Your Soul Garden

April 27, 2012

Plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.

No Regrets, Forest Sun

October 15, 2010

[This is a video post, so you might need to click through if you're reading this via email or RSS.]

This week flew by in a blurred whoosh. I heard a few songs that captivated me. I stopped, thought and relished.

But the truth is, this song hooked me about 3 or 4 weeks ago when I first heard it on Pandora. At the time, I was reflecting about the past, about a relationship, about the various relationships I’ve had with myself.  And of course, others in my life who’ve touched me in special ways and… thinking about how the relationship itself didn’t exactly turn out the way I’d planned or hoped.

Rope Swings and Avalanches

November 6, 2009

“If we were REALLY being authentic, we’d admit it hurts like hell.”

In Naomi Dunford’s latest post, she talks about how we (try to) filter our authenticity through ‘only the feel good’ stuff (which isn’t real authenticity at all) and the high cost of being truly authentic when you’re ittybiz’in it.

That last line is what did it for me. I (have finally) found my permission. Not from Naomi but in her demonstration and willingness to take the risk of showing her pain.

Tuesdays with Morrie

April 23, 2007

I saw this movie yesterday, during a movie marathon. A couple of mentionables on that list are “The Invinceable” and “A Good Year.” We attempted “Blood Diamond” and it was just way too violent and bloody for us to even get through.

We ended the marathon with “Tuesdays with Morrie” which I had heard about from others. It is a screen adaptation of a book by Mitch Alborn who’s other movie “5 People You Meet In Heaven” is on my movie myspace list. I will be adding Morrie as soon as I’m finished blogging here.
