Some people are easily ruffled when anything happens that they don’t like. They’re “very sensitive” beings. They can rattle off a list of things people have done to them, or now do to them, and, at the same time, are completely oblivious of the part they play in the events of their life. They interpret [...]
Other than the charming song Alouette which my mother enjoyed singing, and which is firmly anchored in my mind, no one sang nursery rhymes, or told those famous fairy tales to me when I was very young. I guess you’re either in a nursery rhyme family or you’re not. And I don’t recall seeing any [...]
I want to think light and fun on this rainy day. You, too? A rainy day is a calm day unless one’s schedule is on overload. A rainy day is a slower day because accidents happen more easily if we don’t make it a slower day. Have you ever slipped and fallen on a rainy [...]
Words are powerful. That’s why I’m wondering why doctors are at liberty, when a serious illness is diagnosed, to plant a seed in the mind of a patient as to how long s/he has to live. The mind is powerful, too, and when words of doom and gloom are uttered, they’re not easily forgotten, and [...]
If you have a free weekend or more, and have money in your account screaming to be used, I have an idea. I know someone who’s been researching spas and decided that the Chopra Wellness Center in NYC could very nicely handle a desire of hers to straighten out the way she thinks about food, [...]

I went away last week-not far-but far enough to see that life is just a little different there than it is here at the moment. That’s always okay because one finds food for thought in places that are different. What wonderful conversations I had with three people at three different times. Neat! Interestingly, these conversations [...]
I very much like the idea of reincarnation, not that it matters, one way or another. It seems a wonderful way of sorting out things. Do you feel the same? I didn’t always think this way. When I first heard a simple explanation of the word reincarnation years ago, I actually felt stuck-yes, stuck in [...]
We’re complaining about the weather, for a good reason. Do you think that our planet is trying to tell us something by way of the weather? We all know that, aside from getting our act together, and keeping our planet from choking and dying from all the pollution we’ve given it to digest, there’s nothing [...]
A few days ago as I was walking along a street, I could see two men in work-clothes standing on the sidewalk facing the side of a parked red truck. As I continued walking in their direction, I noticed their eyes never left the truck. They looked lost in thought when viewed from a block [...]
