Welcome to City-Data.com forum! Make sure to This started as my travel log. (We've been traveling the USA from Seattle, WA since Labor Day '08.) My husband has a great website showing the highlights and his commentaries on the places we've been and the things we've done. (View via my profile home page.)
I found that while discovering the country, I was also finding myself. I am learning what to keep, and what to drop -- or chisel away. I don't mind sharing; maybe you will learn something from my lessons, too.
Then came Bigun, my Cocker-Beagle, my newest guru. He's got his own category in the Blog, and an album on my profile.
You are welcome to what I have, good and bad, and leave messages as you like, but please be kind. I, too, am still "in training."

The Eternal Now -- NOW What??!
Posted 10-24-2009 at 09:09 AM by LookinForMayberry
We spent some time listening to Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" and have completed only the first two chapters. It's been an amazing help to me in Staying Present.
The thing is, now that I am HERE, what?
It occurs to me that I've been soooooo hooked into my ego and emotional waves that I've lost my "taste" for everyday life. I've never thought of myself of a "drama queen" but perhaps there is an element of that, in here.
Years ago, when I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux, I went on a strict diet that consisted of raw fruits and veggies, some nuts, and only corn or oat grains. At first, I shied from any spices or seasonings. Everything tasted soooooo BLAND. This is like THAT.
After about a month, as I recall, I started noticing that I LIKED the taste of carrots, peppers, cabbage, etc -- in their raw, unaltered state. Until then -- yawn, is it time to eat, again, already?
(I lost 25 lbs and never dieted!)
So, I am hoping this will be the same, but right now, I find my ego trying to "kick up" some dust, just to spice life up a little.
Hmmmmm... or, should I say: "Ommmmm"?
