I'm a very spiritual (though not religious) person. I bring things into my life that call to my soul, whether they originate in Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Wicca, or what have you, it doesn't matter to me.

The Call of Whale Song

I've talked about the breath and how letting out a big exhalation can relieve stress. You've probably...

Do You Celebrate?

The other day I was hunting for incense to burn. I must admit something here, I am a huge incense junkie. At one time I had a collection of nearly 100 scents, all hand-dipped in essential oils and each scent stored in a ziploc bag and labeled.Anyway, I picked a bag at random and saw that it was one of my all time favorites. Instead of burning one I put it back."That one is special. I'll save it for later."Do you ever do that with random things? I've...

What's Your Morning Routine?

Life can be ordinary and still be extraordinary. It's the little things that matter.I have a confession to make, a few weeks ago, I was a grumpy bear.

When the haze...
