December 8th, 2007 - The Cycle Continues

December 8th of this year was the day my mother died. A strong woman, a strong human, until her end. Her strength lives on within us. Her spirit lives on within us.

An end, of course, is also a beginning. Those of us who survive her in the family are reminded of the cyclicality of life on this geothermal speck of dust in the Milky Way galaxy. We're born, we live, we have families, we die, our families hopefully live to continue their own cycles.

This, of course, describes the cycles enjoyed by all living being on this planet, so what makes us so special? Why, that we can blog about it! :-)

The Minute Tech podcast, episode 57, will be a Monday/Tuesday podcast, focusing on the moon and other celestial events. On Sunday I mentioned the Winter Solstice, which occurred at 1:08 am, December 22nd. This whole holiday season revolves, as it were, around the solstice. How does this winter event impact your life? That's probably like asking a skeptic how the Moon affects his or her life...but in reality, all major and minor human cultures celebrate the solstice...so I'm sure it impacts it in some way.

Let me know if it doesn't! :-)

ciao, bella.

10,000 Steps to a Better You

Okay, so the creative juices didn't fully jell this morning...but we're a heckuva a ways along. The show transcript for Show # 55 can be found here. The elipses show the gaps in the transcript...and without a full transcript, I won't record, cause I tend to do too much umming and ahhing through out. I can really well read my writing...and it's sounding more and more natural...I think.

Do you agree? e-mail me to vote yea or nay!

But 10,000 steps? What does that mean?

When you do a daily podcast, what is your goal for number of shows, or is it foolish to even have one? I think the latter....but kind of like saying "shoot for the moon", starting a journey of 10,000 steps is better than saying "oh, well, you know, I guess I'll do it for awhile. If you need to (and I need to) build constraints and constructive edifices into your life and see how quickly things build up. :-)

So, show 55 will be out either tonight or tomorrow. :-) Thanks for listening!
