Tuesday, April 8th, 2008You know those boxes on websites where you have to type in the letters or numbers you see in the image? They are technically known as captchas. And they are the nightmare of my life. I spend all day on the computer, going places, leaving comments on blogs, signing up for things, etc. And I [...]
Forgive yourself
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008This is an aritcle I posted last year. Since I lost all my old posts when the hacker got me, I thought I’d post this one again.
**********************************************
Do you find it easier to forgive others than yourself? I say over and over that my past is past and I won”t dwell on it. And yet, I [...]
Art in Therapy
Saturday, March 29th, 2008If you have taken any of my journaling courses, you know that I believe very strongly in the power of art in the process of self discovery and healing. Maybe it’s because I am such a visual thinker. My friend, Kristina, says that words are like a second language to me. [...]
My mind runneth over
Friday, March 28th, 2008Today has been a long day full of emotion and excavation. I faced some challenges today that were good, but required a lot of courage. When I face and conquer my fears I feel like I grow a few inches.
This digital collage is titled “Hurt and Healing”, and was inspired by days like today. I [...]
Dream quotations
Thursday, March 27th, 2008Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.

Thoreau
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the [...]
Books are priceless treasures
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008As you may know, I am living in a temporary situation while all my belongings, except necessities, are in storage in TX. One of the things I miss the most are my books.
I’m not the type that reads a book and then gets rid of it. I read them, and go back to them over [...]
Body snatchers
Monday, March 3rd, 2008How can some tiny germs knock a full grown woman on her butt? I’ve got some bug, probably flu and it has taken over my entire body.
Yes, I’m whining! This sucks.
Til this evil creature leaves my body, I probably won’t be posting.
Living Alive
Thursday, February 28th, 2008
There is a song called "We Live" by Superchick. Part of the lyrics say,
There’s a man who waits for the tests to
See if the cancer had spread yet
And now he asks why did I wait to live ’til it was time to die
If I could have the time back, how I’d live
Life is such [...]
Buddhist practice of Maitri
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008“When people start to meditate or to work with any kind of spiritual discipline, they often think that somehow they’re going to improve, which is a sort of subtle aggression against who they really are. It’s a bit like saying, “If I jog, I’ll be a much better person.” “If I could only get a [...]
Life’s Purpose
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008Purpose serves as a principle around which to organize our lives.
Anonymous
Since I quit working I have had a feeling of loss and am finding it hard to get things done that I want to do. I think that work gave me a central focus around which I organized everything else.
The weekends were separate from work, [...]
