Gratitude is a daily practice that starts my day and ends my day. Today and every day, I look for the things in my life that I am grateful for and I give thanks. This simple act of giving thanks throughout my day, re-minds me that I am abundant.

Sometimes it seems so difficult to keep moving forward. One day you are stuck in the muck, another day you are wading in deep waters. And then, there are those days when you can’t find your way out of the everyday world that surrounds you, to take a little time for yourself. But that time for yourself is vital, be it a few moments of meditation, a walk around the block, or day of doing nothing.
Today, I re-mind myself that it is okay and quite necessary to take time for me. I breathe deeply, exhale and vow that today and each day forward I will make time in my busy life each day, that I might find peace and joy in, even for the most fleeting moment.
Namaste… Pamela

I’m in the midst of a Reflections on Technology class at UMass Amherst, University Without Walls. One of the objects of the class is to reflect on our relationship with technology. This week’s lesson is specifically about fasting from technology and the implications of that fast. Deeper posed questions brought up in our class reading included a couple of articles on the meanings of being online and offline. Nathan Jurgenson’s, The IRL Fetish, is a great read on the debate over what it means to be online and subsequently offline.
A lot can be said about the benefits of going offline for a time, and Jurgenson points out that more and more people participate in spending time offline. In reality, there is no separation between being online or offline, it is contextual, among other things. (more…)
We are all flowers blossoming in our own unique ways and we make choices each day about how we show up to those around us and the world. Today, I choose to show up as a radiant flower, in full blossom, with an open heart and an open mind, expressing compassion and acceptance towards each person whom I meet. I recognize that the petals of a flower are symbolic of the open heart and mind which I possess and cultivate each day as one cultivates a garden of flowers.
Namaste… Pamela
