Sometimes.....the truth hurts...
"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller
buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend
more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and
smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but
less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems,
more medicine, but less wel...

lness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and reflect too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the house, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete ...
Remember, to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person might not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind."

Yoga, Sex, and a Nap
My Daily Philosophy: Yoga, Sex, and a Nap
I have a
very simple philosophy: I believe there are three things you’ll never regret
doing. In a perfect world, each day would include all three: Yoga, Sex and a
Nap.
I have a
very simple philosophy: I believe there are three things you’ll never regret
doing. In a perfect world, each day would include all three: Yoga, Sex and a
Nap.
Let’s start with yoga. Yoga
encourages the flow of positive energy, heightens body awareness, reduces stress
and improves your mood. It stretches and strengthens your mind, body and spirit.
Yoga is both invigorating and calming. Practicing yoga requires you to tune in
to how your body feels. It inspires awareness of all that is around you, and
confidence in your body. Confidence in
your body equals confidence in yourself. Yoga also boosts libido and the
ability to orgasm. But more on that later….
Naps. Why is it we only insist the young and sick take them? Many
older, wiser people take one every day. So, why do most humans between the age
of twenty and sixty forgo this simple necessity, often viewing naps as something
for the lazy and the weak? Naps
increase your energy, alertness and memory. A quick nap can give birth to
fresh creative ideas. Naps also
reduce stress, quiet the mind and
refresh the spirit. Whether it’s ten minutes or an hour, when was the last time
you woke up from a nap and thought, “Oh, I wish I hadn’t taken that nap?”
Sex. I’m talking about passionate, healthy “I love you” sex. Sex full of love, desire, respect and intimacy. Sex reduces stress
and boosts immunity. Orgasms are
believed to raise your oxytocin levels – the "love hormone." This hormone is
known to lower blood pressure, boost immunity and fuel positive social
interaction. Sex also allows us to take time out of our often hectic schedules
to connect and strengthen the emotional bond with our partner. When you take
time to intimately express the love you have for each other, you also tune in to
the love you have for yourself. That, in turn, inspires you to see and feel all
the love the world has to offer, and the love you have to give back.
Yoga, sex and a nap. Individually, they all inspire creativity and awareness, set your body and
spirit aglow, and strengthen the mind body connection. There’s a Zen quality to
each. My advice? Be bold. Aim for all three, daily. You won’t regret it.

Listen to Your Own Truth
The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.
~ Ram Dass
Bow your head to your heart – as we move through life may we honor this connection by leading with a heart full of love and guiding with a mind full of compassion
