Retaining relaxation

By |2009-10-22T16:49:29+13:00October 22nd, 2009|Introspection|

The key, I have found, is to maintain a cool head no matter what happens. Epictetus said that we have no control over our external circumstances.  All we can control is our reaction to those circumstances. My manager called to say that the Windows upgrade which was originally scheduled for today, and cancelled, is now [...]

Feeling sickness

By |2009-10-22T16:35:53+13:00October 22nd, 2009|Introspection|

It is an odd experience, feeling sick and being cognizant of your own manifestation abilities. I can now see how being sick is a stiff roadblock in my ability to get things manifested according to my vision; I am drowned in a series of negative emotions.  My body hurts, my energy is sapped, and my [...]

Amazingly good life

By |2009-10-21T03:54:28+13:00October 21st, 2009|Introspection|

As I relax here blogging about my life, I am quite stunned at how good everything has become, now that I am allowing myself to relax into life.  Into how good it can be. I am getting a massage from my massage chair, typing on my new mac, with a belly full of beef stew [...]

Watering the wine

By |2009-10-19T03:02:47+13:00October 19th, 2009|Introspection|

I find it ironic that I now enjoy watered wine. The ancient Greeks, the culture that I studied for most of my higher education, thought it was strange when barbarians would drink their wine unmixed with water.  (Barbarians, it must be noted, was a term inclusive of all non-Greeks.  They all made funny sounds when [...]

Goal checking

By |2009-10-18T22:53:18+13:00October 18th, 2009|Introspection|

Absent a journal that I like to carry around with me every day, I am finding myself without the handy habit of writing down my goals regularly.  So now I am going to just spout off some of my goals. I want to be an elite-level athlete by my son's birthday, March 9.  I want [...]

Indilea’s new joke

By |2009-10-18T17:00:04+13:00October 18th, 2009|Family|

Indi has two good friends, Olive and Maple.  Olive has been one of Indi's best friends since she was a baby, and Maple is Olive's little sister. Indi got this mischievous little smile on her face and came up to Johanna yesterday.  She said, "Mommy, can I ask you a question?" "Sure," Johanna said. "Do [...]

Mac’in

By |2009-10-10T00:38:12+13:00October 10th, 2009|Excellence|

I'm typing on my new Macintosh laptop.  I bought myself the MacBook Pro because I set a high goal, I attained it, and this is my reward! I cherish the clacking of these keys.  I delight in learning this new system.  I relish the joy of living a manifestation. I made this happen!

Back on the Attack!

By |2009-10-06T02:18:25+13:00October 6th, 2009|Introspection|

I've spent some much-needed recharge time holed up in the mountains, and now I am ready to move back into the progressive realization of worthy ideals that has become my life. While I have come to recognize and value the experience of slowing down, I am simultaneously glad it is not my daily life. Taking [...]
