Religion O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done your will with cheerfulness during the day, [...]

Philosophy,
True Stories My life has been lived in a raging hurry the last few weeks. Catching up at work from a vacation. Running to various doctor appointments. Getting kids ready for, and off to, summer camp. Fighting with the ex. Yard sales. Curriculum fairs. And a multitude of other activities. And it hasn’t ended yet. But that’s [...]

Family Life,
True Stories My life has spun out of control these last few weeks. (If that sounds like a familiar plaint to my long-time friends, that’s because my life tends to do that. A lot.) However, I have accomplished two big goals, and I’m on the cusp of a third. We’ll see in a few weeks if it [...]

Philosophy,
Religion Some time ago, I began reading Alex Lickerman’s blog. It’s interesting to read about the philosophy and outlook of a man who is actively practising Buddhism. And occasionally (more often than not), I find in his posts a touchstone — one of those universal truths that transcends religious creed and just is true. Today’s post contains one [...]

Family Life The massive workload continues. I’m not really complaining. Honest. I don’t like to be bored, and I don’t mind either my office work or my household work. I’m just feeling a bit … overwhelmed … lately. In the past, I would have hired out some of the stuff on the to-do list. But the budget [...]

Family Life If some scientist somewhere could come up with a way to alter the stream of time, I would be so very grateful. I have a boatload and a half of projects that need attention, and there’s nowhere near enough time to address them all. Among the pile of things to do… I’m discontinuing my blogs [...]

Family Life,
True Stories,
Work Life Friday was one of those days. Just impossible. Every way I turned. It started on the way to work, when the road to my parents’ house was blocked and I had to turn around and go a mile and a half “around the block” to drop the kids off for the day. And that, of [...]

Cleanse,
Diet I think I’m going to come off of the Lemonade Diet after today. Today is day ten, and that’s the minimum number of days. I had hoped to be able to go to the maximum of forty days. But, while I have had no physical problems at all, I have been fighting a battle with [...]

Cleanse,
Diet,
Low-Carb Well, I made my decision this morning. I’m going to phase out of the cleanse/fast starting this afternoon. I’m kind of disappointed, but it’s becoming stressful to stay on the fast, and that will negate much of the good that I have achieved. There’s no point in continuing if I’m going to be miserable for [...]

Cleanse,
Diet Some excerpts from my journal to catch this blog up on my progress with this diet, which is really a powerful detox regimen: Day 1: Okay, spicy, ultra-sweet lemonade. Rather odd flavour combination going on here. The spicy doesn’t bother me; one of my favourite drinks in summer is the juice from my homemade salsa, [...]
