    Today is Wednesday, June 26. The original date to post was last Thursday, June 20, 2024. June 20, 2024 would have been four years since the original date of this excerpt from Something More. Connecting to the pulse of a Shared Humanity…by me. These June excerpts remind me of the ‘tone’ four years ago. The […]

    Today is Sunday Book Club on Monday. I’m not sure why I bother defining what day it is, considering these blog posts can be read any time. I like the Sunday and Thursday routine. Alas…summer mode ☀️ Speaking of summer mode, I am going to post the excerpt only. I am visiting at my parents […]

  • something more. week twenty four

    This blog is on summer mode. I began today’s post yesterday (Thursday) morning. Side note: if you are following the book club posts, there is no week twenty three for something more. Here is Friday morning (real time): I feel light and spacious… I feel light and spacious in my body… At this time in […]

  • a better way. week twenty two/twenty three

    Me again. The blog consistency is not flowing, but I am hopeful I can get back on board. Why? Because I enjoy it. It’s true that writing helps one understand what one thinks. I am aware (I think) that what is most consistently on my mind, or what I have a desire to write about, […]

When I consume information (podcast, […]

    What do you consume? What information do you choose to digest?  In one way, I suppose this question could be: How do you spend your free time? Or, How do you spend your down time?  A human takes in, (absorbs? integrates? – consumes…) energy and information from external sources, through physical senses.  Input. Then the […]

    And just like that…she gently whispered to herself the familiar reminder… “Life is a series of situations, circumstances, and events that happen. When I notice my response, I can soothe my response. In Quiet Time, I align with wellbeing. In the space of possibility, I feel anchored to somethingmore. And then. I do. The next […]

    I recorded myself spontaneously read today’s excerpt. There is much to say about sensual living. Speaking of, I can hear the chirping birds outside my window. Some days, the only time I am sensual is in Quiet Time. This morning I proclaimed (to no one, and everyone) that Quiet Time was the best part of […]

    In Yoga, some facilitators will put you in a pose and then say, ‘full expression’. Put simply, this means to lengthen something, soften something, expand something. In the storyitell workbook, I describe the cues (lengthen, soften, expand) as superhero pose and connect it to Amy Cuddy’s interpretation of presence. In Amy’s popular body language TED […]
