Have you ever been searching for something? Only to realize that what you were looking for was there/here/within all along? I’ve been spending time traveling, reading, exploring, and connecting with people daily–while being open to a direction (East, South, West, North, anywhere?) to go next. I kept in mind the quotation from J.R.R. Tolkien (The … More Coming full circle

My curiosity is taking me away from the comforts and safety of home. And it can be a real stretch, a focused learning, to navigate buses, subways, weather changes, food, people who are different from my friends, and new languages and money exchanges. Yikes! Just when something starts to make sense, a surprise appears around … More more “unbelievable” travel help

It’s been a whirlwind summer, with too many reasons to go somewhere other than home. Makes me wonder just how soon we will all be able to time travel (if you can dream it…who knows?;-) Last week I was with a friend who has bought my book, “Cosmic Office Inc.” and she has been creating … More It’s travel time!

New? Different? Feelings of being out of a comfort zone can be scary (even very scary), but I think every new “stretching” out into new territory is important. I once thought through every single scenario of what could possibly happen in a new situation, but now I figure on these things: if an opportunity presents … More Trying something new

It’s a word usually connected with human rights, society, and government–the big picture. How about…we consider the individual and even a moment of time. That is, consider that every single second we each have the freedom of what to imagine, dream, contemplate. It doesn’t necessarily mean that anyone may be free enough to come and … More Freedom

It seems that many of us are raised to think that our behavior (going to church, being kind, etc.) somehow makes us “worthy” of positive things happening to us. While I think some positive actions may spin into a positive frame of mind, there may be more to it. Many people throughout the centuries have … More What’s luck got to do with it?

May is drawing to a close, and I’m amazed at how I missed at least one blog note for you loyal followers the entire month–up until now! More work assignments than usual (a good thing), more health things to deal with (sometimes a good thing), and more get togethers with new folks (always a good … More Time–a minute of notes

And what are Cosmic “nudges,” you might ask? I’m sure (with a little bit of effort in getting quiet and away from all distractions–noise, other people, etc.) there are moments that everyone feels connected with their intuition. [alert: shameless sales pitch follows] Intuition seems to be especially powerful when one can get calm and pay … More Cosmic “nudges”

Mindfulness seems to be a popular word these days. There’s mindful eating, singing, thinking, exercising–the list goes on and on. Last month, I spent 3 hours presenting a “Mindfulness/Meditation” session with interested participants at our local community college http://www.pvcc.edu/academics/instructional-divisions/workforce-services where I was reminded that the best thing about teaching anything is learning something myself. And … More Being aware, tuned in, etc.

Interesting how days and weeks and months go by, and then (drumbeat) there’s a new season! Unless living really close to the equator, the changes are visible, but maybe too subtle to notice. Is it possible to be certain and sure that the seasons will change as we expect? What about the uncertainty and doubt … More About Spring, the seasons, certainty and uncertainty
