We’d probably all love to hear what hopes, joys, challenges and gratitude you are experiencing this Holiday Season. Please comment below, right now, and I’ll pull a few together and add my own in an article shortly. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Good Kwaanza, Blissful Nothingness, and Peace (did I get them all?)

I continue to be completely delighted with our community and all the really great comments.  Many thanks!  We are soooo cool and connected! This week, my hat tips to Bobbie, for the comment written in last week’s “Comment of the Week.”  May I quote? “Three months ago I found out that I had diabetes 2,…

Try this meditation today. It’s very peaceful. Do it BEFORE you overeat. Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Focus your mind’s attention on your breathing: in and out, in and out. Do this for as long as you can. End with three nice, deep breaths and hold them at the top and bottom of the…

There is only so much you can do well. You may want to be perfect, or do everything in the whole wide world, but alas–there are limits. Since there are only 24 hours in a day, don’t try to do 48 hours worth between morning and night. Since you are good at certain things, don’t…

The Gnostic Bible, edited by Willis Barnstone and Marvin Meyer…

I just had a little lunch with an old friend.  He reminds me of the way things are in the world right now – we’re lucky to have what we have. He said he was worried he was about to lose his job, even though he wants to move to a new city and find…

There’s been a lot of interest in my articles on nighttime eating, and many people have written comments about it I thought I’d take a moment to get back to the subject. I love the suggestions that several of you made:  a hot cup of milk with allspice, salad with vinegar or toast, meditation or…

I am SO delighted today. Not just because I am alive again today (yes, God woke me up this morning and I thank Him).  Not just because it is a beautiful day.  Not just because I am so lucky to be here with you… Because there are so many wonderful comments you have posted! This,…

Instead of a big lunch or dinner, have only one sandwich or small plate of food. Then use the extra time to get full from something else — like being in nature or having a good conversation with friends. Or just being quiet and contemplative. Practice this over and over, and you will soon come…
