This morning I made a new cover photo for my Facebook page, based on an infographic I saw someone else had posted. The infographic in question was this: It hit me smack in the face with its truth. And when things hit me like that, I tend to try and repeat the experience. Not because [...]
The Story of my Life, Altered (for a Change)
As you know, a couple of years ago, I bravely stated on this blog that I was going on a diet. I did what I said, and many months later, I reached the goal I had set for myself on that diet. Yippee, right? Well, not so fast… Now, some months after that, I have [...]
Whole Lotta Riskin’ Goin’ On
After blogging here for over a year, I’ve come to a few conclusions: You can’t work with, hang with or converse much with Laura Biering without some riskiness rubbing off on you. Risk is integral to the larger picture of living a conscious life and that knowledge, for me at least, is what makes risking [...]

Quiet moments when I’m physically alone (Sunday mornings, coffee at my neighborhood café, on a hike, on a plane), the nurturing voices of the Divine are present and downright loud. I hear them and it never occurs to me [...]
Revisiting a Risk
My first Risk a Day blog entry was about relaxing — specifically, relaxing about my daughter’s home school education. I wrote that worrying about her education made me feel I was doing something about it, when in truth I was just keeping my brain busy. I did relax, mostly, but I didn’t stop thinking about [...]
An unexpected gift…
I’ve been feeling irritated lately – not all the time, but enough. I have a short fuse….and I easily talk myself into low-grade crankiness. Nothing worth noting is causing it. It’s the holidays, my life is beyond good…I have much to be thankful for and blessings are all around me. I can access that happiness [...]
Heartache
A few days ago I took the risk of being honest with myself. I sat down and wrote about everything that hurts right now: all the pain that follows me around, all the unfinished business and emotional uncertainty that causes my heart to shrink into a tiny, hard ball. My heart is a peach [...]
