It's always reassuring to find other hiker's on the path willing to share what's up ahead. As we journey towards joy, fulfillment, and love let us be one another's guide.Be well, Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03724326823068441506noreply@blogger.comBlogger111100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089299637991113595.post-82143375072860996662012-02-11T22:34:00.000-08:002012-02-11T23:13:28.029-08:00

Is one of the most grounded people I've seen interviewed. In talking about Motorcycle Diaries:He told a Toronto journalist that Che was an icon, and so he is almost flat, he has no detail, and so he can be any person. (every person).This movie was about Che before he knew he was Che, before the world knew he was Che.He speaks with Charlie Rose about discipline, about playing. Charlie says you

I just watched Avatar again, and I find it exciting. We use this alien as an abstraction for a human experience which all humans can relate to because it is an abstraction. This could have been called in Yin ruled the world. What I love, what moves me, what blows my mind, is that no image in this highly creative artistic film was new. Why? Because we can only imagine what we've experienced,

1. Risk more emotionally(This is the purpose. This is the #1 regret if not lived. Joseph Campbell calls relationship the "Holy Spirit". There was much less to lose than we thought. Since we cannot tell which risks will matter. Always find yourself moving towards what you like/ a clearer expression of you. Truly reach out for what you want.)2.Receive Love, Trust, Be dependent, Be vulnerable,

You know how uncertainty seems to run deep? It seems deeper than a mood or an emotion. It feels like a condition bigger than us. It seems to tap into a universal truth. Things are uncertain, and they are. Circumstances are always changing. It is our task to sail these waters. This is true.Also, true:Uncertainty always emerges from a circumstance or a pattern of thoughts. Uncertainty

Two things I've noticed about the human mind:1. We act as if how it is, is how it will always be. When you are in something (say unemployment) your mind without an editor, without awareness, without any help from you, sometimes takes the perspective that how it is now it will always be. Yet, it can't be. We know EVERYTHING changes, even the hard stuff. And yet we act or feel at times the

I am returning to this site not to impress you with every word, but to share experiences I love. It's important to surround yourself with the images and experiences that support, inspire, and encourage you. Here I will post my favorite links to my favorite poems, graceful heart-felt dances, comics that had me in stitches, insight spiritual and otherwise. There are a lot of ways to make this

I have many friends wondering what they want to do with their lives, having a hard time figuring out what their passion is. Tonight in talking to a friend I realized, I want to be creative. It hit me like a new thought, with delight, with resonance. But where was this thought hiding? I know this about myself. I have been singing to the daffodils since I was 3. I created a classroom for my

Here are some of the ideas I'm playing with this week.God shows up In you, as you. (Author of Eat, Pray, Love)You are the only, Alisha, so let your unique expression shine.It is not what you Do that gives life meaning, but the attitude with which you do it.A valuable contribution is a joyful life.

Beauty can be subtle and unexpected. It doesn't always come with trumpets and white dresses down the aisle. A day can be beautiful, but so subtle it's like the sun coming in through the window and creating a stripe on the ground, and on a good day you can sit in it for a while. This is how my day started. I woke up to my own rhythm. I got up found a spot of sun, and laid back down. As I

It's funny, I have noticed when I try to come clean and be more congruent instead of the freedom I'm expecting, I find the end of the leash and a sense of whiplash. It's as if in my intent to become more honest the universe echos back with other examples, don't forget about this and this, and this... Here's my most recent story. A friend asked me to kitty sit, which is great except I live in a

My intention is to take this chance to communicate and connect with others. I will post observations, draw connections I see around me, share appreciations and hopefully we will all benefit from the time spent together on this site. My hope is what you need you will find here whether contributed by me or someone else.Today I want to share:The moment before it rains it feels like the air is
