Act Well the Part That Is Given to You – Epictetus wrote: 
We are like actors in a play.  The divine will has assigned us our roles in life without consulting us.  Some of us will act in a short drama, others in a long one.  We might be assigned the part of a poor [...]

It was good to be back home.  I had missed my cats, my own bed and pillows, my incredible assortment of teas and my meditation room.  Between my stay on the coast last weekend and this business trip to San Francisco, it seemed like I had been gone for a couple of weeks!
I slept [...]

Last night before I had gone to sleep I began packing.  After my best night’s sleep in San Francisco, I got up at 9:00 a.m. and finished packing.  I showered, dressed, checked out and dropped my bags off at the Hilton down a few blocks, closer to the BART station.  I met one [...]

When I woke up this morning I felt like I ran my body into a brick wall last night.  For one, it was a long day and we were out late.  Thankfully, I pace myself when it comes to my wine consumption, otherwise I would have been far worse off!  And, per my [...]

Oh the lament of the girl who waits until the last minute…
I hate packing.  I’m not really good at it.  I am one of those people who obsesses on weather and mood - and therefore must have as many options and alternatives as possible.  Which can be ridiculous, I know.  God forbid I [...]

It wasn’t very easy getting up after my soothing, creative weekend at the coast.  On to a new work week…
I spent a good portion of my day preparing for my San Francisco trip, among other projects, and I headed out to get home quickly so that I could go to the gym [...]

I was happy to wake up.  I slept better than the night before.  When I got up and looked out the window there was just under an inch of snow on the yard, on the rooftops and cars, melting on the roads.  I showered, packed and got ready for class.
Kerry drove [...]

When I woke up this morning there was a wintry mix of snow, slush and rain outside.  The rain and hail had kept me up during the night, it was quite loud.  I stretched and was excited about the day that would unfold.  I went into the [...]
