Going with the Flow

Quote of the day: Don’t push the river—it flows by itself. — (Fritz Perls, Gestalt Therapy Verbatim) Go with the flow.  It’s easy to say, but much more difficult to practice.  For most of my life I’ve done anything BUT go with the flow.  I’ve worked hard, driven myself to “succeed” and ignored the still, small voice coming from my heart.

Holiday Glow

Quote of the day: “I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.” – Jack London Food, food, food!  This is the season for get-togethers and breaking bread with friends and family.  I’ve had a wonderfully busy week of book club get-together, a quiet meal with a friend, and tonight a potluck with several of my favorite women friends. Since I’m focusing on eating healthy food these days and have eliminated gluten from my diet, I find that I’m gravitating towards soups Read more…
