PassageWays - Celebrations of Growth and Change: Happy Holidays: Rituals of an Overcompensator
http://passagewaysnw.blogspot.com/2010/12/happy-holidays-rituals-of.html
Friday, December 10, 2010. Happy Holidays: Rituals of an Overcompensator. A Facebook friend recently posted a comment that she didn't understand people who get stressed out about holiday rituals like sending cards, putting up decorations, baking cookies and so forth. Her assessment was that, since nobody is making you do these things, why do them if you don't enjoy them? This holiday season, I'm trying to talk myself out of sending the usual holiday letter and cards, a. My Holiday Yoga practice includes ...

PassageWays - Celebrations of Growth and Change: Triangulation works better in trigonometry class

Sunday, February 20, 2011. Triangulation works better in trigonometry class. Or risking her or his relationship with you by telling you that s/he doesn't want to get pulled into what is essentially none of her/his business (this third scenario almost NEVER happens, in case you hadn't guessed). 2) If Person A, with whom you have the issue, finds out from someone else that you have gone to Person B with this private matter, you have now damaged your trust with Person A, which makes it even more challenging...

Tuesday, December 21, 2010. We humans are diurnal creatures, evolved to go about our business in the daylight. Our circadian rhythms respond to an increase in the duration and intensity of natural light by making us more energetic and happier.

PassageWays - Celebrations of Growth and Change: Cosmogenesis, Chapter 1
http://passagewaysnw.blogspot.com/2010/07/cosmogenesis-chapter-1.html
Wednesday, July 14, 2010. Cosmogenesis, Chapter 1. Here's a new creation story - an attempt to apply the little I know about quantum physics to the age-old human quest for a meaningful myth about where we came from and what our place is in the universe. It has always seemed to me that all that is, is holy - by virtue of its "isness." What does "holy" mean? You look at the light dancing on the water, and tell me. And were precious beyond measure to the Mother. For they sacrificed their oneness out of ...

PassageWays - Celebrations of Growth and Change: January 2011
http://passagewaysnw.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 20, 2011. The hardest question of all. And I happen to believe you can.I just don't believe it happens magically or naturally. Building a marital partnership (whether or not you are legally married) which is, to use one couple's description, sustainable. You can't wait for your partner to be the first to start. It's up to YOU to be "transparent" in your marital relationship, and to continually work towards creating an environment in which your partner can do the same. I've been having s...

PassageWays - Celebrations of Growth and Change: April 2010
http://passagewaysnw.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. A Mother's Day tribute: Is there a Hallmark card for a mom who WASN'T my best friend? For years, the rituals surrounding Mother's Day have driven me to the edge of madness. I was OK with the whole take-her-out-to-brunch thing, though I always prefer to cook at home, but what was I supposed to get as a Mom's Day gift for a woman who is a compulsive hoarder? In the World According to Hallmark, apparently my mother and I were supposed to be carefree, giggling gal-pals who shopped for...

PassageWays - Celebrations of Growth and Change: November 2010
http://passagewaysnw.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 26, 2010. Bone Country" and rituals of place. As we celebrate a season of thanksgiving and abundance, many of us engage in rituals that center on relationship with family, friends and, of course, food. This season of celebration, plus a recent trip to my native state of California, got me thinking about another kind of relationship to be thankful for: relationship with place. Each other in some inexplicable way. My family moved 80 miles away when I was 6 1/2 years old, but my attachment ...

Monday, March 29, 2010. Sorting through the wedding hoopla - what was the point again? What do you want to remember most vividly about your wedding day - the ice sculpture, or the ceremony? WARNING (1): I'm going to engage in some shameless self-promotion. WARNING (2): It will probably take a while to get around to that part. Think about a wedding ceremony. What part does it play (or did it play) in the experience of your wedding day? I didn't think so. Did I say that? I guess, now that I get to it, I do...
