The world is powered by passionate people, powerful ideas, and fearless action. What’s one strong belief you possess that isn’t shared by your closest friends or family? What inspires this belief, and what have you done to actively live it? I don't think I could have a "closest friend" that didn't share my "strong beliefs." … Continue reading Trust 30: Day 3: Close Friends
Trust 30, Day 2:The Day in One Sentence
If ‘the voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tracks,’ then it is more genuine to be present today than to recount yesterdays. How would you describe today using only one sentence? Tell today’s sentence to one other person. Repeat each day. Today I stood on my head on the … Continue reading Trust 30, Day 2:The Day in One Sentence
Trust 30: Day 1: 15 Minutes to Live
I have just signed a pledge for the Trust 30 Challenge, so for the next 30 days, I will be blogging in response to whatever the prompt of the day happens to be. Today's was a doozey, and it took more time (and words) than I am happy about. Hopefully, in the coming days I … Continue reading Trust 30: Day 1: 15 Minutes to Live
I love my life
Sometimes it just has to be said: I love my life. So many times I focus on the things I don't like about my life, my situation, the weather, the whatever. But man. When all is said and done, I love my life. I am at this very minute sitting on my deck looking at … Continue reading I love my life
20 Minutes A Day
All of my little rituals each take 20 minutes. For example: It takes me about 20 minutes to write 750 words. I set my Insight Timer for 20 minutes when I meditate. It takes me 20 minutes to do my little circuit on the MU Stadium steps. Funny, how in a mere 20 minutes I … Continue reading 20 Minutes A Day
I’m Back
Wow. That was intense. The April Yoga Challenge wrapped up on the 30th of last month, and here I am, still a little woozey, 2 weeks later. (I still fully intend to do a proper wrap-up post about the "30 Days of Amazing" on Virtual Yogarians, but I really miss being here on IL (Inspiration … Continue reading I’m Back

5 Things To Do While You Figure Out What You Want to Be When You Grow Up
I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up until I was 51 years old. When I finally found “my thing" it wasn't the thing I thought it would be, and it certainly wasn’t anything anyone would ever pay me to do. But by that point, I didn't really care about money. … Continue reading 5 Things To Do While You Figure Out What You Want to Be When You Grow Up
A Tsunami of Caring
Here I am, sitting in my pretty house, typing on a very nice laptop, with more than enough food and warmth on this sleepy, newly-clocks-turned-ahead morning on the verge of spring, wondering: How do I get to have the freedom of distance from all the horror and sorrow in this morning’s papers? How do I … Continue reading A Tsunami of Caring
12 Things I’m Loving Right Now
I know that "The Best Things In Life Aren't Things" but lately I've been trying to focus my attention away from this endless winter, and on all the things I do really love and appreciate in my life. This post is about things. Objects, food, technology, yoga apparel and gear. All the things that I … Continue reading 12 Things I’m Loving Right Now
