An Objective [goal] you can work on before year’s end
I have been building my yoga practice since starting my yoga teacher training in September. It has been slow going. Since my mother’s death, it has been even slower, and more or less a mental wish, more than anything else. My motivation has been zapped. But as I wrote about before, I am giving myself…

Memories from the past year that make me smile
My Dad got a cat and he and my step-mom are doting new pawrents. Cleo is an adorable little tuxedo kitten they got from the Humane Society. She is a sweet, well tempered, well behaved kitten that likes people, treats, and her large toy collection. My Dad and step-Mom post many pictures of her and…

One thing I want to continue making progress on in 2026
I am not a resolution setter. I don’t even really like setting goals. The most I do is daily ‘to do’ lists, which is manageable for me. However, part of what I set out to do as I entered my 50s was get myself a little bit ‘healthier’ (said as I sit here at 11:30pm…

What do I see ahead for me? I think it depends on the context and I am a big believer in worrying about jinxing myself! Lots of people believe we can manifest things.

Day 8: Eight Days of Gratitude (Lion’s Gate Portal) – gratitude for myself
Today was a bit puzzling… In so far as we had to look to ourselves to find it. Gratitude for ourselves. What qualities of mine am I grateful for? How have I shown up for myself? My physical, emotional, mental self. moments I’ve been kind to myself. Acts of courage. Capacity to love. Ability to…

Day 29: The future’s so bright!
Things that seem bright about your future! In 1986, a band called Timbuk 3 released a song called The Future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades. As far as I know, it was the their only hit. But what a hit it was, it is one of those phrases that has been adopted in to…

Day 4: A small win
A small win you’ve had lately – I must admit, this perplexed me a bit. I don’t really look at things as “wins/losses”. What may be small to one, could be large to someone else. Now, we recently did some renovations and both the flooring and the dropped ceiling came in under my initial budget!…
