3-Steps to Reach Goals

March 31, 2011

I made commitments at the beginning of the year to reach goals in my life–a couple of specific and important goals.  I made the commitments to reach these goals with great intention and passion, but as we all know, intention and passion is only the key that turns the ignition. In addition to the key, [...]

Now is the Time

February 22, 2011

What an emotional morning.  I awoke from a disturbing dream about my father and found that I had overslept.  It was time to get the horses out–now.  I rushed from bed, up to the barn, and put all the horses in the pasture–the dream was constant on my mind.  I returned to the house to [...]

Irritation Creates Opportunity

January 11, 2011

Irritation opens up the possibility for empowerment and acceptance–if we allow it.  By sitting with the irritation and dropping the story line attached to it, new possibilities become available. I had purchased a meditation audio that I tried out the other morning.  It contains the beautiful sounds of ocean and whale song.  However, at various [...]

Willing Sacrifice

October 14, 2010

When I visit with Daddy, I have to connect my computer directly to his computer in order to have access to the Internet.  It’s a pain.  It’s uncomfortable sitting in his office on the too-high chair that causes strain on my neck.  I told him that I wish he’d get wireless.  He asked, “Why?  What [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]
