(Issue #657) Attachment. Impermanence. Life.
~~~~~As yogis and others have taught, clinging to what was does not minimize the loss.But it can create blinders to the present moment—what is. ~~~~~ I’ve a lot to learn. Always did. Always will. Perhaps you feel that way. You thought you knew something, but it turns out you didn’t. Or you felt you made “it,” but shortly after, you’ve lost “it.” Or the love you thought would never die has. Or…

(Issue #656) The Mindset of Practice
~~~~~“It’s one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, three to get ready, three to get ready….”-attribution unknown-~~~~~ Perhaps you’ve read or heard how New Year’s resolutions tend to go off the rails within a few weeks. The top-ten broken resolutions tend to include items like: Lose Weight and Get Fit Quit Smoking Learn Something New Eat Healthier Get Out of Debt and Save…

(Issue #655) Purposeful Being
I think, therefore, I am. ~ René DescartesI think (too much), therefore, I am (not there to live my life). ~ Thich Nhat Hanh ***** Sitting with friends at lunch, you hear about their latest projects. One is actively involved with community protests. Another wrote and recorded a CD. A third buddy leads a weekly yoga class. The voice in your ear begins to whisper, “Wow! They’re doing a lot more…

(Issue #654) Introducing The WeTones!
This blog has an underlying theme of community building. Community as a Safe Place to Land evolved from posts about dialogues, collective monologues, collaboration, energy vampires, leaders, flibbertigibbets, and more. This post presents an alternative perspective on the importance and impact of creating a space where others can be authentically seen, heard, debated, and respected. Allow me to…

(Issue #653) If I Only Had Six Months to Live
At times, the stories we tell ourselves and the stories we live contradict one another. [Note: Before you leave this post, check out the video link at the end.] One exercise I did with my students and national audiences was to ask them to list their top three life priorities. Then they’d list the three things that took up most of their time week in and week out. When they compared the two…

Hey! Maggie Mae here. Photo by Pooches Playhouse Steve brought me to my favorite little yellow building today for a surprise. I found out I am now one year old. In addition to playing with all my pup friends, I got the yummiest treat made for me by Ms. Erin. Yum. Yum. And, yum! Photo by Pooches Playhouse A lot has happened in a year. I might be a pawful from time to time. You know, like…

Chilling with my person. May your day be filled with biscotti. WOOF, Maggie Mae.
It takes a community and appreciation...or as Bob Dylan sang, "So when you see your neighbor carryin’ somethin’ / Help him with his load / And don’t go mistaking Paradise / For that home across the road."
(Issue #652) Knowing It Without Knowing It?
A frog in the well knows not the ocean.~attributed to a Japanese Proverb~ A few months ago, Laurie introduced me to one of her aqua fit classes at our gym. She raved about the workout she got in those 45-minute sessions. I was a bit skeptical. I knew I could get a better workout on the cross trainer, treadmill, or stationary bike. After all, I could see the class on my way to the cardio…

A nibble here, a nibble there
Before ya know it your
gasping for air
Energy vampires, the same ol'
tune
Oh yeah, they suck the air
Right out of the room. ~from my song "Energy Vampires" (SAME TUNE, DIFFERENT SONG cd)
"A time to gain, a time to lose / A time to rend, a time to sew / A time for love, a time for hate / A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late." ~recorded by the Byrds
"Sunshine
On my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes
Can make me cry
Sunshine on the water
Looks so lovely
Sunshine
Almost always makes me high." ~John Denver
