Continue On One's Path, Move Forward, Journey

In the Native American Yuman language, Mii Amo means: To continue on one’s path, moving forward, or journey. During a recent trip to celebrate our health, a girlfriend and I visited the Mii Amo Spa, located in Sedona, Arizona.  What an ideal location to Celebrate-Self! As we were getting settled into our room, we noticed scrolls on our beds. Their contents set the tone for the quiet introspection that would follow: Everything is as it should be and I recognize the perfection in my life daily. Today, I will do my best and trust that is enough. I am responsible 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 >>

The Art of Stone Stepping

“Let me not think of my work only as a stepping stone to something else, and if it is, let me become fascinated by the shape of the stone.”  ~ Ze Frank How often are you focused on the end result?  I admitted in Friday’s post that being focused on the destination is where I often live, unfortunately, not always enjoying the beauty of the journey. And what about these stepping stones?  The bits and pieces along the way helping to take us from point A to B and from B to C.  How insignificant the stepping stones appear.  Even Continue reading >>

Ahhh, Simple Pleasures

Ahhh, Simple Pleasures

My friend went away for the three-day Easter weekend.  Before she left, she asked me if I’d stop in and check on her cat, Penny.  Just make sure she has food and water, that sort of thing. Penny the Cat lives across the street and two doors down.  An easy hop, skip, and a jump for my boys and me to make several times a day.  The first time we went to check on Penny, we arrived with board games and Mockingjay, juice boxes and string cheese, clearly ready to campout for several hours.  And campout we did.  Several rounds Continue reading >>

The Way

Nov 022011
 

Looking for a good movie?  One that you haven’t heard a lot about, but when you sit down, you’re sure to be pleasantly surprised?  That’s how I felt as I watched, “The Way.”  It’s a father-son project, where father, Martin Sheen starred and son, Emilio Estevez, wrote, produced, and directed. The entire movie was filmed in France and Spain, along the actual Camino de Santiago, a route that’s been traveled for over a thousand years as a pilgrimage for any and all who are so inclined to do so.  The Way or ‘walk’, more appropriately called the ‘Camino’, is not Continue reading >>
