Transiting from One Job to the Next at the Twenty-Post Milestone

Today marks the last day in my current employment situation. On Monday week, when I’m sitting in front of the word processor at my new tech writing job, I will actually have to devote time to writing for the company. (see “The Gift of Time” for background about this point). I’m grateful to the companyContinue reading “Transiting from One Job to the Next at the Twenty-Post Milestone”

Info Share: Intersecting Paths – Pagan Thoughts about Jesus

Sometimes when I read an item that, to me, feels like a major shift, I figure I’m probably the last to know. But just in case I’m not, I’d like to introduce you to Mark Townsend, who has just published the book Jesus Through Pagan Eyes. I haven’t had a chance to read the bookContinue reading “Info Share: Intersecting Paths – Pagan Thoughts about Jesus”

Everyday Gratitude

Before I made a conscious decision to more spiritually balance my life, gratitude was something that was reserved for times when I was on the receiving end of wonderfully fulfilled expectations or when I experienced great “luck”, while ingratitude was freely given for anything less than ideal or spectacular. Examples are listed in the followingContinue reading “Everyday Gratitude”

The Power of Self Forgiveness

Is anyone more critical of us than ourselves? As we pass through life we can amass a collection of unattained goals, missed opportunities, judgement errors regrettable actions we took or didn’t take, and other failings. When we hold on to these failings we can let them define who we are: “I’m not able to doContinue reading “The Power of Self Forgiveness”

Info Share Double-Shot: Reiki Research and Business Ethics

While trawling the net for inspiration and information, I came across a couple of unrelated items that I wanted to share with you. We’ve all reported and heard anecdotal evidence about the benefits of Reiki, stories about how people are affected by it. The success stories help to build more success, and quiet any doubtsContinue reading “Info Share Double-Shot: Reiki Research and Business Ethics”

Repeat as Needed, Calm Me in the Morning

In my experience, nothing provides a fast acting sense of peace as well as feeding a baby. Probably because I’m picking up on the baby’s emotions, like I was with one of the twins this morning. One second he was a bit distressed, wondering where his next meal was coming from (I presume, it’s beenContinue reading “Repeat as Needed, Calm Me in the Morning”

Putting the “Me” in “Time”

 I want to start by saying that I’m not having a moan in what follows, just making a point about “me” time, and being kind to all living things. I thought I should mention that up front in light of yesterday’s post, where I took so long to get to the point that I’m sureContinue reading “Putting the “Me” in “Time””

Transition Basketball

I’ve been up late these past few months with a couple of young lads who are on the bottle every night. Well, they are only ten weeks old, and quite vocal about having their needs met. The three of us have been hanging out in front of the TV watching the NBA playoffs, thanks toContinue reading “Transition Basketball”

Found a Job

After being made redundant last year from my technical writing job, I attended three interviews before taking my current position. The time frame corresponded to the gap between my Reiki II and Reiki Master workshops. I’m sure I was still compartmentalizing Reiki at the time. The first position I went for wasn’t a good matchContinue reading “Found a Job”
