It is basically daily reflections on life written in a way that is so heartbreakingly honest and beautiful that it reads like poetry. I am a bit behind on my daily reading so I am only on, “February 19: Instead of Breaking.” But the daily awakening was so moving that I thought I’d share a snippet with you here: “Instead of breaking the bone of our stubbornness, we can nourish the marrow of our feeling unheard. Instead of breaking the bone of our fear, we can cleanse the blood of our feeling unsafe. Instead of counting the scars from being hurt in the world, we can find and re-kiss the very spot in our soul where we began to withhold o...

Maybe I was in need of a little mundane in my life after 2011 kick me in the butt. But while boredom is welcomed (Thank goodness for the sun! There’s no seasonal affective disorder on my end.), it can also be a sign of stagnation. Maybe we’re getting too comfortable in our relationships and in our jobs and have started to take for granted the everyday moments in our lives. If that sounds like you, keep reading. This week’s post are all about rethinking your life, transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary ones, analyzing your relationships and your body language. Basically, they are five posts to re-energize your 2011. If you’ve been feeling run-down, down and out, tired of the lack of sunlight, I think you...

Is it really the end of September? According to our Twitter followers, I might not be the only one feeling the swiftness of September. It’s funny how no matter how hard we try to pay attention to every moment, the days and moments still fly by. And here we are again, another month is gone. Soon it will be winter and then 2011! The good news is that the rapidity of time makes it all the more valuable and a worthy cause to find the goodness in all situations. Like how Mindfulness & Psychotherapy is showing us how to do it this week and kind of like how Mentoring & Recovery is teaching us how to be more of a inner coach rather than an inner critic. It’s all of these things that show us how to live life more meaningfully that helps the moments go by just a little...

I grinned to myself. It was on my way to work, through a beautiful city park, with the sun rising over the hillside. The morning radio program reported the news that a California judge overturned their state’s ban on gay marriage. I know what you’re thinking: A medical blog is running amuck right into a political hornet’s nest. But isn’t it true that a nation’s kindness is a defining characteristic? America and Americans do much that is good and right. Examples of such goodness are too numerous to list. If you are a victim of a calamity, you can be sure that America will help. Ask Haiti. And it’s not just foreign countries, we help each other. There’s a flood and then there are volunteers. A powe...

We’re officially in the midst of summer. In fact, we’re almost at the end of June. July here we come! Yet, for some of us summer doesn’t automatically mean fun. There’s the oil spill, for example, the economy and everything else on the news. Added to that are our plain old daily concerns on everything from our weight to our empty wallets. Yes, we definitely need an extra boost to have fun as adults. It’s not just about ice-cream cones or playing in the sand anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. If we have to work harder to have fun than so be it. We deserve to play as much as any kid out there! Even if you can’t get away this summer because the cost of a vacation is just too much for you this year, there’...

I want some chocolate like it is going out of style. I am so darn hungry for some “junk” right now. My hubby and I are sitting here watching the first game of the NFL season and all I can think is, “chocolate cheesecake”. Thank goodness we have nothing like that in the house at the moment or I would be in trouble. Don’t you have self control you ask? Yes, I had self control 2 days ago when everyone at work ordered treats from a local baker and gulped down sugary, sweet and yummy Starbucks beverages on the house. And I had all the control in the world last night at a training session for work when there was candy, cookies, scones, cakes and cheesecake (and y’all know what cheesecake does to me) with ...
