courage and compassion

Posted by on Jun 28, 2011 in body care, cultivating peace, relationship to self | 2 comments It was a dark night in Memphis.  I was heading to the hotel.  Friendly people on the corner greeted me.  As I turned to respond, I missed the curb and BAM!  In an instant I was on the ground.  My glasses flew off my face and my bag went flying.  Yowee.  Kazowee! All is well, just a scrape here and bruise there.  No big deal.  The big deal came later as I sat down to reflect on what...

reclaim life balance, reclaim peace

Posted by on Sep 14, 2010 in body care, cultivating peace, meditation, relationship to self | 8 comments I think that it’s possible to cultivate a life of balance and peace?

If you don’t know EFT, you can download the basic protocol,...

take care of your body

Posted by on Mar 16, 2009 in body care | 0 comments Seriously.  Take care of your body.  It’s the only one we get (at least this time around).  Yet for many of us, it’s way low on the agenda. Whether it’s walking, running, yoga, or kick-boxing, please, move – your – body. I’m fifty now and am mindful that everyday my body needs my loving care if it’s going to do what I want it to do into my 60′s,...
