Trading in your Old Story for a New One
“I’m not a morning person”. This is one story I’ve had about myself for much of my life. I felt sad and guilty for not being a “morning person”, because ideologically I think of the morning as being fresh, new, full of possibility. I felt like I was missing something,...
Conversations with God, on a Dog Walk
I took my dog Ginger for a walk this afternoon at the City Park golf course, one of the few places I can walk her off leash. She was in heaven--chasing leaves, eating snow, jumping in the air out of joy. I felt a deep sense of peace, of connection, there in the muddy...
A “From the Shower” Lesson of Personal Growth
Today in the shower my contact got messed up. All of the sudden, it wasn’t in my eye properly and was hurting me. At first I tried to get it straightened out, then I just freaked out and tried to get it out of my eye. I yelled, then felt annoyed that Victor wasn’t...
The Value of Being the “Newbie”

What you can Learn from your Jealousy

A Good Tantrum is Good for the Soul
When I was a young girl, and was really upset, I would get on my back on the floor (or New York City streets) and throw a tantrum. I imagine I looked somewhat like a crab, arms and legs kicking and writhing in the air. I also made a sound effect when I would cry I...
