why I had to stop
Well, it's been ages since I've been on here and almost as long since I had to stop marathon training, for the time being anyway. Here's what happened. I was coasting along nicely, amazing myself with my endurance and strength on every long run and was really just loving the runner's......Read More

why the "20-Minute Workout" still rocks
Some of you might not even know what the hell I'm talking about, but back in the glorious 80s there was an exercise show on in the wee hours of the morning (about 5:30am in Chicago) called "The 20-Minute Workout". It was on Monday through Friday and featured 2 or 3 women in......Read More

why I'm not getting married
I have a vision. It sprang from one of a series of recent mini-epiphanies, if there even is such a thing. Perhaps "mini-epiphany" is an oxymoron but I think the commonly used term the "aha!" moment just doesn't cut it. Once upon a time, I daydreamed about......Read More

why there are no words
After about 15 years of spiritual seeking, learning, trying, failing, realizing the illusion of it all, remembering it's not possible to "try" to do anything and testing the waters of several beautiful paths I've come to the conclusion that there literally is no name that encompasses......Read More

you just never know, but you know
A few months ago I received some rather disconcerting information about a former classmate of mine. Another fellow HMI grad, which is where we all trained for a year to be top-notch Hypnotherapists, had stumbled across a listing on the Megan's Law website/registry of sexual offenders that......Read More

why I love, love, love Keith Richards
Ok people, stop laughing. I know that nowadays when you even say the name "Keith Richards" people giggle, and I get it...so does he. Recently, when I was watching the concert/docu film "Shine A Light" for the 4th time I loved the way Keith carried himself during his solo......Read More

the candida cleanse
Oh how I've been procrastinating on this one...and I am a MASTER at procrastination when I set my venerable mind to it. But there comes a time when you just have to bite the bullet and do what's right. This time I have a wonderful inspiration; a creative project that will entail my......Read More

why I will never have a guru
First of all, as many wounded birds can testify it's notoriously difficult to tell me what to do. ;) I love myself enough to acknowledge all the aspects, whether they're perceived to be "positive" or "negative". But something just happened that shook me a bit and made me......Read More

updates and confessions
First, the update; the 4 week easy shift into candida cleanse heaven is going splendidly! Yesterday I felt great, stayed focused and managed to dodge the sugar-laden land mines lying around this office on a regular basis. Let me tell you what is typically rolling around here for the taking ; in......Read More

I don't like the Beatles...
...but does it really even matter? Over the years I've had run-ins with some people who were so determined that their opinions and feelings were "right" and anyone who differed from their perspective had to be "wrong" that I'd grown gunshy about admitting that I don't......Read More
