animals, love, and harmony

A short video clip of  Cesar Millan and Eckhart Tolle talking about the positive energy that dogs (I would extend that to all animals) bring to our lives, showed up in my inbox this morning, and I wanted to share it with you. Sending you all thoughts of harmony, happiness, and fun today! Mary

Bringing our visions into the world of form

I was standing in the check-out line of a grocery store the other day and the woman in front of me began telling another woman about the difficulties that she was having with her adult son. In a very short period of time, I heard this woman's story (regarding her son). The "story of her…

My reason for being… in the web of Life

A couple of days ago, I decided to go for a run much later in the day than I usually go. It was really hot out, so after a mile, I turned around to head back, and noticed a small turtle that was just beginning to cross the road. I picked it up, gently carried…

A new question

One thing that I keep needing to re-learn, is never to ask myself a question when the answer will not be helpful. Have you ever noticed that the only time you ask yourself the question, "What is wrong with me?" is when you are not feeling good? And what then do we think the answer…

Gentle reminders; let’s try again

I stopped by Jack's store the other day but he wasn't there. The door was open and music was playing ...he always plays the same cd: Jennifer Berezan's "Praises for the World". The first thing that I noticed was the music seemed too loud, then I saw a watercolor painting with dirty glass. As I…

sanity

"Pets fulfill an incredible function that hasn't been fully acknowledged and recognized in this world. They keep humanity sane." Eckhart Tolle (recorded during a retreat at the Findhorn Foundation)I was listening to an Echart Tolle CD the other day, and when I heard him say these words, I knew that I wanted to share them…

The valley of the Universe: The field of Love

I had a dream the other night that I was supposed to marry a prince, but I had to pass a test first. I sat in the backseat of a car, trying to explain to someone that the prince didn't know me, but that didn't stop the driver. As we moved forward, I realized that…

Dancing our way through life

It came to my attention, after posting yesterday (on assuming perfection in our lives) that some people thought I was saying that having a perfect life meant getting everything we wanted, how and when we wanted it. This is so far from what I intended to convey that I wanted to clarify a bit. Several…

A new way of seeing is born

I was listening to a CD by Eckhart Tolle yesterday. He was talking about the questions that get submitted (for him to answer) during the retreats he leads, pointing out that labeling anything as "mine" tends to attach us to the thing, and then we (our egos) take it personally. If my question isn't chosen,…

True freedom

About 15 years ago, I was going through a particularly rough time and while visiting a friend in California he said, "You need to see Robert. He is an amazing healer." I was open to trying almost anything and so I did. Robert was in his late 70's, living in a very small, unimpressive apartment…
