There’s a scene in Eat, Pray, Love when Elizabeth Gilbert is in Bali and her lover tells her she should
choose her thoughts every morning the same way she chooses her clothes.
A friend of mine had the movie on in the background, while she attacked the floor in her hallway with her new Black and Decker power scrubber.
It’s not the first time she’s seen the movie (who hasn’t watched it countless times?), but the words really resonated with her this time around. Her timing, in Continue reading
Actually, just looking at this photo and imagining myself in it makes me happy. So beautiful and serene. But what inspired this 
post is a terrific article I read on Facebook last week.
It’s about Matthieu Ricard, a 69-year-old monk who’s being called “the world’s happiest man;” and here’s the link if you want to read it.

Do you ever watch Super Soul Sunday? It’s one of Oprah’s and can be found on the OWN Network. On Sunday’s obviously. Here, in Toronto, where I live, it
