Traveling Thoughts
Everytime I take to the road I feel surges of inspirational energy, and I daydream of blank pages to fill. Crisp, white pages in a book just screaming for me to write on. I know where my destination is, but I’m never sure what or who I will encounter along the way, and THIS makes … Read more
My Skin Healing Journey Pt. II
Last month I wrote about the skin issues I have had for the past few years. I gave a run down of [ineffective] products I tried, the lifestyle changes I made, and the recent all natural approach I decided to take. To get a clear idea of how bad my adult acne was and to … Read more
Perception
I wrote this with a very special person on my mind. I have learned there is a blessing in every curse; a miracle in every sad story; an “Aha!” moment after total darkness. For thorns are accompanied by a rose; storms are followed by glistening rainbows; life springs forth after the dead of winter. Give … Read more
IN MY URINE! - Weed killer found in human urine across Europe - Chemicals, used by Monsanto GMO Crops
Reblogged from Looking for reasoning to a complicated world: Again this rumbles on, the USA now Europe. I had a debate with a person the other day, he said I only complain about the USA, he has known me a few weeks, maybe this will make him realise I have a valid point. Monsanto again … Read more
A Cake Recipe Gone Wrong
Reblogged from Marpay Fitness: Recently my wife and I went to a gathering. We enjoyed good food and fellowship. As is typical at this residence [1], the people there have dessert after a dinner gathering; usually cake and ice cream. Some of you know, I stopped eating gluten and dairy [2] a handful of months ago. … Read more
Follow Your Dreams
I received a small book of inspirational quotes from a former student right before I left to Italy, and I said I would post quotes everyday until I finished the book. I’m a tad behind on schedule, but better late than never! Enjoy, and remember – follow your dreams! Ciao, T.O.
Il Romanticismo della Mattina
Here I am… Still in bed. But it’s only 7:13 a.m. I am, however, thinking about pouncing on top of my friend, who is asleep in the other room, just to scare the crap out of her. I’ve been awake since 4 a.m. – I guess I drank a little too much wine before … Read more
Buongiorno!
My first sunrise in Italy! Have a wonderful, blessed day/night everyone! Namaste, T.O.
Farewell Gifts Spark Inspiration
I am such a lucky person to have anyone see me off to Italy today. I was in such a rush to make it to my gate that I did not have a long chance to look at my gifts. My former coworker and friend Tammy, along with one of my former students, Yared, bought … Read more
It’s As Simple As…
It’s as simple as asking, “If it’s for my highest good, please bring it into my life. I allow and embrace it. If it’s not for my highest good, let it be so. I understand and accept this. ॐNamasteॐ T.O.
No One is Perfect (Yet)
I remember watching a talk show about two years ago – the host was interviewing a woman who had been held captive, along with others, in a country outside the US. The talk show host said she had heard the woman had become “savage-like” during her forced stay. I remember the look on the woman’s … Read more
The Surrender
♥♥♥ Honestly my favorite part in my bikram yoga class is in my surrendering state – my back flat on the mat, palms facing up, heels together but relaxed. In this posture I am surrendering to the Universe and embracing all that is. My mind is still as the heat engulfs me. My heart beat … Read more
My Life, My Message
Let my life be my message. ॐNamasteॐ
