10 Important Things That I have Found Out While Being On a Spiritual Retreat

Frogdom

I am 12 days into my spiritual retreat and I have found out that:
1. I am more creative when I don't have to schedule in time for being creative.
2. I am enjoying being spontaneous and not having to do things on schedule.
3.  I am willing to be more open emotionally when my schedule lets me be more open with my time.

Every Little Thing

Turtle Things

I have been having a hard time healing from a cough/cold/achey event that I came down with about one week ago. I know that this could  be the flu or it could be a cough/cold/ achey thing. The latter has much less symbolic meaning to it than the former description. Sometimes, when we don't label something, it is easier to heal.  When  we establish new neural pathways than we can create easier shifts in our well being.

Happy New Year -Hop Into Your New LIfe

Happy Frog Year

 Our inner and outer worlds  are colliding right now. If you find yourself slammed with too many things that are going awry then it is time to slow down and sip your tea.  If you don't like what you are seeing then it is time to change it. If you like it , then keep doing what you are doing. Feel the feelings, they are your GPS to your New Year.

Invisible Warriors

What if we are all invisible warriors. We get up every morning and we  do the very best that we can.

Frog Sighting

We cope with health, employment, housing, taxes, children, parents etc. We don't even notice how many small challenges we face every day. We simply muster through them.

Kindnesses and Small Frog Wishes

My Husband and I went to see the movie, St. Vincents last night. It is the story of  the relationship between an aging Vietnam Veteran, Bill Murray and his 12 year old neighbor, Jaeden Liberher told in a candid, sometimes painful and always heart felt manner.

And the Turtle Smiled

I wonder how we forgot all that we are. I wonder why we insist that we are weak, powerless and un knowing. When we forget who we are, we start getting distracted by everything that is going wrong in the world. Then we take a breath and remember that we are all enough.

Finding Compassion for Self

So what do you do if you do not have any idea about how to be compassionate to yourself. In fact, it might be such a foreign concept that it seems ridiculous to even think about it........
