Happy New Year Wish

Goodbye to 2013. It has been a year filled with lots of goodbyes and challenges. It pushed and pulled me into places and circumstances that I either feared and thought I wouldn’t have to embrace. I met face to face with lots of disappointments and some nice surprizes and inbetween the good, the bad and the ugly I learned a lot about myself and accepted who I am and who I am not.

2013 started out unlike any other year and it definitely re-enforced my belief that things happen for a reason. I may not have enjoyed many of the situations I was forced to deal with but I do now have a broader concept of my surroundings and a more flexible reality. Despite the changes and the people and positions I had to let go of I am still here and free to move about freely. With 2014 getting ready to take over I am not going to follow suit and set up resolutions will I end up breaking a month or two later.

I am gladly going to say goodbye to 2013 and welcome in the New Year. I pray and hope for continued health and grounding not only for myself but to all my family and friends as well. For what ever loss or change 2013 brought that 2014 replenishes and gives you peace, understanding and acceptance. Change must happen to stimulate growth so…..2014.…bring it on.

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical.

Apparently, there are some lucky individuals out there who can unhinge their jaw and eat an elephant in one or two tries so that sets the bar for everyone else. I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
