A couple years ago I adopted ‘Spark’, a little 9 year old ‘rescue’ dog. She’s a ‘poodle mutt’. She came to me very smart, but uneducated. I’ve taught her a number of skills and tricks. Forget that stuff about not teaching old dogs new tricks!! She loves them. I’m starting to feel like all the exercises and […]

What a busy week! For years I have used and taught energy balancing disciplines. You can get a glimpse under Services at http://energywork4u.com . They had gone dormant over the last few months, just too much to do. Recently somebody asked me to teach “Brain Fitness”, so it was time for me to send out […]

Wednesday night, I went to sleep at about 1:00 a.m. with the alarm clock set for 7:57 a.m. Promptly at 7:56, I woke up and checked the time. Hah! With perfect precision, just one minute before alarm time, Subby saved me from the rude awakening of the alarm. Virtually everyone has had that experience. I […]

I’ve played piano since I was seven years old. When I was in high school, my keyboard agility was easy, natural, and quite accomplished. I don’t know why, but sometime in my late 20’s or early 30’s that changed. There was no physical injury, but the ease went away, especially from my right hand. The […]
Continue readingI got home late last night from a week away. It’s been a very mild winter where I live in Ontario, but a week ago Thursday the temperature plummeted. I count myself very lucky that the very next day I was on a plane to Las Vegas (convention) and then on to sunny southern California […]
Continue readingOur theme for the Sit, the meditation, this week is Concentration: become so absorbed in the object of your thought that you are conscious of nothing else… For years, when people asked me if I meditate, I would reply that my 60 to 90 minutes of piano practice first thing every morning just has to […]
Continue readingThought, Attention, Interest. Those three words are important in Haanel, Part 18. I’m also inclined to add the word Awareness. I promised Tony that I will record his piano piece, “Dream”, burn it to a CD and send it to him. The project is long overdue and I put it on my Service Card for this […]
Continue readingIn Haanel, Part 17 / 2, he says, “The vibrations of mental forces are the finest and consequently the most powerful in existence.” On the other hand, I attended an event last week at which an indigenous elder and devoted environmental activist mentioned that our heart is the seat of wisdom; our brain is the […]
