Nature’s Ability to Unite
Photo by Andrea Holien on Pexels.com It was a bustling Saturday afternoon in Carmel by the Sea. People were whirling about anxious to get on with their weekend, to sloth off responsibilities and relax. Before unwinding though there is the issue of parking, which can be tricking in a quaint town like Carmel with limited spots. But this bucolic place is a mecca for walking. Either sauntering the…

The Old Man and the Rain
The Old Man and the Rain
The old man puffed his cigar spitting out the tip as he stared at the solid veil of rain he had been waiting for. “California,” he muttered to himself half disgusted and partly relieved. “Took long enough,” he sighed. The entire damn state had been in a drought barring the occasional pockets of showers that fell February past. They did little to raise the depleted reservoirs and dusty stream…

“He’s fine, Raymond, really—we’ll have the homecare nurse take a peek once a week—but otherwise, he’s absolutely ready to go.” Sharon, the discharge planner at Apple Valley rehabilitation center in Napa California declared. She was a veteran well versed in letting folks go—the steward of parade waves as another shriveled elder clung to their walker shuffling out of the door. …

Living Without Fear At Any Age
Living Without Fear At Any Age
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. Marie Curie Marie Curie, the twice honored Nobel Peace Prize winner lived a life dedicated to research and exploration during a time when women were expected to be mothers and wives. Although you don’t have to be research scientists to break through fear-based thinking, you…

Developing Perspective During a Crisis
We laugh to survive. Then, with joy we thrive
Mary Anne Radmacher
For many of us, having to limit ourselves by working from home, forgoing favorite bars and restaurants, and having children underfoot for weeks on end, sounds and feels like a nightmare. Wanting a perspective, I asked my mother, who was a child in the days of…

Relishing the Gifts of Winter
Relishing the Gifts of Winter
Days are shorter the bears and bats are hibernating, and the cooler temperatures keep us indoors a bit more. Winter is nature’s time to rest and renew before the bustle of spring arrives. For humans, winter offers a magical opportunity to travel inward, to find comfort in slowing down, recuperating, and listening to our inner stillness. Whether gazing at the crackle of a fireplace or snuggling…

Lighten Up with Laughter
“A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.”
I have no idea who said the above quote but it makes me smile when I read it. It simple and dead on. Think back to a day, a week, a month that felt as though you had been trudging uphill in mud up to your waist. Your perception of those difficult times is usually caused from the lack of a good guffaw. Infusing laughter into your daily routine…

Unplugging The unrelenting cacophony of cars, and computers, of deadlines, of people demanding and complaining had me listless, frazzled, kaput.

Yoga…Dealing with Death
Recently a beloved uncle of mine passed away, and although his health was deteriorating from a progressive disease, it still came as a shock when he died suddenly from a heart attack. Bill was a kind man whose generosity and smile warmed the hearts of many. Processing the passing of a loved one ripples through core beliefs and often provokes a need to examine your own sense of mortality and of…

Are Excuses Suffocating You?
Desire for a better life, to achieve a dream, to fulfill a passion is what drives us forward, keeps us going when we are weary and frustrated, But, if you find yourself stuck, marooned in complacency, maybe your chronic excuses are to blame. Do hear yourself saying, oh I’m too busy to begin an exercise program now, or next year I will take that trip to Italy not enough money this year, or next…

Recently, NPR featured a piece on Food Deserts, areas in the country where there is little to no access to food for low income or infirmed people or those that don’t have access to a car. Here in Sacramento, a bridge crossing from the elite neighborhoods is one of such deserts. Meadow view is practically barren. Food choices are limited to AM/PM’s or a gas station…
