Continuing Education

We all get caught up in our daily life… we get bored, we get overwhelmed – we just have days when we want to go home and hide. I feel that with the added stress of COVID 19 and all the strangeness that it has created we are all facing burnout at an amazing rate. Things we should enjoy and take pride in are just annoying and too much work. For me, I have realized learning something new it my…

Here we go!

I understand the world is in a bit more unsettled than most of us have every seen in our lifetime. We all have the ability to see all of the conflict etc, we don’t need me to add to the mess directly but I will have too because oh – reality!

What I want to explore today is just life. I realized we are rapidly coming to the end of summer and my brain still feels like it is March. It may be…

Life has been busy, I lost a cat and added a year.

Life has been busy, I lost a cat and added a year.

It has been some time since my last blog post. Life has been crazy busy and I just didn’t feel like I had the additional time to sit down at my computer. A person might ask what was I so busy doing? Well, you would think I had tons of things accomplished… you would be wrong. Some amazing things, some exciting things… but not Tons of things.

I did begin an exciting journey to make better…

Busy busy

Wow. I did miss last week. I have been more busy than normal and simply ran out of time.

I am sad that things are as busy as they are – I haven’t been able to get out and explore and play. Unfortunately that is where so much of this blog comes from – I haven’t been feeding the coyote.

Truthfully this will probably become a bi weekly or once monthly post. I need more time to get out…

Unexpected beauty

I think it is safe to say that most people have a ��bucket list”. Most of those list include amazing places to visit. I guess I really don’t have a “bucket list.” I hope I live every day to the best of my ability and feel blessed when I have the opportunity to go above and beyond my day to day.

I did have a few places on this planet that I would almost go out of my way to NOT visit. After…

Balanced

So a week into the New Year and where am I at? Well I have yet to get a good long term goal lined out. Ed and I are teetering between two different ones so that is at least in the works! I have 2 good short term goals defined and have begun working toward them both. They actually aren’t just goals and I should not call them short term because I really want them both to become part of my life –…

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! It is so hard to believe that 2018 has come and gone and in just a couple day’s we will be flipping the calendar to 2019!

We all have different traditions and ways of celebrating. I personally am not one to get out and about too much on New Year’s Eve. Until recently I would rarely leave my house but the last couple of years we have spent with family and friends…

Busy times

I wish you all the best Holiday! It is a busy time of year and I am taking this week off from the blog.

Happy Holiday's - It's ok with me.

Happy Holiday’s – It’s ok with me.

Happy Holiday’s everyone!  I know so many people have found this term offensive for years now – so why on earth am I poking that bear!  Because, I personally don’t find it offensive and I am more than happy to tell you why. 

I find that so many people find the “Holiday” season to be so stressful.  We are told that it is a time of celebration and joy, but unfortunately for what ever reason for…

For most of my life I have been lucky to enjoy an eclectic range of music.  As with so many people I know music is so much more than something playing in the background while I clean house or make my daily commute.  Music is my life, my soul , it has the power to make memories, to bring memories front and center, the power to change my mood and to bring my household into peace and…

Unconventional

What an amazing week end.  The blog is a day late but I have been out and about having adventures.  Usually when I travel  I write it ahead of time but I anticipated a great week end leaving me with some positive blog fodder.

A couple weeks ago I had mentioned being on a social media fast.  I felt I may have sounded very negative about social media in general.  This week will show a much happier,…

Conversations

It is so amazing to me how we just go on about our daily routines and lose track of so many things.  We lose track of friends, family and sometimes even ourselves.   This is something that I try to be aware of  but often times realize – Hey, When was the last time I heard from or physically saw  ( insert name here).  Sometimes it is a friend that comes to mind, other times a neighbor or a distant…

Words are powerful

So we are just a few days away from Thanksgiving.  It seems to be that there has been so much going on in my little corner of the world.  We have celebrated  Halloween , voted in Mid term elections and survived our first record breaking snow of the season.  I wonder how we have all fared?  Well… some better than others.

For the last 2 weeks I have made the decision to be on social media less…

Foundations

As a Yoga teacher and practitioner for close to 20  years I have seen some interesting things and met some awesome people.  I was lucky to have some amazing teachers on my path specifically in the beginning, when I was establishing my foundation in Yoga (not that I haven’t always had some awesome guides).

My Yoga practice did start with video’s but soon I wanted to learn, to read and to go to…

Strange visits

It is crazy to believe that October has already come and gone.  I feel it went by entirely too fast.   I truly enjoyed writing about paranormal experiences.  It was a fun time.

Ed and I like to explore.  We truly love getting off the beaten path.  Most people enjoy going to movies and out to eat.   We love driving down dirt roads just seeing what there is to see.

One thing that I have loved to do…

"Be responsible for the energy you bring into a space. "

“Be responsible for the energy you bring into a space. “

“Be responsible for the energy you bring into a space. ”  I have said this so many times.  I have posted photos on Facebook, I have reminded my Yoga students time after time, I have had lengthy conversations with multiple people about this concept, but I am human.  I forget on occasion and once I was very strongly reminded.  The following is an account of one such day and the reminder I received.

When you least expect it..

When you least expect it..

I can’t tell you how many times I have gone out “ghost looking”.  Specifically looking for a haunted spot or a fun ,exciting haunted experience.  I will say for about 99.9% of those times I have experienced nothing.  Nada… Nope and Nope.

Most of the interesting experiences have been when my guard was down, when I had no expectations at all for experiences  of anything remotely paranormal.  Most…
