The Chocolate of Now

Luckily I will be able to sleep tonight.  That’s my deadline to finish a project that I have been working on for months.  Only fifteen more minutes to go until it is done. My husband and I took huge amounts of pictures of our family growing up.  They are in the original camera store envelopes… Read more »

Money and Truth

Can we talk about money for a moment? Money, like everything else, has no intrinsic value. It is not good or bad. It is the medium of exchange for goods and services and for sharing in charitable ways. But, in addition to its pure financial value, money can have a meaning that we assign to… Read more »

Fall Awakening

It is a gray and rainy day. I light the first fire of the season in my fireplace. Cloaked in a rain parka, I walk to my mailbox. I continue walking. The leaves are magnificent, fiery red and yellow, damp and glistening. I walk to the dock (a perk of living on Long Island) and… Read more »

Puddle Tea

When I was a child, on rainy days my mother would dress me up in a coat and boots and send me outside to play. I loved splashing in puddles feeling the cool wetness and muddy splatterings, opening my mouth to the sky to catch a fresh drink of water (that was before acid rain,… Read more »

Deepak Does It Again

I highly recommend it, especially for those who find it difficult to quiet down…like me! Deepak introduces ideas that resonate deeply within, then you sit quietly with his supporting words and soothing… Read more »

I’m Thinkin’…

Motion. I’m thinkin’ nature and movement. Walk, dance, tip toe. Water freezes. Melts. Static water becomes stagnant. Heart in motion pumps blood and refreshes cells. Heart not pumping ceases to support life. I’m in partnership with movement. We’re friends. Give and take, ebb and flow, peace and tumult. In motion, keep essence. Always in integrity… Read more »

I Made It; I Threw It Away

Monday Morning Anywhere

I did something extraordinary today. I threw out one of my pieces. Done. Tossed into the garbage. It was a six-foot by eight-foot canvas covered in black felt. There were five silhouette figures of women on it and a real umbrella attached to one of them. Each figure was created by painting 20 coats of… Read more »

Earthing

“Earthing”, or grounding, is a practice that is getting attention as a natural way to reduce inflammation, thin blood and slow the aging process. Dr. James Oschman, expert in energy medicine and biophysics, says, “The earth’s surface is electrically charged. There is a constant current flow from the ionosphere to the earth. These are the… Read more »
