first eclipse of 2013: full moon in scorpio

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 15:02:00 -0400

first eclipse of 2013: full moon in scorpio:

Because of the geometrical angles that are currently in place, we are going to experience two Lunar Eclipses with a Solar Eclipse sandwiched in between them. This three-in-a-row configuration is what is known as a wormhole. Just like in a sci-fi special effect (or for real, in the world of quantum physics) a wormhole picks you up in one place in time/space and transports you clear across time/space into brand new territory. Such is the lay of the land from this April 25^th through June 7^th. The more aware you are of where you want to go, the more likely you will be to land somewhere you will be happy to be.

dance toward the light

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 14:03:31 -0400

woke up to the light. and strangely enough, the internet of all places, continued to shower me with brightness. our environment and circumstances may cast shadows of darkness, but we all have the choice to dance toward this light as we were born to do. given the events in boston yesterday, we could all use this reminder. here’s to the light in all of us…

with every dawn, when first light penetrates the sea, many seahorse colonies perform a dance to the sun.

the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evildoers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak.

jill bolte taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: she had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness — shut down one by one. an astonishing story.

this story is a glimpse at what it means to dissolve all boundaries. to live, to be as one. what an inspiring reminder. but, i’ll-be-damned if my left brain just didn’t get in the way some times.

“non fear is the true foundation for great happiness.” and to achieve non fear, we must transform our perceptions. sounds about right.

100 tips about life, people and happiness:

pretty much spot on. some highlights:

13. get used to feeling stupid. it’s a sign of growth.

35. scare yourself a little bit every day. it will expand your inner map.

57. your stories are both more and less interesting than you think.

71. find your voice.

80. address small problems. they will become big problems.

81. dress like a cooler version of yourself.

86. find mentors. just don’t call them that.

95. the best conversations are had side by side, not one in front of the other.

99. courage is a learned skill.

a moment for yourself

Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:44:00 -0400

my sister-in-law often snail mails me hokey, albeit inspiring magazine clippings. i love that she does this. especially since her and my brother live 15 minutes away. these messages always seem to arrive at the right moment. generally, when i’m feeling disconnected and need to turn inward (eehhh hem, need a big smack of reality). here’s the most recent:

unplug. we often rate our days by what we’ve accomplished, applauding ourselves for a workout logged, an errand completed, a task crossed off. but consider grading today on a new curve: give yourself credit not for doing but simply for being - for taking time to sit alone, listening, daydreaming, creating space to think. only then can you connect with the most important person in your world: yourself.

amen sister.

10 thoughts on living whole

Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:44:24 -0400

1. a meal shared with family + friends sustains you in more ways than one.

2. gratitude cannot always change circumstances, but it can help you see beyond them.

3. with rejection comes a decision: you either turn back or find a new way forward.

4. feeling restless may be a sign that you haven’t sat still long enough.

5. stop seeing life as a problem to be solved and, instead, as a mystery to be enjoyed.

6. sometimes you have to travel to a new place to rediscover the old you.

7. to make the best use of your intuition, think less and listen more.

8. give above and beyond what you think will help.

9. rather than worry about how your body should look, focus on you want it to feel.

10. virtuous and delicious aren’t mutually exclusive; the most nourishing foods can also be the most delightful.

…ripped from an old copy of whole living magazine. not too shabby.
