  • Ron Siegel on Mindfulness

    Updated: 2011-10-31 13:09:19
    Five years ago I was asked by the U.S. Army to put on a mindfulness presentation at their national health conference in Albuquerque, NM. I knew very little about this subject at the time, so I politely declined.

    Well, you dirty trollops, it’s that time of year again.

  • Having a ‘bad day’ …

    Updated: 2011-10-26 12:31:00
    “I’m having a bad day” is proclaimed far too often and at inopportune times … like while we’re waiting to be served in some capacity. It’s typically issued as a waiver, an excuse of the intolerable behaviour to which we will soon be subjected. Great. And all I wanted was a coffee, black, no creme, [...]

    The Notre Dame cathedral in Strasbourg. France is so closely bordered by shops, hotels and restaurants that it was impossible for me to get a photo showing the church in its entirety.   This magnificent structure completely dominates its surroundings.  Strasbourg is a lovely city, the ninth largest in France.
