I repeat, Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. It took more than 4 decades for me to understand this verse. After all of hardened resistance to the simplicity of what is, and the endless regrets, fear and bottomless anxiety, I finally crack. And thank … Continue reading A crack

Dear self,
You will breathe life into whatever you focus on Dear self, I know the mood’s been low— add the bad weather to the mix, the extreme heat, You keep counting bad apples,as if the rot outweighs the orchard.Lately, you forget the quiet good. You forget: your legs still carry you at dawn, running 45 minutes … Continue reading Dear self,
Tired
I woke up tired this morning, I showed up to the word with a heaviness I can't explain. I'm short tempered, many things irritated me today. It's tiresome. My mind is so full of fear and worry, I kinda laughed myself when I said all is well, you're good enough. To re- direct my mind, … Continue reading Tired
Fast & Slow

Stillness
I woke up early and did some stretching yoga today! A very successful wake up I say, then I proceed to meditate for 10 minutes ( oh I'm using the "down dog" app for my meditation), so the guru said that inside us there's a beautiful stillness, a very peaceful place; we need to learn … Continue reading Stillness
Thoughts
Finally I am able to "notice" my thoughts... I can think about my thinking and not get carried away with it. I wasn't making stories or drama from it. It's liberating actually, I can talk to myself about noticing my thoughts. So when my mind said things like: I think This fledgling small business will … Continue reading Thoughts
Dreamful
Now I get it, the saying goes: you can do anything but you can't do everything. Most of the time, I want to do everything, I want to be everything for everyone, no wonder I disappoint all the time. I used to have this many 'want(s)'; I want to be a good mother, I want … Continue reading Dreamful
