Don’t meet deadlines: cross finish lines!
Nearly everyday I chastise myself for not finishing something. In fact, I say that it is God’s great joke that I have a business called Fit2Finish and I never finish anything. What is it about “finishing” that impedes my progress? People tell me to “set deadlines.” And when I do, I get stuff done, almost always by […]
Ironing out the wrinkles
I know it’s old fashioned, but I iron. That’s not nearly as old fashioned as the linen napkins I just finished ironing. The Thanksgiving napkins. We’ll probably use them for Christmas, too. They’re special occasion napkins. I realized as I was ironing that I love those linen napkins. They’re each monogrammed with a script “R” […]
God in the tag cloud
What’s in a title? a name? a tag? A lot, I expect. It’s what we read first, in capital letters, and then decide whether we want to enter in. The funny thing is, the title is usually the last thing I give my posts or my articles. Because I’m really not quite sure what they […]
If mind over matter works, would it matter if we adopted a Divine Mind?
Today, I feel great. Tuesday, I had a heart condition. How can that be? Our mind is amazing, isn’t it? Tell us we are sick, we become sick. Tell us we can do it, we can. Convince us it is our lot in life to be such and such, we become such and such. This […]
Imaging the Depths of Your Heart
Today, I am to have a test which will tell me about the inside of my heart. Doctors who know about this stuff say that the view from the outside was unclear, “technically difficult.” Something about ribs getting in the way. Go figure. My husband tells me, trying to be helpful, that this is a bonus. I […]
Injury Prevention is God’s Primary Business
My left rotator cuff is giving me a bit of trouble again. I notice it when simple motions give me a twinge. Like pulling the sheets back or grabbing the seat belt. I, ever the self-diagnostician, always stop at the twinge. I lift the arm. Rotate it. Lift it again. Until I get it exactly […]
The sure way through: blaze by blaze
If all seems lost, there will be a way. Look for it.
Time In a Body
The older I get the more aware I become of the preciousness of the body that still answers the call. And the care is deserves.
Jump Ball With God
Have you ever watched a kids basketball game? They’re all scrambling around, don’t quite have the ball under control, but they know their objective: get it in the basket. Occasionally, they pass it. Often, they shoot and miss. The tall ones get all the rebounds. This is the way it was when I played basketball […]
Go Ahead, Eat the Middle First
Why do we save the best for last? Oh, I know. It builds tension for the big finish. It gets the audience warmed up so they can really appreciate our magic when they see it. We set them up so we can knock them out with one punch. They’re puddy in our hands. It’s about […]
