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 >>

Rock Solid Love

Rock Solid Love

It Takes Self Love One of my closest girlfriends had just lost 100 pounds and I was one year cancer free!! We had both hit major milestones! I cannot imagine what she must have felt, how proud she must have been to lose 100+ pounds — all by working her butt off! Getting up before the crack of dawn, leaving the house to workout in the dark, and focusing on healthy food choices. She took no shortcuts. Day after day after day (for years — this is a true example of how slow and steady wins the race!). What an 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 >>

The Gift of Forrest Gump

The Gift of Forrest Gump

I imagine we’re all familiar with the 1994 film Forrest Gump.  Forrest, the main character, has been described as leading a serendipitous life.  At each turn it appears that Life, with all its twists and turns, is smiling down on him. He managed to meet not one, not two, but three US presidents: JFK, LBJ, and Richard Nixon.  He was constantly in the right place at the right time – even when it appeared he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Like when he served and fought in Vietnam, and was later awarded the Medal of Honor.  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 >>
