late summer 2014 update
Hello dear readers, I have started going back to school (again). This time I am more prepared and disciplined, so I anticipate applying to nursing schools within 18 – 24 months if not sooner.

Bodhicitta in the workplace
Not too long ago, a fellow sangha member was supporting me when I was sick. I am grateful for his support (in the form of hearty soups and other good food) and I am very grateful too for the fascinating conversation we had at the time. We discussed non-duality and what is possible for aContinue reading “Bodhicitta in the workplace”
Wonderful, Heart Warming Movies
I have been watching a new genre of movies recently with my girlfriend. It has been fun to see these creative and outside the box types of films.

In this post, I want toContinue reading “Random acts of spontaneous compassion”

I have been working and due to my co-workers being on vacation, I have been working longer hours and busier shifts,Continue reading “Abusive relationship with your job?”
Svaroopa Yoga
In this post, I will mention a teeny tiny bit about Svaroopa Yoga. I was first introduced to this gentle and supportive form of yoga about seven years ago. I was fortunate that the teacher lived in my neighborhood and she offered an early morning class just a few blocks away. Else I might notContinue reading “Svaroopa Yoga”
A new blogging plan
Hello to all (2) of my readers! I just wanted to inform you that I intend to start a one-per-day blogging scheme for the next 30 days. So expect to see something everyday. Just don’t expect much more of that, because after the first week or so, I may run out of creativity and startContinue reading “A new blogging plan”
Dixie Lee Peas, further info on the farm
I just wrote the first post in this series yesterday and in it I described the way in which I drove out of a small but cosmopolitan city into the country, and then I drove back in time to visit my friend Simon, the old-timer farmer. I asked him about the barns behind his house,Continue reading “Dixie Lee Peas, further info on the farm”
