Pearls from Clams: Cinquain

Does it make sense to you that when you keep bumping into something in your life, it is about you rather than just about what (or whom) you are bumping in to? That has been happening for me again. I enjoyed using a new poetry form to gain insight and freedom.

The form of […]

Old Enough

Do you remember wanting to be old enough for kindergarten? Old enough to stay home alone? Old enough to babysit? Old enough to drive a car? Old enough to vote or drink?

Remember when you thought forty was old?

One of the best things about age is its relativity. I was mother to a […]

Happy Birthday Bradley!

Twenty-seven years ago today, I became a grandma. Grandparenting has been and is one of the most glorious roles of my life, but I often say I went kicking and screaming into it. I was only thirty-nine when our daughter, Stacey, told us she was expecting. I was working full time. I did volunteer work. […]

Edema

Perhaps you remember having heard the name Dr. Saul Shaye. If not, I certainly hope this post gets your attention.

I had swollen feet after the drive home from Tennessee for our Thanksgiving visit. I chalked that up to having eaten way too much junk.

So if you’re experiencing heartbreak, be it romantic, in your work life, or if you feel let down by […]

What are the Odds?

When we were kids, we dealt with difficult situations. Sometimes we were bullied. Sometimes we didn’t get a new toy. Sometimes we were yelled at. We then developed defenses based on these events. The problem is that a lot of the times we don’t grow up and move on past these defenses or events. They […]

Here we are!

My precious friend, Erin Hamilton, is one of the most courageous women I know, and I know a lot of really courageous women!

Erin opened her December blog post this week with the words, “Here we are.” Erin is writing about the birth of her twins, Lennox and Ella. Lennox will be celebrating his […]

Your Yoga!

Health and fitness are just the side-benefits of Hatha Yoga. Classical Hatha Yoga is a powerful system to prepare the system for a “cosmic download” and explore our full potential.

Recently I was smitten by the title of an article by Stephen Cope about yoga: Everything Is Already OK. When I was thirty something, I […]
