Because a brain is a terrible thing to starve.

Food for Thought

Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don’t matter
and those who matter don’t mind.
~ Dr. Seuss
I thought this was a lovely way to start off the week - focusing are being true to yourself.

Food For Thought

Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be welcomed, recognized, and treated on an absolutely equal basis; because both are ourselves.
The tangerine I am eating is me.
The mustard greens I am planting are me.
I plant with all my heart and mind.
I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving [...]

Food For Thought

Every time you don’t follow your inner guidance,
you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, 
a sense of spiritual deadness.
~Shakti Gawain
This is one of my favorite quotes, and one that I want to keep on hand to remind me to always listen and trust my inner guidance.  While at Womon Gathering it came easily and [...]

Just For Today

Just for today I’m going to remember
I have the power and the wisdom within me
to deal with whatever the day brings.
I will let go of stress, worry, and anger
and let healing and love flow through me.
Just for today, one moment to the next.
~ Lady Rose

Food for Thought

From time to time, to remind ourselves to relax,
to be peaceful, we may wish to set aside
some time for a retreat, a day of mindfulness,
when we walk slowly, smile,
drink tea with a friend, and enjoy being together
as if we are the happiest people on Earth.~Thich Nhat Hanh
I love this quote and need to heed its [...]

The Philosophy of the Rose

I just had to share this story.   It is reported as a “true” story, whether it is or not, it’s a great inspiration.  (And I love the song (The Rose), plus I have a fondness for the name Rose, it is not only my online name, it’s also my real middle name.)
Source: office email from a friend.
The first [...]

Food For Thought

Wisdom doesn’t automatically come with old age.
Nothing does — except wrinkles.
It’s true, some wines improve with age.
But only if the grapes were good in the first place.

Leaving the City of Regret

I Have A Body

I have a body, it doesn’t have me.
I have eyes, I can see food but I don’t have to eat it.
I have a nose, I can stop to smell the roses (not the bakery items).
I have a mouth I don’t have to stuff it.
I have a heart, I can fill with love, hope, and dreams.
I [...]
