Day 5

Today is the first day of full-time with JHU. I have a work scheduled of 8:30-5 with 1 hour lunch break. I haven’t really worked someone else’s schedule in a LOOOOONG time with the exception of the 2.5 years I was teaching in a school. Yikes. I’m a little anxious about that.

So, I’ve got the candle lit and ready to sit down for morning meditation before I ‘go to work’. Now to actually go over and do it!


Well that didn’t happen! I did take a :30 break to attend the recap meeting this afternoon, and that was helpful. At the end of my workday, I plan to sit with myself and do a mediation and think about presence. Mostly I just want to take a nap!


So we’ll just call this a day and re-boot tomorrow better……

    I did my mala meditation for a start today, and feeling a little wander-ish with my time this morning. Part of me wants to ‘get to work’ and do online yoga class and meditation. Part of me wants to lay on the daybed and read and play solitaire. And part of me wants to do…

    Our first weekly group meeting, via Zoom (thank you Covid19) was on a Friday night, and I joined almost 50 others to start this journey. I had completed the 40 days in January-Feb. this year, but the re-boot felt like a good idea. Each week has a theme and some truths: WEEK 1: PRESENCE Seek…

  • Day 8

    Today I fell back asleep for an hour and took a shower and haven’t yet made time to meditate or eat breakfast, and my workday is already started and I feel a lot scattered. I think I may take a pause and reset, at least on meditation and breakfast. Will report more later. Really happy…
