Thanks to the water that is hydrating and refreshing our bodies and the bodies of all animals that share our watershed. Thanks to the soil for all our sustenance and for providing natural entertainment to growers, gardeners, walkers, hikers and a playground for children and animal children. Thanks to the sky for the air that weContinue reading “Thanks On a Friday in March 2020”

Whale Song
Whales do not sing to attract females. They sing to attract other male singers in order to create a communal song of intense beauty in the hope of attracting the females. This is great: whales are teaching their five-fingered brothers how to win women. Musicians of this world have successfully translated this whale teaching. CarlosContinue reading “Whale Song”
Tend to the Foundation
You can get rid of things in your home or at your desk that feel like downers (clutter or useless) and shortly after lose energy vampires in human form too. What happens energetically is not easy to explain, but they pick up that you aren’t volunteering anymore to feed their emptiness. Support yourself first. ThisContinue reading “Tend to the Foundation”
Spiritual Awakening
It is my experience that spiritual awakening is like a movie that features a newcomer to an old neighbourhood who starts a garden. People pass by, drop off their beer cans and junk into it. The garden matures, starts to feed them and their senses, comforts them, gives them pride in their neighbourhood, lets themContinue reading “Spiritual Awakening”
Time Is Not Renewable
Use it deliberately, to create meaning, to experience gratitude, to feel life pulsating through you. Eliminate what doesn’t serve your well-being, initiative and joy. (There are enough situations that qualify. Just let them be what they are – far away from you. It is easier to refuse predictably bad “nourishment” than it is to putContinue reading “Time Is Not Renewable”
Plant-Based In Spring 2020
Keep your immune system strong with nutrient rich plant based food and ancestral foods. Although only few of our ancestors would have identified as vegans (lucky, if you can claim that), consider that their diet may have been 60% vegan and about 90% vegetarian. (Meat was highly prized, because it was rare and consumed atContinue reading “Plant-Based In Spring 2020”
Music Is the Fountain of Youth
Just look at classical musicians, conductors, people who really enjoy music — they remain young in spirit and very often in the body too. And it isn’t because the music they play is all new, hip or vanguard, but because there is a harmony in music that affects the cells and there is an orderContinue reading “Music Is the Fountain of Youth”
Claim Your Mind
The readiness to defend jerks at all costs, be they politicians, thinkers, people of influence, or gurus, just to be right and feel the short-lived “satisfaction” of rubbing it into another person’s face, is why we have the politicians we have, and why psychopaths can mess with the minds of the masses and are notContinue reading “Claim Your Mind”
Essential Workers During the Quarantine 2020
#essentialworkers #covid19 I have watched a number of essential workers holding back and fighting with their tears when I told them “Thank you for everything you are doing for us in this time.” I notice more women work in essential jobs than men. About 60% or so. Whatever the gender, it is a small thingContinue reading “Essential Workers During the Quarantine 2020”
Reward the Good
Appreciating good people (really, really appreciating them) and losing the taste for bad company is a skill you can learn… and practise for the rest of your life. It takes a small adjustment on your part. But this choice determines how you feel about life. It also ensures that you pay attention to what youContinue reading “Reward the Good”
A Path Is Made By Walking
Do create the conditions in which that what you wish for can grow… or even occur. If it seems impossible or improbable, remember that there is always the one first person who manifested something that hadn’t been there before and that this person wasn’t exactly listening to a list of reasons of “why it won’t work”,Continue reading “A Path Is Made By Walking”
Quarantine 2020
#socialdistancing #spring2020#qualitytime #withfamily #withself This unusual “off time” is an opportunity – to become comfortable with all your emotions and befriend yourself even more than you thought was possible– to teach your child, your children, your spouse, anyone who makes demands on your time emotional intelligence – by example, by example, of course– to makeContinue reading “Quarantine 2020”
Let Them Thrive
I have noticed that most plants that are useful to us — vegetables and fruit especially — benefit from some stimulation.. I will go out on a limb and say that they grow lusher and stronger when they experience the sense of being needed. That explains why many plants produce more when they are being pluckedContinue reading “Let Them Thrive”
The Spectrum of Promising Options
Choose to be realistic when people try to convince you that there is only one of two possibilities or a billion possibilities. Both extremes make you complacent and reactive instead of alert and wise. Between urgency without forethought and an indecisive spacing out, there is a spectrum of promising options. Some will fit into yourContinue reading “The Spectrum of Promising Options”
Heart-Link with the Helpful
Just for today, I am grateful for the people whose work makes my life easier. My deep appreciation goes to the hands of all who raise the food that keeps me strong. NJ 25 March 2015
Okay to All Feelings – Why Not?
Relax in the high waves while you swim. Don’t hold your breath. Release all tension. Let the waves throw you around a bit. Let the wind and water carry you. Isn’t it fun? Remember this exhilaration when the waves that are throwing you around are your feelings. Breathe freely. Relax your body. Stay calm inside.Continue reading “Okay to All Feelings – Why Not?”
Culture Sobering Up In 2020
Extremism in all its diverse forms has awakened the appreciation for balance, moderation, tact and class. Balance, moderation, tact and class were beautiful since time beginning, though extremely unpopular in the last thirty years, particularly in the last decade. Now this fatigue with provocations, out-of-control drama, feeling important only when scandalous is most likely aContinue reading “Culture Sobering Up In 2020”
Thankful
Every time you pour love into something you are offering, you nurture others with it, because people are drawn to love, that high level of focus and pleasure, and you nurture yourself with the permission to feel love and to express love. Look around: it is a remarkable privilege to be doing what you love.Continue reading “Thankful”
Outflow
As a creative, one of the most significant life themes you will master, is your sensitivity: you will replace self-doubt with more creativity and you will move away from critics who operate from a completely different part of their brain, or inner setting, and don’t experience their uninterrupted criticism (and fight within themselves), as aContinue reading “Outflow”
Pearl After Pearl
We have been offered predictions that are the opposite of a loving and fulfilling future. No one owes you a loving and fulfilling future. But life has also given you a radiant heart and a masterful mind capable of creating a loving and fulfilling future. And hands, legs, feet, the entire chakra system – fine-vibrationalContinue reading “Pearl After Pearl”
