Rainy Days and Racing Minds

I don’t know what was more restless: the dog or my mind.  As I sat quietly, trying to meditate, she kept moaning, getting up and shifting, and then settling heavily down, trying out yet another pose.  Pretty much the same with my mind.  I’d settle in, start to sink deeper into a mindless...

The Art of the Stroll

Yesterday was one of those picture perfect days: warm, not humid, clear blue skies.  Since we had hit the beach the day before on an equally gorgeous day, it was a great day for a NYC adventure.  And a perfect one for my favorite activity there: strolling The High Line.  For those of you not [...]

Living in the Moment

My daughter gave me Jason Mraz’s new CD, “Love”, for my birthday.  Wonderful gift.  Wonderful music.  Yesterday, on an equally wonderful day, I spent 3 hours outside in the wonderful weather, listening to the CD while gardening.  There is one song that just really grabbed me:  R...

And…

It’s a simple word.  One I use often.  You would think that for a “connector” like me it would roll off the tongue.  Therefore it is baffling to me how it could represent such a foreign concept. The issue presented itself when I was daydreaming one day about what could happen if my...

Acting My Age

I didn’t know how old I was until I saw a picture of  myself.  That is the good news.  It is also the bad news.  Perhaps it is the Zumba that is getting me moving, perhaps it’s the (one more time…) new and improved diet, or perhaps it is just good old fashioned denial.  But [...]

When I Was Wise

I’ve been heads down, editing my book, and utilizing a part of my brain that seems achingly far removed from my creative side.  I am hugely grateful to be able to say that the manuscript is done and submitted and I now have time to get back to exercising that creative muscle.  However, as I [....

Don’t Tell Me I Can’t Do It

My eldest son is in China today.  It’s his 3rd trip there this year and he is there for a couple of weeks now to finishing interviewing and to secure a job.  When he graduates from college in June, I believe that he will walk off the stage with diploma in hand and go directly [...]

Finding the Missing Piece

My therapist is an annoyingly wise woman.  I went to her a few weeks ago with my usual “winter blues” story, although how can you have the winter blues when there was no winter per se?  Regardless, I was feeling “blah”.  My explanation to her concluded with the statement, ...

Humbly Winning

Although full of 16-year-old bravado, which can be a trigger for my full-fledged annoyance, my daughter has the ability also to generate awareness and gratitude in me.  There are so many reasons that I am grateful to have her in my life, but the latest is her ability to teach me lessons in humility....

Floating

Modern technology is wonderful.  I recently got an iPad and have added its use to my sadly, ever-growing list of addictions.  I know its bad when I am meditating and I have the instinctual urge to dash over to see what is going on every time I hear a ping, indicating that someone is commenting [...]
