I'm generally pretty easy going. I try to accept that not everyone thinks or behaves the same way I do and feel fairly happy most of the time. Heartbreaks aside, of course.

Not maintaining the standard of conduct
Go read that title again. One more time. Do you get it? This is where we are as a country.

It isn’t exactly the most zen-like way to begin my practice … Continue reading YouTube Yin Yoga

Similarly, when a person finds themself continuing to ponder a situation for which there is no happy ending, a shift in … Continue reading Repairing my ability to divert.
