My most popular post has nothing to do with cats, even though people do search ‘funny cat’ quite frequently and find an image of a yoga-loving feline that I pinched from this page. Cute heh – there are dozens more. What exactly is it about cats that almost breaks the internet? What unites us in laughter and our shared desire … Read More
Does meditation drive you mad?
Well sometimes it does for me, but mostly when I’m not actually doing meditation and feeling bad that I’m not actually doing meditation when I feel I should be. Then I’m mad (mostly at myself). Yep meditation – just another shoulda, woulda, coulda in life. It’s March, actually the 6th already as I post, and in typical not-getting-myself organized-enough style I … Read More
Feeling all zen
My yoga retreat is over and I’m all zenned or zenned out, or something like that. This should be my 100th post, but I’m saving it for something special, so I thought I’d just wish you Namaste and simply show you what zen looks, feels, tastes and sounds like. Oh and it smells like woodfire smoke on a cold mountain night. … Read More
Peace – in the night garden
Having a two year old tends to change your television viewing habits. Now I know there are parents who insist (or say they do) that two years olds shouldn’t watch any TV. Really. I’m not that good.

We visited both locations on our grand Californian adventure this time last year. We stopped to snap the famous Hollywood sign, but we didn’t really experience Hollywood or LA style. Instead we … Read More
So you want to change the world? Start with yourself:)
On this 10th anniversary of the 2002 Bail Bombing (12 October) we remember the victims and their families and hope for a more peaceful world. Last week (2 October) was Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, celebrated as a national holiday in India and as International Non-Violence Day around the world. Perhaps its a good time to reflect on how we can play our part (however small) in … Read More
The Spring/Fall Equinox – all things are pretty equal
We got up for the sunrise to mark the Spring Equinox down-under. Sunrises are always worth getting up for. And its a great day to celebrate balance – the sun shines directly over the equator and the night and day are almost equal! Of course that will change tomorrow.
Welcome to the yin and yang of my life (and maybe yours)
Thanks for connecting… So we’re all connected – you found this blog because we’re all connected in the universal flow of life – because you’re a Facebook friend or a friend of a friend, or a friend of a friend (you get my drift). Maybe you just happened upon this blog in the universe of cyberspace – what’s the chance … Read More
