with me, invites me, asks me to dance, and I fail to notice. I don’t notice because I’m distracted, [...]

Gift from a Vulture

March 26, 2010

Vulture has gifted me in many ways over the years, and I’ll tell you part of that story now–a particularly poignant part. Vulture seems to show up when I’m about to make a big transition. It’s as if they are my travel guides during key times. Indigenous people have long viewed animals and birds as [...]

Infinity in a Feather

March 12, 2010

This hummingbird feather is no bigger than a sunflower seed. I had to use my macro lens to capture the detail (click on photo). Some say that hummingbird feathers are magical. Maybe they’re right because it certainly seems like magic that I have this tiniest, most precious feather. One day while living in Virginia, I [...]

Letting Go

March 3, 2010

This Blue Jay seems to be grasping the branch with all his might. When he grasps so tightly, he has to place all of his focus right there upon that which he grasps, thus, his focus becomes very small and limited. When I am grasping, clutching, clinging to something, whether onto a belief, idea, person, [...]

Be Overwhelmed!

March 2, 2010

I glanced at this photo recently and thought how beautiful it is. It’s a unique perspective, isn’t it? But while the tree provides a really cool frame for the mountain landscape, it is also extremely limiting. I began wondering about my own limited view. What are the frames I use to give me a false [...]

Living Large

March 1, 2010

My sweet dog friend, Pedro, lives life large! He reminds me to live large, too. He reminds me to get outside and breathe, no matter the weather. He teaches me about being present in the moment. And he teaches me about finding joy even in the face of obstacles. Thank you, Dudie! Turn up [...]

Turtle Time

February 24, 2010

I’m on turtle time. This is my powerful reframe for some past negative beliefs and thoughts I’ve had about myself. I’m a late bloomer, and there was a time when some others, and I, believed that I was “slow”. I slept a lot when very young, was painfully shy, didn’t start talking quite on time, [...]
