    Suzy~ Thanks for joining 'Thursday's Thought of the Day'! I'll see you next week!!

    Well said, Erina. By becoming aware, a person will notice 'how much' should change.

    Thembi~ Because he's your ex, it looks like you did. Maybe later than sooner but eventually. :)

    Ha! Thanks, Rolando! I got it from a book that I'm listening too called "Inspiration, Your Ultimate Calling" by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. Good book!

    I always try to do something I learned from a wise mentor of mine when regarding change. This is a little off base but does apply.

    If somethings not working or you can't seem to get something right, don't change what you're doing, change your attitude.

    Knowing yourself allows this to be possible. If I'm in an argument with someone and it's getting worse, I sense how I can change the situation. I always aim for a nice, peaceful resolution.

    I may look at it from another perspective as it happens and suddenly, the argument becomes a hug!

    I believe we change everyday. Knowing ourselves and having the ability to see things from many perspectives makes life better!

    Have a great day Lisa!!!!!

    Bobby~ I absolutely agree! The more we look at things from the other persons perspective will give us a greater appreciation for their experience in the matter.

    Taking our eyes off of ourselves will allow us to be selfless and more giving human beings.

    I realize no one is perfect and these are not always easy tasks. The more you practice this way of being the greater chance you have of being at peace with yourself and others.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Bobby.

Life Lessons: Learning The Rhythms of Life

( Picture via Pinterest ) Those moments when things are supposed to be the way it is but never is. Those moments where things seem like they are but never are. Those moments where certainty is promised but promises uncertainty. Those moments when you know but then again have no freaking idea. Yea, those moments.  Life's moments that are bliss - filled that turns in to a bliss-less-ness. Lately life has been like this for me. Can you relate? Does it seem like in one moment you know what direction you're supposed to be heading and then the next not so sure? Does it seem to have you on a high and then, before you know it, that high becomes a low? And sometimes really, really, low. Life is like this. Ups and downs are the one thing that is constant and sure. In moments like these here's what I do... take a deep breath, inhale it all in, and breathe it all out.  I let it go. There is no need for me to fuss over it because as I...

My Yoga Begins With Striking A Pose - Saddle Pose

"There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart."  When the world got quiet for this young lady what became glaringly clear to me was the dust that accumulated on my yoga mat.  As time passed I felt an aching and emptiness inside of me because I missed my practice. My body had been begging me to open up and roll out my mat - correcting the aches and pains I'd been experiencing. It was calling me to engage in a practice that had once been sacred to me - a practice that I felt at one time I couldn't live without. I was stuck. It wasn't happening, and as a result my body was stuck, stiff, and sore. I felt like I'd gone so far away from my practice that the thought of me pulling out my mat and striking a pose felt untrue. I felt like I couldn't just strike a pose and it mean I'm practicing yoga again.   Sometimes all you need is a little nudge. In '09 when I decided to begin my yoga practice I ...

Are you a blog reader, like me? Do you find yourself getting lost in the world of a blogger and not minding it at all? Do you feel like you know them and in some way have become a part of their lives? I do. All the time. Today I share some of my favorites with you. I've been blogging for the past eight years. Since then I've met some amazing women and men. I love what I do. I love blogging, sharing my life, my perspective on things, and the things I love. I love to read other's blogs who do the same. I learn so much from them and about them that I feel like I know them. I feel like we are good friends. Do you know what I mean? When I follow a blogger's life through their blog and stories I become a part of their lives. Sometimes they know it and sometimes not. But the joy that I get doesn't come from them having to know. Many of these men and women I've never met in person but I feel like we have, and I hope to meet them some day.  Just...
