The more you understand the differences …..the easier it will be to become more mindful.
Synchronicity and Silence
Have you ever experienced a time when you’ve been thinking about a friend, and then they call you “out of the blue?” Perhaps you find yourself somewhere you’ve never been before and realize that this location has been presented multiple times (e.g. you overheard it described; your best friend mentioned it; or perhaps you had a very detailed dream …
Be Your Best Friend
“Oh, you’re my best friend…” The lyrics of that song by Queen have been running through my mind lately. Which is a much better choice than what usually cycles and recycles through my monkey mind at times. I heard the song a few days ago, and it caused me to ponder: what if we truly were a best friend to …
It’s All About Perspective
He has a brain tumor!!! My first thought as I examined the lump behind his left ear. “Did you bump into anything? Hit your head on a cabinet door? Is it tender?” I peppered him with questions, trying to identify a logical explanation for the bulge. My husband had been experiencing sharp intermittent pains in his left ear for a …
Mind-Rut Thoughts

The Importance of Self-Gratitude
I’ve been reading about self-compassion lately, and wondering why it is so much easier to feel compassion for others and not ourselves. Why is it easier to forgive others for their missteps, but so hard to give ourselves grace? Those questions led me to ponder the nature of gratitude. Why is it difficult to recognize all the things in the …
Who Do You Want To Be?
This week I’ve been struggling with doubt. Self-doubt. I was sitting in a meeting a few days ago and I wondered, “am I really contributing here?” “Am I the right person with the right skills to help? There is so much this organization needs and I feel so inadequate to help it move forward. Am I the right person? …
Assumptions to Mindsets…..What are your Assumptions?
Someone asked me a few weeks ago, “Were you a cheerleader in high school, someone who was popular?” “No” I replied. “Well, I just can’t figure you out” she said. That exchange keeps wafting through my mind. At the time, I was astounded that someone could think I was a cheerleader or one of the “in crowd.” Upon reflection, the …
