The Power of Intention
It's been disturbing me that I've gotten rather spotty in my posting here. Every morning I wake up and check on myself, mainly to read (and cringe at) what kind of sleepy nonsense I managed to type into this space before I hit "publish" and then the pillow. It's just that it's November, and I … Continue reading The Power of Intention
Everyone Is Enlightened But Me
The weekend at the beach was perhaps the best time I ever had there. The weather was perfect, the water temperature was 70 degrees warm, the surf was amazing--strong and forceful and foamy. Our place was just "eh" but it was 100 steps from the beach and tucked away behind Rehoboth's only Juice Bar, so … Continue reading Everyone Is Enlightened But Me
The More Busy, the Less Creative
I have been running around very chicken-no-headish today, cleaning, packing, tying up loose ends, so that I can leave right after Yin Yoga class tonight and drive halfway to Rehoboth Beach,DE so that on Friday morning I can stand on the beach and wave to Hurricane Earl as he whooshes past. Packing up and leaving, … Continue reading The More Busy, the Less Creative
Some thoughts about aging
I can remember the exact day my mother became old. One day she was walking around in stylish clothes, sporting a nice haircut, and the next day she came home from the beauty parlor with short hair and a hideous perm. She suddenly started to talk about "acting her age." I heard her say "change … Continue reading Some thoughts about aging

The internet is all abuzz with Steve Slater, the Jet Blue flight attendant who grabbed a beer and "took the chute," but not before telling the woman who hit him with a suitcase to do go and do something biologically impossible. At the latest count he has over 50 thousand Facebook fans, and musicians are … Continue reading Steve Slater
Home Alone
I've been hanging out here by myself for the past three days and it's been interesting to watch how I live when no one else is watching. I go to bed at strange hours; I eat at unusual times; and I work in longer stretches than normal. I let my room get messy; I leave … Continue reading Home Alone
Breaking A Streak
My longest streak lasted 428 days. I did Holosync for 428 days straight and then it ended. It was a deliberate end. I didn't just "forget." I ordered what I thought was the next level (Level 3) and when I opened the box, they had sent me just the intro cd. My reaction was: WTF???!! … Continue reading Breaking A Streak
The Benefits of Streaking
So if we define "streaking" as a daily practice of tending to a thing that keeps us aligned with our dharma, or our core values, or our life mission, it stands to reason that the doing of that thing is going to promote calmness in us. Because when we are not in alignment, there is … Continue reading The Benefits of Streaking
Starting a Streak
I'm trying to get a new streak going here. I got derailed back in July, but now I'm trying to string some posts together and get my mojo back. I'm also trying to get a streak going in my paper journal, which is a lot easier than this, because there I can be all sloppy … Continue reading Starting a Streak
