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.

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 heart, I can fill with love, hope, and dreams.
I [...]

Food For Thought

If someone says, “Hey, I ran 100 miles this week. How far did you run?” Ignore him! What the hell difference does it make? The magic is in the man [or woman], not the 100 miles.
(from subtitle of blog Run-a-about)
A quote we should all keep in mind. The subtitle of the blog has since changed [...]

Food For Thought

Seize the moment.
Think of all those women on the Titanic
who waved off the dessert cart.
  ~Erma Bombeck
I love this quote. With a touch of humor Erma reminds us that every moment is precious. Take some time today and every day to “seize the moment”.
