Wisdom in everyday life

  • We are starting again

    There are many reasons to write a blog, one being so you can be seen and adored by fans for your wit and so-called wisdom. This is not that kind of blog, as a matter of fact, this will be the kind of blog that you will either desire to read or you will burn… Read more

  • What’s your hidden agenda?

    Can there be a hidden agenda when you find yourself; sitting, standing or ‘talking’ with a human that can barely lift their head? Now, all eyes are down, phone in hand, zombie like gaze induced. We know at once, what’s important to this human. Its status, its social standing, its virtual life. While eating, visiting,… Read more

  • Moody Monday

    It’s a grey moody Monday here in my neck of the world. Hard to be motivated when the sun decided to take the day off or the clouds are working over time, seemingly promised time and a half if they show up and cover the sun all the dang day. Great job clouds! In a… Read more

  • Which car is you on the Ferris wheel?

    This picture represents one of the best ways I find in explaining the human experience. I find most people think of life in linear terms, born on this day, die on that day and every day in between just another day down the road. But in my experience life moves more in circles, spirals if… Read more

  • messages for the push

    There are times in life when the cheer leading squad of your world gets busy or is uplifting someone else, you can beg and plead with your God or the universe for a kind word and the silence will be deafening! I mean the screaming sound of nothing can take your breath away. It is… Read more

  • What’s the point!

    I’m not sure what the point is anymore. I’ve been writing and writing and just like teaching if no one is getting it, why continue? I see pain, I have gone through pain, the entire country is going through pain and yet everyone seems stuck in their own limited mind-set. It doesn’t matter what you… Read more

  • Almost done

    How do you write about those times in your life that push you so hard that you can hear your back breaking under the pressure. I for one get extremely tired of it. But it completely speaks to what this last 2 years have been for me and I am almost done. Done with the… Read more

  • Does it take strength to be strong?

      And does it make you strong to have strength? There is a yoga sequence we do called t-sequence, you stand feet together, arms out, shoulder height elbows straight, like a T. We hold this in class anywhere from 3 minutes( I wish) to however long teacher decides we need to have our arms out… Read more

  • pressing on

    Each day comes with its difficulties and we have the choice to press on. There was a time when pressing on wasn’t a statement but a battle cry, Nothing can hold me back, I am pressing on no matter what! I get tired of the ever popular “stay positive” phrase. At times there seems very… Read more

  • See them as children

    It doesn’t take long to get disappointed with humanity. Turn on the news, read a paper, horror, after a while there is for me a decided need to separate self from “them”. I am not like “them”. I walk through the streets of Santa Monica and I see all manner of life and life forms,… Read more
