Today, I’ll start by saying that I just came from my first ever abstract art class! What’s really interesting is that, after 6 hours of abstract painting, my typing skills are completely gone. I have misspelled almost every single word since I sat down. It’s pretty freaky. I wonder if there’s a correlation between the two, in terms of what part of the brain is being used. Just watch wjile …
Freedom and Choice
Here is an excerpt from my “guide to the future” astrology report by Jonathan Cainer: Sun Sextiles Mercury 9th March 2014 until 11th March 2014. “Every day is a journey of discovery. You don’t feel that way? Maybe what you are discovering is the power of repetition. Don’t reject your lesson, no matter how it is being taught. Don’t feel obliged either, though, to stick with the current theme exclusively. …
Falling in Love in PV (No, it’s not what you think)
As our plane took off from Puerto Vallarta last Sunday, I sat on the plane thinking about whether or not I was ready to come home. After 11 days of yoga, mediation, devotional chanting, ocean breezes, sunsets, impromptu folk/jam sessions and too many incredible heart-opening connections to count, I did not want it to end. This meditation retreat opens you up to such a degree that pretty much every moment …
Ocean Dance
Life is such a paradox, isn’t it? Here I am, sitting out on my balcony, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and watching the lights twinkle around Banderas Bay while I listen to “Guru Ram Das” by Snatam Kaur on repeat. I’m feeling such overwhelming gratitude for my life. I”m feeling such incredible love for the souls with whom I had the privilege of sharing the past week. I’m feeling eager to …
Speechless
Just spent an hour writing a post but there was a glitch and it got deleted. Hmmm. I’m sure there’s a good reason for that. I’m in Puerto Vallarta and the meditation retreat I’m attending begins tomorrow. This year’s theme is “Living Effectively as a Conscious Multidimensional Being”. Thank God, because it’s exactly what I need to know right now. When I sat down to write this post I realized …
Shifting Out Of Neutral
This has been a really good week. I’ve been practicing some of the NLP skills that my friend taught me last week and I truly believe it’s making a difference in my overall emotional reactiveness. When I was thinking about what to write today, I knew I wanted to say more about the insight I had last week and then it occurred to me that I had an experience on …
Switching Gears
This week’s entry will be shorter than usual because I’m writing on Friday night and I want to get it published before you all wake up on Saturday morning. I know how much some of you enjoy reading it first thing :). I didn’t go to Rooster to write this week because I received some interesting feedback from two readers regarding my last post which really made me pause and think …
Choosing “Me”
The playlist at Rooster is so funny today. It’s some pop music from my youth, but the really cheesy stuff like “Oh What a Lonely Boy”, “Mandy”, “You Fill Up My Senses”… you get the idea… I find it so refreshing and I’m sitting here, singing along. Part of that pre-amble is probably me just procrastinating. I’m feeling a little “off” today and somewhat unsettled. I’ve been thinking about why …
Old Story, New Ending
This week I’d like to talk about good stuff. Things have really shifted for me lately and I’m noticing a profound and seamless change in me. I know it didn’t happen overnight and nobody knows better than me how much hard work and soul searching I’ve done to get to this place but it still feels miraculous to me to be feeling the way I do after experiencing such a …
