Meditation: Harnessing the Power of Mindfulness

In a world that rarely pauses, meditation invites us to do just that. It’s not about escaping life—it’s about meeting it with presence.

Mindfulness helps us witness our thoughts without judgment, creating space for clarity, calm, and compassion. Whether through breathwork, body scans, or loving-kindness, meditation grounds us in the now and strengthens our emotional resilience.

Science backs it. Spirit welcomes it. Your soul feels it.

Next, we’ll explore how physical exercise deepens this connection—bringing vitality and peace into every inhale.

You Have Zero Control.

By -
You have zero control over most of everything in life.   The one thing that's challenging for me is letting go of the need to control someone else's emotions - specifically, anger.  Why? Because on some level, I take it personally and don't often recognize that their anger isn't about me -- whatever they're angry about, I happen to be the one in their immediate space at that moment, and they use me to lash out at.  And I take it personally.  And I want it to stop right away, and I want to get the conflict over as soon as possible because I don't like conflict, which in turn then creates way more conflict and unnecessary bullshit that then turns into unresolved emotions that cause damage that never intended to be caused in the first place.  The adult thing to do would be to take a deep breath, assess my position, and back off.  But.  Sometimes, that's a hard thing to do.  The shift in my mindset comes with first seeing my flaw because, ultimately, ...

Seeing the Truth

By -
T he guy I'm dating -I'll refer to him as R—has an old phone. It is so old that it doesn't receive 90% of the texts that I or others send him.  And he seems unfazed by the entire bit of it all. He thinks we are the crazy ones for acting like the world is on fire because he hasn't received the latest update on what's happening in the local or someone's daily life drama. He basically told me so last night when I pulled into his driveway like a banshee from hell looking for a head to take off.    I got out of my car and stood there yelling up at him through his workshop window, "Hey! Are you getting any of my texts? Looking down at me, wielding a chainsaw, dressed in his crooked red, fogged-up goggles and beige overalls, he yelled back at me, "What are you CRAZY? "Why don't you just turn your car off and get in the house? " I stared at him and shook my head as he returned to chainsawing.  He met me in the basement.  He sat on the couch and t...

Sometimes, You Need to Let Your Mom Win.

By -
  Sometimes, you need to let your mom win.  What do I mean by that?  Recently, I moved back to mom's having gone through a divorce, an in-the-rears house sale, and a large financial setback.  Being fifty-two and independent for many years of my life, moving back home was something that I kicked and screamed about until the day came where someone bought my house and gave me thirty days to get out and find a new place.  Thirty days you think might be a long time, yet when you have three animals, and your finances and credit are in the tank, there really is no option but to move back home, unless choosing to live in my car was some sort of a reality - which it not at all wasn't.  So. I sucked it up, sold 90% of everything I had, and without help from movers or anyone, moved into a small room in the back of mom's house, which is where I'm currently writing from - and am beyond grateful for - yet it's taken me a bit to get to a place where I can much more easily...
