Know Thyself, Live With Your Rhythm

Know Thyself. Be Authentically You. We strive to know ourselves, right?  To be authentic.  I strive for that.  In the Scorpion and Frog fable I wrote about once upon a time, the scorpion ended up stinging the frog, despite his promises not to.  He was being his authentic self.  When the frog asked the scorpion why he did it, he simply responded, “I’m a scorpion;  it’s in my nature.” Hmm…maybe for a scorpion, yes, but for humans?  Surely not.  That would mean whatever I say is my “nature,” I am pre-programmed to repeat, no matter how ardently I try to Continue reading >>

Inspired by the Novel, Life of Pi

In eager anticipation of the movie Life of Pi, being released this week (November 21, 2012), I’m sharing a post I wrote in April of 2011.  Read on to see how YOUR choices, Your intention, and how you tell Your story matters. Inspired by the Novel, Life of Pi Life of Pi, by Yann Martel, is an allegorical novel, one whose essence has stayed with me for over a decade.  I found the book fascinating, with its multi layered plot, the numerous religious themes presented, and the magical happenings woven throughout.  And all the while, the author subtly nudges the Continue reading >>

Up, Up, and Away

Up, Up, and Away

Lift Yourself Higher So You Can See Further   Is what you seek not right in front of you?  Does it seem entirely out of your reach?  Maybe your stance is such that it makes it difficult to see.  Perhaps immediately after you walk around the corner, there it is.  Or by climbing one more mountain, it awaits you there. Or. Maybe. In order to find what you seek, you must realize there is no seeking.  I know, I know — you’ve heard it all before.  But seriously, stop for a moment and do more than read the words set Continue reading >>

Growing Into You (Tackling Fears, Heaven and Hell)

Now, I may get in trouble on this one, but please stick with me and see where it goes.  Let me just put it out there — this post, this blog, is not about Jesus, the Bible, the Koran, Buddhism, organized religion, etc.  If you’ve been visiting TLT for any length of time, you know it’s about Trust, Love, Peace, Letting Go, Knowing You Are Enough, and Recognizing What Is.  It’s for those who are Seekers of Truth. If this resonates with you, please continue…. Earlier this summer, while shopping at the grocery store, I reached down in the produce Continue reading >>

Back to the Basics on This Whole ‘Holy Moly’ Thing

Back to the Basics on This Whole 'Holy Moly' Thing

I’ve been in New York City since last Friday on our family vacation.  It was the best!  A first for our boys.  I found myself observing them — A LOT.  Not just to make sure they looked both ways before crossing the street (oh, they were so oblivious to big city traffic!), but to watch their reactions, to watch them as they took in the city.  As a parent, to observe them experience the city was my biggest joy. So, why the nagging feeling in the back of my mind?  Yes, I was sure it was there, day and night. Continue reading >>
