Dark Shadows

October 31, 2009

I mentioned a couple weeks ago about the whole idea of shadow work showing up for me recently.  It’s a bit annoying, really.  I don’t feel that drawn to it, and still, it shows up.  And some really smart people advocate doing it on a regular basis.  It’s the fourth module of practices (in addition [...]

End Fat Talk

October 19, 2009

I was ten years old the first time I heard fat talk from “friends” – one of them my “best friend” — on the playground at school.  And not long after that I went on my first diet.  It was a defining moment.  As long as I let it be.  Sometimes I have a hard time [...]

Boxes

This is the third in a series on space-clearing. Part 2 is here. The last component of my space clearing process is adapted from the Clearing Your Clutter for Clarity process in Ask and It Is Given. In this process, you start out with a bunch of boxes (20 banker’s boxes is a good start, [...]

Lemon Balm Expressing

October 13, 2009

When I was at the Farmer’s Market early in the summer buying basil, tarragon, oregano, parsley and thyme in 2″ pots for my herb garden, I also purchased what was being touted as a “mosquito buster” container.  It had citronella, basil, peppermint and lemon balms – all scents that repel mosquitos supposedly.  I can’t say that [...]

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 what counts. One [...]

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 the mindset that [...]

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 – just a [...]

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.   Seasonal – I have a ghost. Pragmatic – something has [...]
