Today I did something unusual, I spent the day on the other side of the island with one of my best friends, Diane. From the start Diane has been sort of a mentor and spiritual advisor. She's seen me through a lot of growth and changes since we met 7 years ago. She never pushed, never gave me advice until I asked for it. But she is so full of wisdon when I do ask. She doesn't drive so I took her shopping at a health food store, then we sat outside the sotre and talked for 3 hours. Because of my h… Continue

Today was very hot and muggy, the good thing about summer is that the pool is warm! Yay!!! I have put my wetsuit away for the winter. Our rec center pool, one block away from my house, opens up early 3 days a week for our exercise group. I realized this morning as I exercised for an hour in the pool, t… Continue

I will try to do a adequate job of summing up the first 100 days, though no words will suffice. My goals were difficult to articulate, as are the results, which exceeded any and all expectations. During my first 100 days my goals were: * To attain peace, balance, stillness. * To keep my wants in line with my needs *To be at the disposal of the Power of the Universe *To improve family relationships *To streamline my business, improve concentration, and make more time for myself and my family * To… Continue
