My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Maybe it just me, but every now and again, I consider our adjectives and wonder at the commonalities or intensity of meaning according to letters of the alphabet. For example, have you ever thought about ‘con’ words? Contemplation. Conscientiousness. Concrete. All these ‘con’ words connect to the mind. Today as I sit to write my mind is a bit unsettled. As I tried to pinpoint how I would describe it these words came…

  • Every day I see people – well, almost every day. I generally force myself to get out at least once in a day even if it is just for my lessons/sessions. Despite this, I still regularly crave going into a cave and hiding into my own world. For some this might be considered as anti-social or even odd behavior. For others, you get it. 😉 The problem with spending too much time on…

  • If I were to describe myself to others who might not know me, I would say that I am: *organized *no nonsense *quiet, but not shy *a listener and observer (introverted) *conditional giver (yes, I only give under certain conditions, but then I give forever and always) *loyal once one has gained my trust and respect *traditional in etiquette, manners, and behaviors *stubborn 😛 *a problem-solver *confident *writer *teacher *moderate *stable (despite my up…

  • Just two days ago I wrote about my upcoming article on Aprilmag.com. Well, it was published without my realizing it and is now up on the magazine page! It feels good to be writing regularly again and I feel as if each time I am upping my game a bit. It gives me confidence again about writing and looking for other ways to generate income doing it. THIS is my dream, after all….…

  • It has been a while since I’ve talked about my ‘kids’. They are just now three years old! It is hard to believe. They are still babies and Pippi is young at heart to be sure. 😛 It is hard to capture video of them when they are being crazy and wild. Besides, it’s so much cuter to capture sleeping kitties. 😉 Thankfully, they have recovered their sisterly love and attachment after their…

  • I was working on my next article for April Magazine and was sharing stories with a lady I met at book club a few weeks back. She said how curious a thing it is that people want everyone to fit into “neat little boxes”. I like this description and also wonder at it. Before I discuss others’ need for this, I first reflect upon myself. Am I the same? Do I make my own limiting…

  • For the first time in years I am not actually celebrating Thanksgiving with my friends-family. We had initially planned to have a big bash, but with limited furniture and funds we decided to postpone a large party. It is sad, really. Then again, it has definitely been a year of reflecting, shifting and starting anew. Thus, it is not that surprising that a change in my usual activities has occurred. My hope is…

  • Yep, I actually Googled the definition of masochism this morning. Why? Because, I wonder if my subconscious is really masochistic…. 😐 I feel as if the darkness is winning these days. It is the season of being thankful, thinking about presents and the coming family-time, looking forward to the new year on the horizon with all that it promises. To do this, I have to reflect over the year…. Things I am Thankful…

  • So yesterday I wrote about my lack of certainty mostly regarding what I am doing with my life. As I spent most of the day on my own and processing my thoughts – fighting with the dark and light in my head – I came to some new realizations. Let me share a few. *I am not accustomed to things being difficult in life or my career. For the first time, I have…

  • Sometimes when I take the time to share what is going on in my life or when I stop to think about it, I can see why people say to me, “I do not know how you do it.” Most of the time I never think about the how or even the why. I just do it. Overall, life is good – really. However, as I finished up my last yoga teacher training…
