Learning to accept the present can be an exercise in patience for what you want. Have you ever finished something on your “to do” list and celebrated? I mean REALLY celebrated by doing a happy dance or calling a friend with the good news or by treating yourself to a few minutes sitting outside withContinue reading “Love the Present”

Beginning a New Chapter
If you have ever experienced change in your life, and we all have both consciously and unconsciously, you might realize how much your life has changed no matter where you are now. Some of it was natural, like going into the next grade at school or needing bigger shoes, or moving house when you wereContinue reading “Beginning a New Chapter”
Pay attention!
My 16-year-old cat is doing great, except for the puking, random poops that fall from her outside of the box, and needing to eat right next to the sink where I fix her food. I love her so much so I do what I can to keep her healthy and happy. My home has becomeContinue reading “Pay attention!”
Algorithms
I was reminded of the law of attraction recently when it came to algorithms. Recently, a client told me how she had been searching for shoes for her daughter’s graduation and started receiving ads online related to shoes. We’ve probably all noticed this interest-based advertising on social media and YouTube, etc. As annoying as itContinue reading “Algorithms”
Planting a Seed
Years ago, I had a lovely vegetable garden I played in. I planted beans and peas, tomatoes and peppers and even tried my hand at strawberries but the chipmunks were faster than I was. Each day I would go out and play in the garden, watering and weeding, staking the tomatoes and checking for bugs.Continue reading “Planting a Seed”
Non- thought
We think thousands of thoughts a day! THOUSANDS!!! Only a handful of those are useful. The rest threatened to tamper with our progress by bringing up past events, judgements and comparisons, among other things. As a performer, thoughts can distract and cause me to lose focus to the point of following my chain of thoughtContinue reading “Non- thought”
My cat is my greatest teacher
When I took in my dad’s cat in 2018, I had no idea I would learn so much about life from her. And still, in 2022, she is teaching me how to be present. When COVID made us all stay home, I had had her for about a year and a half. I vowed IContinue reading “My cat is my greatest teacher”
Where did the time go?
I sat down to make an update to an account the other day but my computer decided I should wait awhile because it was in desperate need of an update. Really? NOW? Something that should have taken a minute ended up taking more than 15 minutes! How frustrating! I have places to go and thingsContinue reading “Where did the time go?”
The Changing Current
I had the pleasure of tubing down a river for the first time in probably 45 years the other day. They say one should experience something new every day. Well, it may as well have been new because it seems like a lifetime ago since I was in a tube. It’s easy to find theContinue reading “The Changing Current”
The Sock Drama
I love my daily walks. It is a time to listen to podcasts or just organize my thoughts and breathe a little fresh air!! The other day, I was about 5 minutes out and the sneaker sock I had on slipped into my shoe. The heal just slid down into the back of the shoe.Continue reading “The Sock Drama”
