Hot Spots

October 12, 2009

This is the second in a series on space-clearing. Part 1 is here.
When I share my 27/9 structure, I sometimes get asked, “what counts? Does every piece of paper count?” The beauty of making up your own system is that you get to make it up! What works for you is [...]

27 Things

October 11, 2009

Labor Day weekend I was inspired to do some space-clearing. There had been stacks on the dining room table, on the stairs to go up, on the basement stairs to go down, and stacks of books and journals next to my reading place for far too long. I have been mostly of [...]

Comfort Food

October 11, 2009

It’s not unusual for Boulder to get a first snow in mid-October. What is unusual is the extreme cold front that brought it in. The low last night was 18, compared to a previous record low for that date of 27. Br-r-r-r.
Fortunately, my plans for the day were mostly stay-at-home plans – [...]

The Shadow Knows

October 9, 2009

Whether the question is about people I most admire, or people who have made a huge impact in my life, one of the women at the top of my list is Angeles Arrien.  I had the good fortune to participate in a Four-Fold Way Foundation program several years ago.  In addition to the immediate transformative experience, [...]

Soundtracks

October 8, 2009

  I’m a recent convert to listening to tunes while I’m walking outside.  In the past, I’ve been content to have my own thoughts for company, and to enjoy being present with Nature.    I was over at the Itunes store recently and was inspired to download some upbeat music for a workout playlist.  I’ve found [...]

Lose Your Dreams…

October 7, 2009

…and you will lose your mind.
Keith Richards
Last night, the TV in the living room spontaeously turned on while I was in another room.  I was on Facebook, so I updated my status, which led to a few different stories of the cause.

Emergence

October 6, 2009

Do not move the way fear wants you to. Instead, move from within.
Rumi
I’ve been in a bit of a cocooning stage.  Sinking into this idea of “moving from within”.  It’s a different perspective for this ENFP, Enneagram type 7, with a high score for Input on the StrengthsFinder assessment.  Always looking outside for the next [...]

What Women Want

August 4, 2009

Women want to be thin because we believe it is a means to an end. We believe that having a thin body is the prerequisite for every other dream and once the body is the right size, the other dreams, like dominos, can click into place, and we will at last find joy and [...]

But mostly, like you, I’m someone who is continuously learning. I’m still practicing, and I always will be. I’m not done; I’m just a little bit further on the path. Let me point out a way for you.
Shauna James Ahern, Gluten-Free Girl

What I Love About Summer

July 3, 2009

We’ve had a slow start to summer in Boulder this year: cooler weather with more afternoon thunderstorms than typical means the foothills are still a lush green, and my garden has needed only occasional supplemental watering.
Summertime feels like one long, relaxing flow, a celebration of unfolding, blossoming, growth, life. The longer days beckon [...]
