On Spiritual Teachers

I am listening to an audio book that an online friend gave me, “A Thousand Names for Joy” by Byron Katie. It’s awesome! She intersperses quotes from the Tao Te Ching, but this quote is actually from Katie herself: “I don’t ever see myself as a spiritual teacher. Of course, you can use me by […]

You Belong Here

“Wanting to belong is when we get into trouble. The wanting is the beginning of control and distortion and inauthenticity. This wanting comes from our programming that we don’t belong.

E.B. White said, “I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” Although, I believe that truly being joyful will actually improve things. So, there’s the solution. Have a lovely day!

Rampage of Invincibility

I don’t usually watch videos online that much, but this one just has to be shared. My thanks to the women on the RU-LOA list for passing it along and raving about it so that I actually went and clicked on the link this time. Wow. I can feel the amazing energy coming through, even […]

Fours

Sometimes things happen in fours. Even if they’re lists of things that I’ve encountered while reading. Such as: “Each read-aloud, then, is a language arts lesson, bolstering the four language arts: the art of reading, the art of listening, the art of writing, and the art of speaking.”– Jim Trelease, “The Read-Aloud Handbook” “The beginner […]
