PICTURE THIS: Hounded By Heaven 3: Total Freedom
http://imnotjudy.blogspot.com/2010/02/total-freedom.html
Sunday, February 14, 2010. Hounded By Heaven 3: Total Freedom. Lately, I've been aware of my pettiness and anxieties. I get to thinking I've arrived at a secure base camp and I start ascending to a loftier life, then something happens and I'm thrown back down the mountain. I know this is part of the process and as standing. Reminds me, I just need to breathe. Part of that breathing always leads me to reading material that lifts me up again. This is from J. Krishnamurti's Total Freedom:. I always say that...

PICTURE THIS: The Taste Of Contentment
http://imnotjudy.blogspot.com/2009/12/taste-of-contentment.html
Sunday, December 13, 2009. The Taste Of Contentment. Asked me to describe. Bring inner peace. I guess it is pretty super and mystical to arrive at a happier place. The consuming need to acquire riches, fame or power is explained as empty desires. With Tao, you have genuine wealth that never fades away. And you don't need to shout it around. If you have a pocketful of gold, it is just as valuable whether others know about it or not. Here is a favorite quote from "The Mystic Path To Cosmic Power." -. Inter...

Finding Meaning in the Everyday: July 2011
http://cramcake.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Finding Meaning in the Everyday. Sunday, July 17, 2011. 51, briefly shining. Again, I know it's been awhile. It's not like nothing has happened, it's just that I haven't felt like blogging about it. SoI'll briefly mention a couple of things. I thanked him, and told him it was good to hear because I wasn't completely sure. He said, "I can't believe the distance you get with your kick! I thanked him again. That guy made my day! And maybe my whole swim training experience. Links to this post. An open letter...

Finding Meaning in the Everyday: Swimming is hard. (no. 49)
http://cramcake.blogspot.com/2011/06/swimming-is-hard-no-49.html
Finding Meaning in the Everyday. Monday, June 13, 2011. Swimming is hard. (no. 49). Alright, for those of you who were concerned about when I'd finally get in the pool, worry no longer. Then the pool opens up and I head in with the ladies, stopping briefly in the shower to soak my hair as per my stylists suggestion. "Hair is like a sponge, soak it with water before you get in the pool and it won't absorb as much chlorine and won't get as damaged". Brilliant! Wear them, you know? Alright. I set my wat...

Finding Meaning in the Everyday: 46th, and my "to do" list
http://cramcake.blogspot.com/2011/06/46th-and-my-to-do-list.html
Finding Meaning in the Everyday. Thursday, June 2, 2011. 46th, and my "to do" list. Since this triathlon endeavour is likely the most interesting thing in my life right now (or at least, the thing most on my mind), I'll be sharing my experiences and thoughts about it with you all. First, I have come up with a list of concerns I have about this event. Let me enumerate my fears:. 3) I'm scared someone will kick/hit me in the face during the swim. How do I successfully negotiate a crowd (or let someone who ...

Finding Meaning in the Everyday: April 2011
http://cramcake.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Finding Meaning in the Everyday. Thursday, April 28, 2011. Gah, alright. This blog is a bit personal, but hey. I trust you all to "do no harm". So in my gradual weaning off the Klonopin (the anti-seizure, tranquilizing drug that had been "easing" my nerve deal), I have encountered, er, difficulties at each stage. Both physiological and psychological hiccups. Psychologically, it's a whole horror show inside my head. First, not sleeping, as we have learned. So, please, keep your fingers crossed I make it t...

Finding Meaning in the Everyday: 2010 - ammended
http://cramcake.blogspot.com/p/what-happened-to-me-in-2010.html
Finding Meaning in the Everyday. It started Saturday, January 16th, 2010. I'll probably never forget that date. We went to see Avatar with our neighbors at lunch. I ate a mediocre soft pretzel in the movie theater. That evening, we picked up my mother-in-law from the train station and went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant, Venice Ristorante, across the street from Union Station. I had chocolate covered profiteroles (I had already eaten dinner at home) and they were delicious. I see a chiropractor w...

Finding Meaning in the Everyday: No. 45 (or 15337th place)
http://cramcake.blogspot.com/2011/05/no-45-or-15337th-place.html
Finding Meaning in the Everyday. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. No 45 (or 15337th place). I was so glad that the same friend I ran with in 2004 wanted to run with me again this year. We have always had fairly similar paces, so I felt good about being able to run the whole thing with her again (without stopping ha ha). And we did! Back to the race.]. The BB finishes with a run through the CU football stadium. It's super fun (? So I sprinted (read: accelerated from a jog to a run) to the end. I suppose I'll find o...

Finding Meaning in the Everyday: February 2011
http://cramcake.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Finding Meaning in the Everyday. Thursday, February 17, 2011. This morning as I left the house for my run, Cheap Trick got me doing the “air drum”. It was relatively warm out (read: above freezing), the ice sheets and piles of snow are starting to melt, the sun was already up, and the beat was catchy. 8220;I want you to want me.”. It really can’t be any simpler than that. 8220;I need you to need me. I’d love you to love me. I’m beggin you to beg me.”. I have since gone back for color. They’re not t...
