I was thinking about a quote, by Marsha Sinetar, that I had read “Do what you love and the money will follow.” This is because I made it through my week, having done what I am supposed to do, work, work out, take care of myself, spend time with family and write. I feel uninspired… Continue reading Doing what I love

Moving on, is a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard. Dave Mustaine
Being moved, moving forward, physically moving my body, moving in, moving out, and moving on. The theme for my week, upon reflection, is move. Being moved My mom’s service was beautiful. It was well attended. Despite everything going on in our personal life, my boyfriend also came with his mom. A woman going through her… Continue reading Moving on, is a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard. Dave Mustaine
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on. – Robert Frost
Keeping my promises to myself is a top priority for me. With that in mind, I am sitting with my coffee this morning and taking the time to reflect on this week and write something about it. It is ironic that 4 months ago, I had made an appointment for my hair with the artist… Continue reading In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on. – Robert Frost
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. – Anonymous
I made a promise to myself to write every week. This was for me to explore my creativity and share it in a safe place. I came to realize Saturday mornings were the best for me to reflect and write. Today, the only thing I have on my mind is my mom. She passed away… Continue reading When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. – Anonymous
The best way out is always through – Robert Frost.
This week was not the happiest one I have experienced. This week was not easy, in fact it was sad, difficult, and there was a lot of resistance from my part. Some of the beliefs I hold were questioned, in depth. My mom has Alzheimer’s and cancer. In the last week or so, my mom’s… Continue reading The best way out is always through – Robert Frost.
Lessons from my daughter
Today is my daughter’s 22nd birthday. I find it fitting that I feel like writing about her and our relationship. I do not really feel inspired to write about anything else, and this is after reflecting about my week, the events and none of it seems to matter, except her. That is saying a lot… Continue reading Lessons from my daughter
Meditation and getting back to the daily practice.
This week I attempted to re-start my daily meditation practice. I remember a time when I meditated every day. I had heard about Davidji in 2015, who is, from his site, “an internationally recognized stress-management expert, corporate trainer, meditation teacher, and author of the critically acclaimed and Amazon #1 Bestseller, destressifying: The Real-World Guide to Personal… Continue reading Meditation and getting back to the daily practice.
News – the actual television programming
When I first read quotes about how television brainwashed people, I thought to myself, of course, “Commercials try to sell you things you do not need.” Commercials sell insecurity, needing this or that to have the appearance of a better life. I hardly watch television; with Netflix, I can watch commercial free. Wonderful. Then I… Continue reading News – the actual television programming
The value of contrast
What have I been reflecting upon this week? Work. It has not been an easy time; long hours, multi-tasking, managing people, listening, navigating politics and feeling stressed. In short, a lot of contrast. I am also in line for a promotion at work. It was suggested that, while I may deserve it, I probably will… Continue reading The value of contrast
Taking things too seriously
I started investigating “spiritual principles” about 6 years ago now. Since then I have read many books and listened to many speakers. Concepts and ideas presented to me made sense and I opened my mind. I find myself reflecting on these quotes today. Spiritual quotes Brian Tracy stated "Your life is a reflection of your… Continue reading Taking things too seriously
