Straight From Mom

“A bad day for the Ego is a good day for the Soul.” ~ Michael Beckwith

Your Zen Approach to Happiness… It took me a while to figure that out.

Have you ever felt like you wasted a beautiful day by pushing your way through, and by the end of the day you were frustrated that you couldn’t make it happen?

Last week I had one of those days, and oh, my gosh!

Some days I have to pinch myself…

While waking up and feeling our kitten’s silky fur on my chest as she’s purring her heart out…

How many things do you BELIEVE in and DO in your life “Because everybody else does…?”

If you have teenagers, you've probably been given this as an excuse for unfavorable actions. For example, when our oldest son passed his driving exam, we didn’t know that the first thing he did was pick up his best friend and drive to the mall in the worst possible rainstorm ever. Why? He said, “Because everybody else does it, mom.”

Do we as adults use this statement to excuse, motivate, or justify our actions, too?

This time of year I feel that my senses are overwhelmed with images, smells and music telling me what I should want for Christmas.  The truth is, I don't want people spending money on me.  Its a painstaking task to go through my closets, shelves and drawers bi-annually and donate all this "stuff" we have accumulated. Our house is pretty much to maximum capacity with things and I would like to simplify.   But if you are wondering what you could give me that would last a lifetime, please check my list. 

Can't sleep?  Wish you could prevent insomnia? Worry about not sleeping?  Perhaps it is your baby that is keeping you up throughout the night?  Perhaps your baby is suffering from  Reflux or Colic?
