Tiny Buddha

Most mornings I try to take a quick review of my Inbox to see what sales have landed, who is living the Faceobook life of my dreams, what adorable kittens are doing and who is posting what.  


I love Tiny Buddha as they offer such a wide range of blogger writing---all incredibly insightful---and each with a different tone or angle.  \\

It's the same with food.  I simply cannot sit down at a table and eat and entire plate of spaghetti, or stew, or chilli or some such thing.  Maybe my taste buds get bored. I dunno.  I like to have a wide variety of tastes and choices on my plate---and I have a bit of this and a bit of that as I go.  This is why buffets are incredibly dangerous to most people.  Tooo many choices!!!

The only exception I will make for this is a huge salad.  When I have salad, I add fruit and nuts and a protein of some kind, and I can combine various tastes on each mouthful.  So one bite might have blue cheese, grapes and spinach and another might be romaine, chicken and almonds.  Mmmmmm now I am hungry.

The point of all of this is that Tiny Buddha is like my salad.  On the surface, it looks like you will be getting just the one thing---but you can pick and choose what you like---each post being unique and wonderful in its own right.

I invite you to take a look!  Today--- will spend some time there myself---see you at the salad bar!

Emotional Echos - Moments in Time

here are moments in time that define you. They are etched in your memory in a way that if you close your eyes you can see them again; feel them again. They are an emotional echo ---so strong, they leave an imprint on your soul. When I was eleven, my favorite "uncle" died suddenly, in my house, while I was off at the grandparents. He and my "aunt" came to town for a week long visit after moving away one year earlier and my parents decided to throw a grand party and invite all their old friends. My sister and I were sent to the grandparents for the weekend, and I was promised the week after we could come home and I could have "Uncle Bill" all to myself! I learned much later that early Sunday morning, my "aunt" woke up when my uncle accused her of stealing the covers. They both rolled back over and went back to sleep. Between then and 10 AM when she work up again, he had experienced a cardiac event (not his first I am sad to say) i...

It's All About the Here and Now

Today is a good day.   I have positioned my laptop on the dining room table in a way so that I can see the bird feeders.  Even through the closed doors I can hear the unique  warble of the yellow finches that have recently begun to frequent my yard.   This morning, cardinals-- the male brilliant in his scarlet coat and black mask -- returned, and as I watched, the male flew back and forth from the sunflower seeds to feed his mate .    Watching the birds gives me great joy and so I am trying to take the time to do this each day.  Were it not for this blog and how it makes me sit down and think, I can't say I would sit still long enough to do this. Taking time for myself is still a foreign concept. It is ironic that I have tried to attract birds to our pet free, quiet yard for years and the first year we have two dogs (one a squirrel/bird chasing terrier who launches hers...

Keeping Afloat in Darkness - When Robin Williams is Gone

A few weeks ago Robin Williams was everywhere you looked. People were desperate for details; to find the one thing that assured them that his situation was so different from theirs that they are safe; that it could never be them. But if you suffer from depression, the suicide of such a brilliant, successful, individual; part of our lives for so many years and responsible for so many laughs; looks like a leak in your boat. A friend asked me, "Ok but no one knows what the future holds.  Could he not see that?" For someone drowning in the dark spiral of depression, there is no future. There is only now. There is only nothing.  The boat is gone.  You are under. It is not about your spouse or your friends or your kids or career or fans or dogs or anything.  When the darkness squeezes it is all about now.  And now is nothing.  It is bleak and empty and so dark, you cannot see a bottom, or edges or surface ---just darkness. "Some...
