Angels
Come in all shapes and sizes. Wild, yellow, haloed, Tinkerbell tiny, Glenda the Good Witch gowns… Songs have been written, guardians have been created and no consensus can be found as to their nature or form. One thing is for sure, those who have experienced their “angel(s)” see them as real and unique. I myself … Continue reading
Ease and Grace
My friend Patti says “with ease and grace” like a lot of people say “ya know”. Patti embodies the essence of ease and grace. It is synonymous with her beingness. Doing or saying anything often enough becomes part of who you are. How easy it is to spot other people’s problem of doing and saying … Continue reading
Act As If
Public Storage unit 20, a lovely 10 X 20 tin space where I shamelessly weep curled up on my favorite meditation chair. I spoke this sentence as the lump in my throat chokes off my words, dictating on my new Dragon speech recognition software. As the words spill onto the page some of the sentences … Continue reading
Quickest Way to Make a Miracle Disappear is to Question It
The spin room went dark 5 minutes before class ended. Since this was the second day in row for this mysterious event, the room was abuzz with the question “Why”. Someone softly remarked, “the quickest way to make a miracle disappear is to question it.” So it is with miracles, we question them. The better … Continue reading
Like a Monkey Doing a Math Problem
“I look like a monkey doing a math problem” said the spin instructor this morning as she blankly stared at her sets. How many times have you felt like that way? Staring at your computer wondering how long you’ve been doing that. Standing in front of the fridge cooling down the entire house. Getting hit … Continue reading
Word of the Day “Bright”
How Bright are you today? Not referring to whether you are smarter than a fifth grader. How bright is your light? Great song by Timbuk 3, “Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades”. A glorious attraction of Playa del Carmen is the sun. Most of the time it is so bright you “gotta” wear shades. … Continue reading
Word of the Day “Tolerance”
I had decided Thursday evening my blog would be on tolerance. As my Friday morning ritual, I sat down at the computer to the searing pain of a “boil on my behind” (too much spin I guess). As I revved up my computer an ugly Trojan (not the drug store kind) came storming into my … Continue reading
Word of the Day “JOY”
Word of the Day Joy! What is joy? A three-letter word, a feeling of happiness? The opposite of depression? Much confusion surrounds this small but powerful word. Most people in Playa del Carmen are there as a tourist and they always seem to be experiencing Joy. Is it joy, happiness or inebriation? What is true … Continue reading
Time to Delve into 2012
Day 3 and the New Year is in full swing. Have you given up on any of those New Year’s resolutions yet? Have you considered your thinking habits are keeping you stuck in last year’s habits? Are you thinking one way and feeling another? That would be like building a sand castle as the tide … Continue reading
Just Imagine . . .
Just Imagine . . . The theme for this year’s Rose Parade. It can also be the theme for your life if you choose or “imagine” it. “Einstein once said, “Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.” It is well-known that he believed one should “think like a child”. Einstein engaged in something called “thought experiments”. … Continue reading
