Yesterday, at 11:42am Pacific time the walls started shaking vigorously.
As millions of southern Californians, I wondered what this was about.
My first thought was our beloved neighbor. When he runs up and down the stairs, our condo shakes and reverberates throughout. Perhaps it was his washer or dryer going haywire? Could he be blaring his music LOUDLY, once again?
Uh, no.
This was something more.
An earthquake?
Uh, maybe so. Continue reading »

One of the first and most important principles to recognize on your path of everyday inner peace, is this: “Right here, right now, give up the idea of perfection.” Seriously.
Ironically, striving for inner peace — 100% of the time — is a surefire way to experience unnecessary stress and suffering. I know this first hand.
When I finally decided to embrace “everyday inner peace” as the subject I wanted to take a stand for in the world, my husband said, “Well, that means, you’re going to have to be at peace ALL of the time.” Gulp. The pressure was on.
I thought he was right.
Turns out, just “deciding” to embrace inner peace 24/7 isn’t the magic bullet. Not that easy. I almost gave up “inner peace” as my passionate purpose because I wasn’t able to do inner peace “perfectly.” But, I didn’t.

I had a little surgery today.
And… in those first few minutes of consciousness, a wave of gratitude and inner peace overwhelmed my entire nervous system. Almost to the point of tears. All I could think of was capturing this precious slice of life.
When was the last time you had one of those moments?
Seems like a rather personal share for my second blog post on “Everyday Inner Peace,” but I try not to argue with inspiration. And, I am lying flat on my back. What else is a girl to do?
Turns out the surgery was VERY worthwhile.
I had Stage II Endometriosis, which via laparoscopic surgery, they zapped off. They also removed a polyp and drained a cyst — creating a much happier environment for a fertilized egg to implant and grow into a baby some day. Very productive day if you ask me!
Tummy is a bit sore, mostly from the inside out. Not a good day for a round of sit-ups, or sitting upright. But, all is well.
My last moment of consciousness was right after I scooted onto the operating table in the surgery room. Then, POOF! “Lights out.” This must be what time travel will be like.
Now imagine, I’m in the post-op recovery room lying on the gurney, nestled under a blanket. The IV is dripping. As I “came to” with a fuzzy mind, an automatic flood of emotion had me smiling on the inside AND the outside. The nurses might’ve thought it was the drugs. Little did they know…
I was having an “inner peace moment.” Continue reading »
