Today is the first anniversary of this blog. For a full year I’ve been posting (almost) daily my reflections, observations, and experiences from a focused practice of inner peace. Do I feel more peaceful after one year?
I’m much more in tune with my thoughts and emotions. I’m much more aware of my triggers and recipes [...]

I got to be with the woman I love today for two hours. This is the relationship that “ended” about two months ago. It didn’t end, of course, because we are still relating, as friends. It changed.
But it didn’t. That’s what I experienced tonight. We still love each other and we’re still as connected as [...]

There’s a saying I love: When God sends you a gift, he wraps it in a problem.
After talking to a friend today about some of his challenges in his relationship, I realized that this saying explains more than one past romantic relationship of mine in a way that I haven’t previously considered. I got the [...]
Day 45 (2008-11-22): The conscious recognition of beauty

Today I finished a huge de-cluttering project. I finally worked my way through all of the paperwork clutter in my office. I’ve had a pile (or piles) of varying size for as many years as I can remember. It feels liberating — and a little scary — to not have it. It’s kind of like [...]
Day 44 (2008-11-21): Love is a choice

I had this funny memory today about my best friend from high school. It made me think about our friendship, how tight we were — totally on each other’s side, totally supportive, and genuinely enjoying every moment we were together. And I realized this:
We created that. It didn’t just happen to us. For whatever reason, [...]

It’s been almost a week since I last posted. I’ve had thoughts to several times, but made other choices. I’m comfortable with those choices and I’m conscious that I benefit from more consistent posting to this blog, so I’m recommitting to daily posting, even if it means the posts will be shorter than usual.
This evening [...]

Source of Inspiration: Morgana Rae’s Abundance and Prosperity Blog
Tonight at PONG (my weekly Power of Now Group), we discussed gratitude using the 3-step process outlined by Morgana Rae in her recent blog post. It was one of the coolest discussions we’ve had in recent memory.
Here are some of the highlights:
Healthy am I. Happy am I. [...]

I’ve spent the past few days swinging in and out of feeling sorry for myself. Poor me and the unfortunate circumstances of my life. How dreadful! (As Eckhart Tolle says…and then he chuckles. He rocks.)
Miguel Ruiz in Mastery of Love suggests that we be ourselves in our relationships so that when someone falls in love [...]
Day 27 (2008-11-04): You are my witness

The question of why I created this blog comes up from time to time. Not from other people as much as within myself. Am I vain for posting such personal information? Do I crave attention? I’m confident the answer is no to both questions. But until today I didn’t really understand what the answer was. [...]
Day 26 (2008-11-03): Water

Thanks to Bev for tonight’s topic at PONG (my Power of Now Group). We talked about the different qualities of water as metaphors for how we can choose to live our lives. The quality I admire most is how water nourishes whoever drinks it. This feels aligned with my sentiment on Friday about choosing to [...]
