It Hurts When I Stop Talking (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/930577-It-Hurts-When-I-Stop-Talking/printit/1 Perhaps watch too much CSI and Criminal Minds (it scares me sometimes to think that Criminal Minds is one of my husband's favorite series, but we're intelligent folk, and it's curiously stimulating)...Really, I know that it's a drama, but I'm still a pretty sweet type (with an inquiring mind) and my perception of how much "bad&#3...[Read Full Post] Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:55:24 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/689927 I had this thought this morning, after a resurfacing kind of discussion with my spouse last night. Seems like we realized that we're afraid of change, (very human); what the change is, and whether the change is for good or bad doesn't really matter. This was the thought...What if there is a Heaven (a reality we all experience after the physica...[Read Full Post] Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:20:12 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/689595 Life overtook (me) on the bus ride home today. Praying for less tension, and really wanting to separate from the constructs of daily living that erode innocence, (I) closed out the visions around (me) speaking only within. (I) meditated until (I) cried. Began to only accept the term, "this presence," referencing the unique self rather than state,...[Read Full Post] Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:30:45 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/689382 I sometimes complain to myself that I'm not eating enough, but when I really have to be cunning just to eat within my means -- I enjoy my meals so much more than if I'd pounced on the nearest convenience food. It's a hard sell, but nearly everyone in our family is having to do it. Who knew fresh Green Beans could be so tasty (and simple to pr...[Read Full Post] Mon, 01 Mar 2010 17:02:13 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/689032 Hearing the news report about the 8.5 earthquake in Chile while reading of an "art" installation in the UK Science Museum where random chat comments are spoken, it made me wonder if recording the information of a great earthquake in a blog would be considered a unique internet event.

It makes you blurt out, "Well, Life's not fair, is it?!" In reality I do know that Life is divinely fair. But when lacking a bit of sleep or substantial nutrients, one does get crabby -- maybe even irrational. But there are also ran...[Read Full Post] Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:51:55 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/688731 I make crazy routes along the internet sometimes, I admit it. If "driving" the Information Superhighway was anything like real driving, they'd take away my license (that, or my husband would refuse to go on so many "scenic drives")! Well, sometimes I just waste time. Other times I have a definite purpose (at least when I start out). I...[Read Full Post] Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:07:55 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/687541 While spending the weekend at my mom's, I relaxed enough to get some *umph* back. I realized both through coincidence and with planning that I might find myself driving up north (or otherwise spending Saturday away from home) quite often in the beginning of 2010. I hope to make that a good thing. Isn't it funny how we always race into a new ye...[Read Full Post] Sun, 20 Dec 2009 10:34:32 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/680491 A reading of Julia Cameron's, Prayers from the Great Creator, this morning helped me to remember that we, just like the earth, have much good come into our lives -- after the rain. "The expectation of growth," the pg. 281 entry included. At the cusp of Fall turning to Winter, it is a nice reminder that this needed rain does not so much cause ...[Read Full Post] Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:17:04 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/679832 Thought of this as I licked an oversized Yoplait YoPlus aluminum lid...It resembles a thought bubble. Suddenly I'm imagining scrapbooking and using it as a bottom layer for a journaled thought bubble over some picture. Then the picture inhabitant will have a thought bubble (mind-cloud) with a silver lining. I also have to use these puns eventually...[Read Full Post] Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:56:51 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/664737
