What are your biggest challenges? At least once or twice a year I put myself on a fasting detox as part of my health and fitness programme. It always provides me with many challenges but it has to be done. Yesterday I returned from one of the most fantastic weddings that I have ever been to. I met many good friends that I haven't seen for a while and many new friends. I went away a few days earlier and had a few days in Barcelona before driving over to France for the wedding with my dad and two friends, Mike and David. During this period I have had plenty of food and drink that would not be deemed entirely healthy from a purist perspective. However, I have laughed more in the past week than I have in a good while - and I laugh a lo...

Thursday, September 02, 20109/2/2010 4:57:54 AM Spent much of the week's dream time in places and situations that were nightmares on steroids; this morning’s dream/walk was interesting in that a friend had picked me up from a tourist summer tropical market, she said of the past week hoped that I would see that I should be who I am not what others want me to be. That’s a tough one for most of us. We place conditions on ourselves and others not giving ourselves or others the chance to be who they are. I had forgotten is that what’s around me is much better than the realities of the recent dreams. In these dreams I was an observer not a participant making choices or an active part of the dream. We can observe yet making choices and bei...

It has almost been two weeks since I left Dallas on a journey of self-love. I packed up my car and drove to New Mexico to see friends in Santa Fe and followed up that delightful visit by heading to Colorado and seeing different sets of friends--staying at their homes and mixing in their lives for a few days at a time. I call it a journey of self-love because I keep clearing away the clutter in my mind and when I look out I see these wonderful people reflecting love back to me. I spent time in Eagle with some amazing and delightful children, and now am on my way to see my grandson. Children are so inspiring because they are always in the present. And that is pretty much what this journey has been about for me. Loving simply being...

At work five people went home yesterday and had to tell their families that they no longer had a job. Some of these people had worked there near twenty plus years and a long way from retirement, but at an age tough to get work. I know what it feels like-a pit in your stomach thinking where the next paycheck is coming from what you are going to tell your family. I know what it is to look for work that pays anything near what I made before or even get a job that you enjoy. Those with young kids in school or spouses that are not working are in a really bad spot. I know have been through the 1980ties in the US the corporate raiding and gutting of American companies many families were devastated. The breakup of families and divorce has ...

Two dead friends and one dead cat. Why?

Living and dying: Which do you prefer? Recently, I watched Inception. What a great film. It made me think about death and life. This was poignant as in the past month I have lost 2 friends and my cat, whom I was very close to. Death of others makes me question my own life. As a nurse it was part of a standard nursing assessment form to address living and dying with our patients. With little information on how to go about it, we were just supposed to address this aspect of a person’s health. The truth is that I never used to discuss it. I assumed that because someone was breathing that they must be living. How wrong could I have been? Part of my role as a nurse was to assess my patient’s potential for independence upon leaving...
