“Take a nap?” the sweet little voice asking me is my African Grey parrot Odi.  I’ve been glazed over, starring at my computer screen for several minutes and somehow she must know that I’ve re-read the same paragraph fifty times and retained nothing. 

Can you hold both the Spirit and the human sides of your Being?

This morning I noticed two succulents in my favorite pot holding each other.  Two leaves delicately curved around each other as if two hands were linking.  Sun shining in through the sliding door warming my face and their leaves. 

Einstein was right.  Relativity is a big deal.

This week I’m getting woo-woo on you, but with important reason because I’m about to share the most important lesson I’ve re-learned and re-affirmed again recently.  

How often do you find yourself saying “yes” when you’re not behind your “yes?”  

Plug your ears and eyes for one moment if you aren’t into swear words.  Have you heard of the “fuck yes” (FY) principal?  Mark Manson morphed it to be applied to relationships from a practice entrepreneur Derek Sivers called “Hell Yeah.”  Derek decided he would only pursue business deals that he and the client both said “Hell Yeah” to.  If both people were not that enthusiastic, the deal didn’t move forward.  Similarly, Mark Manson suggests that if two people who are dating do not reach a mutual FY place, they shouldn’t pursue something romantic together at that point.  

Do you ever notice the insatiable thirst of the mind?  How even when you get what you want, it’s not satisfied?  Are we endlessly seeking 100% in a world where 100% doesn’t exist?  Or does 100% exist when we change our thinking?

A couple of months ago I was waiting for the metro.  It was Monday and I was tired.  As I waited for the train to come, one of my best friends called me.  Often on Mondays after we've both finished teaching (him dance, me yoga) as I patiently wait for the subway to take me home to bed, we catch up.  I always look forward to our calls because he just gets me.  In the middle of our conversation a commotion started next to me as a group of young boys started fighting each other.
