Insights come to me at what appear to be the oddest times. But is there really an odd time or is it that we're "in the space" to see, hear or feel it? If one takes the position that "right here and now" is the perfect time, then the space where we are is perfect. Today I did my Yoga practice on our dock. With a background of birds chirping, the wind light enough to keep the bugs at bay and making me really work on holding the balance postures, our resident mink swam from the dock to the big rock to watch as my dog fell asleep by my mat.

What is tapping you on the shoulder?
What is tapping you on the shoulder? Got a concern bothering you? An ache that doesn’t go away? Some thought niggling away at you?

Maybe lining up your actions to match who you really are? What "new and good" things do you want to renew from 2012 and take with you into 2013? What small to grand things will you rejoice over from 2012? How do you rejoice...what does that look like for you? In 2013, one of my top goals is to designate the space (meaning the time and place) to experience "self", the inward journey of being more present and centred. Truly … [Read more...]
