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!

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...

The Four Agreements - The Baseline

  So I bought the book.  It's smaller than I thought it would be.  Since I am always hoping that the solution to an problem can be found if you just look long and hard enough, I'm still not sure if short means it's an easy solution, or no solution at all. The book itself has some singing endorsements from many self-help gurus who I don't know other than by name.   It's disheartening to me to realize that there are thousands of folks out there preaching their brand of "if you just knew this, did this and continued to strive for excellence every day" because if any of them had the real secret (ah yes, then there is "The Secret") we would only really need one book/podcast/app etc. Thirty years ago the self help section at Chapters filled one rack top to bottom.  Looking for this book, I had to wander through ISLES of self-help, wellness and  spirituality before I found what I was looking for. How Chapters has evolved into a pillow/candle/water bottl...

Putting the Personality Puzzle Together

Youngest is 11 now and has grown a new appendage.  It's called his phone, which in reality is just an alternative gaming device in his eyes.   Good news is, he is usually quick to answer it if I call him because he usually has it in his hand.   Bad news, his "clashing of clans"  or "dashing of geometry" prompt radical mood changes on the success or failure of little armies and racing cogs. Spouse and I are as much to blame in some ways.  Sometimes it is easy to just let them quietly be........so I can quietly be. However, as last Christmas approached, we all had a discussion about family and finding more balance between games, reading, tv, movies, etc.    Santa Clause must have heard us and brought us a few puzzles for Christmas. So in early January, with a week before school was back in and Middle at his mom's and Oldest back at school, I busted out one of the puzzles, poured some hot cocoa and started the long task of fl...
