Caught Up!


People are really caught up in the appearances of it all.  Just the other day, my friend that I’ve known, more than half my life,  made a comment that threw me for a loop! We had just walked past  Owen Wilson in a coffee shop–I made eye contact and he said hello (this is aboutContinue reading “Caught Up!”

Too Young To Learn From?


I invited a friend to come with me to  yoga.  The teacher of the class is  20 years my junior.   When I invited him, he said, “No, I won’t go to her class–what can I learn from her, she is too young.” I sure am glad I didn’t have that attitude when I firstContinue reading “Too Young To Learn From?”

18 And I Like It!


A strange phenomenon has been happening for me–slowly, the more I am focusing on me with no male distractions, the more I seem to be reverting to my 18th year. This feeling comes in glimpses and memories pop in sporadically… The more time I spend ON MY OWN, the more I take on the meContinue reading “18 And I Like It!”

With Or Without You


I’ve been on my own for 4 years now. In those 4 years, I’ve gone from having 2 or 3 friends to having many. Some of them are there for me regularly, some of them are there for me only sometimes, but there are many to choose from. It took a while to build upContinue reading “With Or Without You”

Magnetic Energy


Some people have an energetic force that draws life to them.   It doesn’t matter what they look like, their energy trumps everything.  If it’s a high vibrating energy, it feels good and you want to be around it! Reach for the best feeling thought you can find and you will raise your energetic vibration higher IContinue reading “Magnetic Energy”

California Dreams Come True


I remember my second visit to California, I was 18 years old and loving this place!  Near the end of my trip, I read some graffiti on a freeway overpass, “Tourists GO HOME”!  I remember feeling really bad when I read it, almost like I had been personally attacked. I couldn’t understand how someone wouldContinue reading “California Dreams Come True”

Lessons In Time


My mom will be 83 years old this year.  Anyone who knows my mom, knows she is one strong woman–she had to be!  As a single parent with 4 kids, she had to be strong and responsible.  It seems she never missed a beat. It’s no surprise that us Jeter women are all very strong,Continue reading “Lessons In Time”

Degrees of Forgiveness?


Recently, I’ve had the “forgiveness” conversation with people. I’ve heard a common theme that troubles me. People seem to have varying degrees of forgiveness.  It seems that some things are acceptable to forgive yet others are not so acceptable.  Gosh, that doesn’t sound like forgiveness to me. I was telling someone that I was goingContinue reading “Degrees of Forgiveness?”

Outstanding


As I am becoming more and more appreciative and grateful for everything in my day to day living, I am noticing more and more people in my midst who are extremely appreciative and considerate.  It is so fun to watch the unfolding as it occurs. It’s good news to me, since I am a firmContinue reading “Outstanding”

Yoga–Open Heart Surgery!


I’ve been meeting many people who really want to develop a yoga practice.  Their first couple of experiences, though, have been challenging. When I hear this, I always ask them, “how bad do you want to practice yoga, what are you willing to go through, are you up for being annoyed, how about feeling frustrated?”Continue reading “Yoga–Open Heart Surgery!”

Feathers Find Me


It’s amazing the thoughts and beliefs we hold onto. Even long after we are adults and can clear the clutter of the limiting beliefs we’ve been taught, there are still some beliefs that hang on. Lately I have been walking by lots of feathers lying on the ground.  One of the things my mom told meContinue reading “Feathers Find Me”

Good Bye 40 something!


Today is my last day of being 40 something.  I started it out by going to Jerome Mercier’s Yoga class at 7am. My health is my greatest wealth and I am so grateful to have listened to my inner voice and continued on my path for all these years. Anyone who has had the pleasureContinue reading “Good Bye 40 something!”

Be Open


One of my favorite affirmations these days is, “I AM OPEN TO EVERYTHING AND ATTACHED TO NOTHING.” When I live with this intention, some of the most amazing things happen. Last weekend, a series of events occurred that reinforce my belief in staying tapped in, tuned in, and turned on to the positive flow ofContinue reading “Be Open”
