Perspective is a funny and amazing thing. And don’t worry about saying it out loud. The only people who heard you were your kind mothers and dear friends from the past.

OK. Given that most of your readers have NO idea what I’m talking about, and if they did would think I was positively bonkers woo-woo, I’ll close now.

Oh – except for one more thing. Thank you. This had not been a stellar week. Your love and laughter made a difference.

Thanks for a great post, Mr. Firepants! And you’ve got an awesome list of some of my favorite folks for providing spiritual inspiration!!

My unicorn has a 6-disc changer. So there.

@Libby Yeah, exercise is huge for me, too. When we lived in D.C. my everyday getaway was running through Dupont Circle with my iPhod crankin’.

My personal belief is that people who have some kind of spiritual practice in their lives are better able to deal with the Bad Stuff when it happens.

@Mahala Lady, you have a lifetime pass in the club.

Perspective is a funny thing, isn’t it? It’s humbling to know that any realizations I have from my practice have been realized before by someone else. Or, maybe it was me anyway? Woa. Did I say that out loud?

Unfortunately, should you read my current post, you may rightly choose to remove me from this esteemed club. I am so not on track myself these days.

However, I suspect I’m still woo-woo enough. I might quibble with the term, given I’m practicing a 2,500 year old tradition. But the Zen Buddhists think the Tibetan Buddhists are too woo-woo, so, there you go.

If I’m in a creative rut (typically because I’ve been coding all day and feel more like a lump of dough than a creative genius), I look at lots of stuff. Magazines, blogs, anything pretty with lots of colors (“Oooo! Shiny!”). I usually see something that sparks me and the train gets back on track (and it keeps my design senses all tuned up). Or I read about other women who are successful and I get excited and jump back to it.

Across the top, though, I pray. I believe I was made to do what I’m doing, I just need to be steadied sometimes. I am so passionate about people being who they’re created to be, even myself! Divine adjustment is essential to my mental balance. I ask for help to be who I really am, and a calm excitement takes over and I feel focused and ready to do this thing again.

No, seriously. Being naked, in any sense of the word, invites true self-awareness. Being all you can be.

And then I give myself a hug, pet my kitten Fluffy, and go for a ride on the unicorn I keep out back.
