| Waiting for Signs | ||
| I used to wait for a sign, she said, before I did anything. Then one night I had a dream & an angel in black tights came to me & said, you can start any time now, & then I asked is this a sign? & the angel started laughing & I woke up. Now, I think the whole world is filled with signs, but if there’s no laughter, I know they’re not for me.

why self-improvement makes you neurotic. by DANIELLE LAPORTE
why self-improvement makes you neurotic
by DANIELLE LAPORTE of whitehot truth
http://whitehottruth.com/white-hot/why-self-improvement-makes-you-neurotic/
I’m about to make a major admission of error. I am hereby fessing up to a seriously flawed paradigm that has informed much of my adult life, and, (crap, sorry, apologies in advance,) too much of what I’ve espoused.
I’ve come to this revelatory humility through two important practices in my life: 1) getting ready to go on stage, 2) yoga.

“Our most precious gifts are often things we were shamed for as kids.”
What Does “Ground Truth” Look Like? By Nona Jordan, The Business Yogini. Seen at Jennifer Voss site: http://truthexperience.net/
I have always had a big mouth.
As a kid, in a dysfunctional family, I remember being hissed at by my grandmother (who I dearly loved) that I was the “town crier”, which was not a compliment. She wanted me to keep my mouth shut and stop telling people what was happening in my family (which was, in fact, imploding).
Never a Better Time to Be Alive
Why There’s Never Been a Better Time to be Alive: The Rational Optimist
By Matt Ridley Friday, April 01, 2011
A British scientist and author of the book, The Rational Optimist, makes the case that mankind’s progress has been vigorous, widely spread, and not just benefiting the privileged few.
Matt Ridley says, “Average citizens are becoming healthier, cleaner, smarter, kinder, happier, and more peaceful.” And he has the facts to back it up.
Read his essay right here!
FOR the past month, the news has been all bad – war, recession, riot, tsunami, earthquake, nuclear disaster, inflation, and budget cuts.
Think you can, think you can’t…you are right.

Age Is A State of Mind by sheroldbarr on March 4, 2011
http://www.sheroldbarr.com/age-is-a-state-of-mind/
The key to better health, life satisfaction, and aging gracefully is a youthful outlook.
I turned 59 this week, which means that I’m in my 60th year. A friend recently told me that I’m at the end of my young middle years.
I flinched when she said that and said to myself, “I don’t have to buy that.”
Then I thought about it and decided why would I want to attach to that thought and feel bad? Why would I want to argue with reality? Why would I want to create resistance in my mind about age and suffer?

Debunking the Whole “Life Purpose” Thing. By Tara Mohr
Debunking the Whole “Life Purpose” Thing
Sunday, February 20, 2011 by Tara
If you are searching for your life purpose, you are in luck. The search stops here.
It’s become a common thing in our culture to try to “find your purpose.” It’s thought of almost like finding a soul mate: there’s a big epiphany as you discover your one true purpose and then… you and it ride off into the sunset. Now you’ve got career direction, a sense of meaning, and a kind of serenity about finally knowing what your purpose is. You can say to your purpose, a la Jerry McGuire, “You complete me.”

Coping With A “February”
Coping With A “February”
Insight from Martha Beck. http://marthabeck.com/
I am thinking of training a hamster to predict the weather in Phoenix, where I live. It will not be difficult; I will purchase two buttons – a red one that says “sunny” and a blue one that says “not sunny”. Then I will teach the hamster that the blue button does not exist. We’ll make millions!
