One Year Ago Today

It was one year ago today that I drove to New Jersey for the psychic reading that would send me out west to explore a new place to live.  And, today I received the signed contract for the sale of my New York house. Sometimes I feel like I am in a dream.  It all… Read more »

Fun Santa Fe Style

A friend from my yoga class has a prolific garden.  In this dry, high altitude it takes a lot of work to nurture plants and vegetables.  She brought in packets of seeds from her penstemon plants and gave them out to everyone.  When I asked her about spreading seeds, she suggested that she and I… Read more »

Being Honorable

Being honorable is good for your health.  If I think that I have wronged someone I feel my energy withdraw.  It’s a subtle feeling, but persistent.  I used to ignore it, but it doesn’t go away on its own.  It just gets registered in my cells along with all the other data I feed them…. Read more »

Participate in Healing

Last week I went to a new chiropractor.  She spent a half hour looking at my body and telling me what my tendencies were that kept me off balance.  I usually put more weight on my left foot, my left thigh was more developed, I twisted my pelvis to the left and contracted my right… Read more »

Inny or Outy?

My Happiness Shines Everywhere

The centering thought for today’s meditation is My Happiness Shines Everywhere.  Studies show that positive behavior in one person spreads to people around them.  Panache Desai said that one person coming fully into themselves impacts 7.2 billion people.  I’m not sure how he came up with that number, but I get the idea.  Here is… Read more »

Listening to Myself

Ode to Martha Graham

Today I made an effort to listen to yesterday’s blog. I was in a yoga class, gritting my teeth, pushing my hamstrings past their limits, comparing myself to the most flexible woman to my left (It’s not fair! She has shorter legs!) when I remembered that I could be in the moment differently. My state… Read more »

I’m an Oprah Groupie

I admit it.  I’m an Oprah groupie.  I am so inspired by her guests and discussions that I often bring them here.  Introducing Panache Desai, thinker and communicator.  He talks about how our judgments of ourselves make our frequencies denser.  We empower everyone else’s version of who we really are and in so doing we… Read more »

Living Content

Everyone here wears jeans…the waiter, my doctor, but not the local tv weatherman who gave his report last week wearing a double-breasted suit holding a chihuahua. Just a tidbit of local flavor, but not what’s really on my mind. What I want to talk about is the Oprah/Deepak Chopra meditation series about happiness.  It is… Read more »
