I Wish I Were A Goldfish

I Wish I Were A Goldfish

I am told that a goldfish cannot remember anything beyond a 3 minute time frame. One of my favorite pastimes is to sit and watch our goldfish swim around lazily and rising up only to gobble at the food before going back to their contented existence.

Waves Of Inspiration

How To Be Depressed

How To Be Depressed

"Depression was, indeed, the hand of a friend trying to press me down to the ground on which it was safe to stand--the ground of my own truth, my own nature with its complex mix of limits and gifts, liabilities and assets, darkness and light." Parker Palmer I've never been through pregnancy depress

Make an ass of yourself but do not let the world know...

Many a time we are swept by that overwhelming feeling to bare all. Not to be mistaken with confession which is done after ensuring that there is nothing further to lose on account of reputation.

Time management with the monks

One mile south of Georgia O'Keefe's beloved Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, thirteen miles down a cliff-hugging dirt road in the heart of Chama Canyon, you will find Christ In The Desert.

Why your new-year resolutions would not stick Why your new-year resolutions would not stick
by Guest Tickler
Some people won't even make New Year's resolutions anymore. Not because they don't want to improve their lives, but because they've tried and failed so many times, they've given up. It's not the resolution maker who's the failure, it's the methodology we've been using to try and bring about radical change in our lives.
Heal Your Relationships to Heal Yourself Heal Your Relationships to Heal Yourself
by Chitra Jha
It has been rightly said that this world is a mirror. It reflects back our inner/true reality to us. As within, so without. Everything in our life; our job, our economic condition, our dwellings, and the people in our life reflect one or the other aspect of our reality.

My Top Resolution for 2010 My Top Resolution for 2010
by Guest Tickler
I'm not that great at keeping New Year's resolutions, but this one is going to stick - I promise. I resolve to wipe the F word "fair" from my vocabulary, from my thinking, from my emotions.
Make 2010 the Year of Your Life!  Make 2010 the Year of Your Life!
by Guest Tickler
Given the current economic condition in the US, 2010 could become the year that Americans have to look at their lives in a totally new way. If they stay focused upon their finances, like the economy they may spend a good part of the year, if not all of it, receding into a depression and not living their lives fully at all.
My New Year resolution: Healing the ‘split personality’ My New Year resolution: Healing the ‘split personality’
by Priyanka Thakur
The new year is here. What amazes me most is the practice of making resolutions at the start of the year. I really admire those who strictly follow their resolutions, though I am myself extremely poor in these things.

My high-school football coach, Coach “Pic” would tell us this every day in his motivational speech as we prepared for the upcoming game. His goal was to get each of us to create a mental picture of what we wanted to do – individually and as a team.
Set No Wake-Up Calls in 2010 Set No Wake-Up Calls in 2010
by Rachana Sharma
The countdown for the New Year has started. Immature persons are thinking hard to decide on a remarkable New Year resolution which can transform their life in a night and experienced persons like us, who are guilty-ridden about breaking their resolutions every year, are working seriously on the reasons of failure and finding a failure-proof resolution.

It is that time of the year when I avoid meeting people. Everyone wants to know about your New Year resolutions. This question just forces me to lie through my teeth just so that I remain politically correct and acceptable to my loved ones.
