WOW!  I made my 30 days to grace!  I did my practice every single day, and I blogged about it every single day (okay, I only missed writing about it one day).  It feels great to have completed the 30 day practice, but even better to have kept the promise I made to myself.  We…

Today I focus on letting go.  I let go of my unrealistic expectations of others.  I let go of how I want things to be and see things for what they are.   I let go of the need to be in charge of everything and everyone.  I embrace what Joseph Campbell says, “We must be…

I had coffee today with a friend who has been practicing 30 Days to Grace for the last 24 days.  Her intention is “Money is flowing into my life through fun and joy.”  She says there have been many small miracles since she started to focus on this intention. She recounted the doorman who fixed her squeaky…

Well, I had every intention of being mindful, present and determined to make good choices yesterday at our Thanksgiving feast.  I planned on eating a good meal, but not overeating a good meal.  Turns out, I still ate too much, and did not feel great when I woke up this am as I still felt…

Yesterday, I skipped.  I didn’t skip the practice, but I skipped writing about it.  My day was very full and I just never quite got around to doing it…  It was kind of scary to skip a day of writing because I have been on such a roll I didn’t want to give it up altogether,…

I love the quote by Denis Waitley who says, “Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude”. The daily practice helps me remember how to fall in love again, open to grace, and practice gratitude by keeping me focused…

Today I step into the flow.  I open to grace by trusting, allowing, and inviting all the good into my life.   Everything falls easily into place as I receive surprisingly good news about my car repair, reach someone on the first attempt, and receive great praise from a client.  Of course, if every day was this…

I just spent the weekend with Douglas Brooks, one of the world’s leading scholars of Hindu Tantrism and the esoteric traditions of the Goddess.  He lectured on many principles of the Tantric philosophy, (most of which I am still processing) but one I could relate to immediately was the Goddess is within each of us and…

They say it takes 21 days to make a habit.  I think it probably takes a little longer, but 21 is a great start.  I know now that when I don’t practice first thing In the morning, I feel like something is missing in my day;  I somehow don’t feel complete. Becasue of this habit…

I gave my program, 30 Days to Grace today, in Durango, Colorado to a group of women at a Work Life Balance Conference.  It was a beautiful site to watch, all of them deep breathing, practiicng yoga poses, meditating and journaling. One woman said she didn’t like the yoga because it made her feel very un-graceful and…
