The greatest wonder in the Universe

Sharing this with you today – wonder about yourself.   Observe yourself.  Look inward.  Question yourself.   See who you really are …  open to your magnificence!

“People travel to wonder at the height of the
mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long
course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean,
at [...]

Oneness – All criticism is self-criticism

A few days ago, a friend forwarded an e-mail from a mutual acquaintance that described her travels over the past few weeks – Haiti, Holland, Norway, Indonesia, London – just reading the e-mail I couldn’t keep up.  She described her sojourns in various places, her travelling experiences and her crash and burn when it all [...]

Minding Tiger’s business

For the past two weeks, all sorts of things have been happening in the world – the USA is sending more troops to Afghanistan, there is a climate change conference in Denmark which most world leaders are attending; the atrocities in Darfur, Myanmar and other places continues; the economic crisis shows no signs of being [...]

The awesome power of making the bed

There are days that are very productive and some that are not.  Some days, I declare with a real sense of accomplishment “It was a very good day”.  Then there are others when I review my list of “things to do” and see very little accomplished.  Now, I know that if I do something once, [...]

In futile pursuit of squirrels

Nowadays, my dogs can’t wait to get outside for a walk.  I realize that for them it is less about doing their “thing” and more about sighting and chasing the numerous squirrels that inhabit our complex.  As the doggies set out on their squirrel-hunt, mama Cloud in the lead, you can see the anticipation in [...]

Free and laughing at the car wash

Canada is full of new and wonderful experiences!  A week after I arrived I did something I had wanted to do for years – I went to the car wash!   In Jamaica, the car wash is typically a man with a bucket and rag.  The experience of an automated, drive-through car wash is new to [...]

Jamaican athletics moving forward

I wrote this last year after Jamaica’s performance in the Beijing Olympics. I am repeating it, after Jamaica’s performance in the Berlin World Championships. The calls for “government to do this and government to do that” are getting louder – I take a different view, as I observe something really interesting. Read [...]

Divine Order the morning of Victoria’s exam

This morning my daughter had an examination at 8.00 a.m. This is the one morning when:
1. We all wake up late
2. Shane’s school uniform is not ironed
3. My car has a flat tyre
PANIC!
But, it is also the morning when:
1. I breathe
2. I affirm Divine Order
3. Marlon, the gardener is working today
4. My friend Paula, whose [...]

An unfree and unlaughing moment

Yesterday I had an unfree and unlaughing moment!
I turned into a parking space at a small shopping plaza. The vehicle beside me was parked badly i.e. on the yellow line, and so I adjusted how I parked in order to give the driver space to enter his car. A security guard began [...]

Douglas and Daisy’s wedding anniversary orchid

I received this e-mail from my sister this morning:

This orchid plant was given to us by the School of Dance at the time of Mummy’s passing. Here it is in full bloom once more on Mummy and Daddy’s 61st Wedding Anniversary!

The amazing thing is that I have never had an orchid rebloom – they usually [...]
