As promised, I decided to put up some of my writings from writing class. These were written in 10 minutes using a writing prompt, and I have barely edited them in order to keep up with the blog. So we aren’t talking top quality! Observing I remember, this morning, the older woman got on the [...]

Things that aren’t on the Internet… and interesting facts about blood thinners
I assume everything is on the internet now, so I get annoyed when I google things that, shockingly, nobody has written about yet. My friend planning a circus trapeze class birthday party, and it occurred to me that perhaps I should proceed cautiously since I’m on blood thinners (coumadin) – after all, extreme sports are [...]

Patience
On patience (after day 1 of a patience workshop at New York Insight): The teacher says, patience is not passive, but rather it is hard work born out of that moment between experiencing an emotion and acting on that emotion. I think it’s easy to conjure up images of getting immediately angry at someone, or [...]

The financial worth of being with your kids…?
So I embarked a long time ago on a plan to visualize maternal/paternal health care in different countries. I won’t go into detail because I don’t want to ruin the actual post and visualization.

For Christmas Preethi and I made these monkeys for our niece (Molly). The pattern was made, and is freely available, by an obviously awesome woman Larissa and are called Molly Monkey patterns.

WorkFlowy and Pinterest
My latest new thing is WorkFlowy. I found out about it while researching…I don’t remember what…… and some guy said that this website is perfect for people with ADD but provided no additional description.

I don’t have much to say
It’s been pointed out to me that it’s been 50 years since my last post. The problem is, it’s hard to think of what to post! I have e-mails piling up in my inbox with really cool things people have sent me that are data related, as well as this conference call I was on [...]

Shubha and Acrow
I don’t know why it took me so long to play with Google Correlate but finally… let’s see what correlates best to people googling me!

Why New York is the best place to practice meditation
The gatekeeper technique of meditation: focus on one point and watch your breath as it passes through that exact spot, as if you’re a gatekeeper watching people at the moment they pass underneath the arch to enter the city. I’ve never actually been able to do this, but I can imagine it – sensing molecules [...]
