Dan Millman, author of "Everyday Enlightenment" said, "No one feels the same way all the time. Even if you are angry, depressed, crazy, afraid, or grieving, you’ll have moments when you are distracted. There are no enlightened people, no nice, bad, smart, neurotic, or stupid people, either--only ... http://shedarestodream.com/?p=60 I winced as I read this. "If you look around you at those who are most unhappy you'll often find that they are the people who have a "starved" feeling in some way, and are therefore taking a very grasping posture towards life. They feel that life in general and other people ... http://shedarestodream.com/?p=56 I was at a friend's place on the weekend for a party. We were too busy, and really with the amount of food to look forward to later in the day, we skimped on lunch. My friend's husband brought out some crackers and Cheese Whiz to tide us over. Now, I have ... http://shedarestodream.com/?p=54 "Do you want to be the statue or the bird?"   I read that neat little piece of sophistry the other day and my inclination is to say the statue only because I don't like the idea of pooping my way to glory. When I land on someone I hope to leave ... http://shedarestodream.com/?p=52 Yesterday at 9:17a.m. I laid out my yoga mat and started with a series of Sun Salutations.

Brian reads the books we all swear we're going to make ... http://shedarestodream.com/?p=30 I was drawn to a quote that said, "People who achieve their dreams have these qualities in common: They have confidence in themselves and a very strong sense of purpose. They never have excuses for not doing something and always try their hardest for perfection. They never consider the idea ... http://shedarestodream.com/?p=28 Phil Keoghan is the host of that "amazing" reality series, "The Amazing Race." The native New Zealander more than walks his talk.
