Is it Just Me?

Or has 3 Fat Chicks gone down almost from the moment that I began gushing about them?
If anyone has reached this blog through that, would you mind letting me know what happened? I haven’t been able to access them for days.

Sunday Something: Good News Sunday

Christ. Baha’u’llah. Rumi. Blake. Gerard Manly Hopkins. Buddha. Marianne Robinson. Maynard, for God’s sake.
Of all the people I could have quoted from in order to demonstrate my point, I chose Garth Brooks.Really. I quoted Garth Brooks. In church, no less.
Today was the day. I had meant to practice what I was going [...]

Monday Update

I really can’t express how much I am digging on 3FatChicks. There is so much information there that it blows my mind. They have exercise challenges where everyone inputs the amount of minutes they’ve exercised for the day for a running total for the group of participants, and weekly weigh-ins, and things like that, [...]

Declaration

O Son of Spirit!
Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou was created.

~ Baha’u’llah, The Hidden Words
The Fast officially ended at sunset this evening, and boy oh boy was it a learning process. Far more than last year, and I was far less [...]

So Much for Tuesday

I’m sort of a mess today.
Scratch that, I’m definitely a mess today.
Spring Break is here, and I slept in again. I woke up, ate breakfast, and went back to bed, content that I’d observe the Fast again.
Right.

On Dreaming

I didn’t walk either Saturday or Sunday morning, something that definitely has messed with my continuity. Because I work over night on Friday and Saturday nights, unless I walk at work during my so-called “lunch break” (after 7 am when my relief comes in), I don’t have the energy to walk at all.
This morning is [...]

It’s amazing how many excuses I can find when I don’t want to do something.
Not enough time, not enough energy. Can’t find the right words. Can’t find…whatever.
So soon, eh, and I’m fighting the bullshit. I should have known better.
Right now my excuse is that I don’t know how to flip pictures. Yes, it’s true. [...]

Miracles Part II

When ink joins a with a pen, then the blank paper
can say something. Rushes and reeds must be woven
to be useful as a mat. If they weren’t interlaced,
the wind would blow them away.

We have commanded you to pray and fast from the beginning of maturity; this is ordained by God, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers. He hath exempted from this those who are weak from illness or age, as a bounty from His Presence, and He is the Forgiving, the Generous. [...]

Miracles Part I

Thy name is healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion. Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succor both in this world and the world to come. Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the [...]
