I’m getting ready for work as we speak – and I just happened to open my Everyday Wisdom book. The quote I read was:
Enlightenment is the quiet acceptance of what is.
It’s knowing that this moment is perfect and exactly as it should be – even if your mind tells you otherwise. [...]

Today is all about blueberries. After work, I came home and made a bison hot dog. I worked on a website project for a little bit, and then worked on my latest painting. It’s a buddha on top of a hill with pagodas and hills and such in the distance.
But what I really [...]

This morning was beautiful. I woke up around 7:00 after 10 hours of rest. I rolled around in my underwear for a while and decided that I’d skip the gym because my body said so. I munched on some cereal and soy milk and wandered into Dupont Circle to shop the farmers market. I smelled [...]

the ancient pond a frog jumps in plop
Our life is a brief blip in the ancient universe. Silence then your life, then silence again.

I had a delightful and unexpected surprise yesterday: when I came home from work, our internet connection was down.
There is nothing better than unconnected in this connected age. At first, I didn’t realize the wonderful implications of this unexpected situation. But, as soon as I realized that it meant a night free from [...]

Today, my boss mentioned that because my job is so tech-heavy, I could do it from anywhere, and that I don’t have to move to Boston. She said I could stay in DC, or move anywhere in the world and that I’d still have my job with Family Pride. It’s funny, because that’s what I’ve [...]

I’m clearly procrastinating on getting to the gym… but look at the beautiful picture of the beach in Rhode Island that I captured this morning on the webcam. Must be a windy morning in Narragansett.

a year.

Today, I was thinking about how it’s been about year since I’ve really changed the way that I look at the world. My yoga class started last January, and by this point last year, I had put into practice many of the philosophies that I had learned. By this point, I was realizing that my [...]
