http://revrach.blogspot.com/2015/02/piece-of-mind-on-being-mindful.html

Saturday, February 7, 2015. Piece of Mind: On Being Mindful. Breathe. Be present. Be in the moment, releasing what holds me back. Let my thoughts quiet down. acknowledge the distraction and gently allow it to float away. Ahh yes, sweet sweet breaths. Damn is that flea bite on my ankle? Breathing and letting all the stress and anxiety go. Ahhh yes. Being one with the univer-. Oh that itches so bad. Sounds of dog scratching). Yes my sweet Lilly pup brings me feelings of joy and happiness. Do I have vinegar?

Rach on Retreat: The Super Moon in my Belly

http://revrach.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-super-moon-in-my-belly.html

Sunday, July 13, 2014. The Super Moon in my Belly. As much as it grieves me to admit this. I am a sensitive person. I think "grief" is the correct word. Maybe embarrassed? It's a vulnerable thing to admit to. Much less to you guys. That's also assuming that I've kept it a secret, which is really more like I didn't want to believe it while those around me see it everyday. Being honest with myself, then, I admit it - I'm a dote. A good dote. but a dote. What does this have to do with my belly? Two words: e...

Rach on Retreat: December 2012

http://revrach.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 3, 2012. It's curious to me how a person's influence becomes all the more enhanced by their exit from this world. And I suppose that's the crux of what it means to grieve. that moment when a person is no longer physically attainable. Surely this is something that not only happens in death, but in any situation where loss is a factor. What I don't always account for, however, is the impact of said loss on ME. Sure, this is my job. This is what I do. And I'm good at it. I've learned to imp...

Sunday, February 22, 2015. Woe to the Snow. The snow fell and fell and fell until all was covered with an albeit beautiful but cold layer of the most powdery and crystalline 6 inches of white your little heart ever did see. And it was a wonderful experience. for 24 hours. Then the freezing, refreezing, freezing and refreezing cycle began over the next few days making for life to go back to normal when it really wasn't and I was forced to walk in the snow in my Danskos. What about things like toilet paper?

Rach on Retreat: March 2014

http://revrach.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 28, 2014. So I auditioned for a band. And it was sort of by accident. I was gently nudged to give it a try after a day of "filling in" due to a no-show for the band's practice session. No pressure attached, just sing the melody. hum it if I have to. Why not? I've always been a closet rock-star. The staggering difference is the medium. it's a matter of speaking vs. singing. My speaking voice is clear, intentional and robust. My singing voice is. er. not bad. I can...However, I faced the fear...

To experience immunity from the. 65279;. For those who feel led, you can build me one of these. Where is my drive?

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. One Nation Under Who? The Nation's pledge reads:. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.". I see the "under God" portion of the pledge used as a reference point to support the idea that the US of A is a "Christian" nation. Here's another history lesson (I'm SUCH a nerd for this). In its original form it read:. Personally I don't take a whole lot o...
