Words and teachings

Arjuna : 'bright' or 'silver'
Believe it or not, for the past 2 weeks, I have been recovering from a rather severe "plant-based" allergy. Fun!
Came on after treating a little burn with a lot of aloe direct from the plant, and tea tree oil for the reaction.  
Family
Healthy
I am looking forward to the rest of this nice quiet break we have 
Keflex (cephalexin) is indicated for the treatment of skin and skin structure infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and/or Streptococcus pyogenesinfections (I had both)!

Letting go!
Making room for More joyously abundant joy

One Great Love (also Elephant Journal article)
Prednisone was prescribed to treat an itchy rash by calming inflammation. However, side effects include weight gain and bone loss (I'm sure that was it and not the copious amounts of SUGAR)
Queen's fancy continues to help Quell the cough and chest congestion along with...

Valerie's Christmas message: In this silent night, there is magic that connects our hearts, a celebration of the light that fills us, of a love that holds us. Step into this night, breathe in the crisp air, snuggle for a moment into the dark mystery and allow peace to pour in and to radiate out with each breath, touching every living thing until it expands eternally illuminating the stars as it shimmers by. This peace, this love, this is the holy gift I share with you. May your holidays be merry and bright.

How to Life an Extraordinary Life, by Stephen Cope - Christmas Eve part 2

Author of The Wisdom of Yoga: A Seeker’s Guide to Extraordinary Living, Stephen Cope
Bob Weisenbergon Jan 2, 2012
Contemporary Commentary on the Bhagavad Gita.
Dedicate your work to something bigger than you are.
First : “Find your Dharma”
Gandhi from the point of view of the Gita
It doesn’t matter if you succeed or if you fail – whether you succeed or fail is none of your business, your job is to bring everything you’ve got to your dharma. 
Just out of curiosity, what translation do you use? Barbara Stoler Miller’s 
Kripalu Institute for Extraordinary Living
“Let go of the outcome ... and ... turn it over to God”.
Music
Now beginning to understand
“Once you’ve got some clarity about your dharma, then the calling is to bring everything you’ve got to it”.
Poetry is saturated with the body is transient and the soul survives
Quest for the True Self
Random House next year.
Surrender without any conditions – without any grasping for outcome – produced his most sublime work
“Turn it over to me”
Understanding what your gifts are and that you have certain responsibilities to your gifts

What gets you excited when you wake up and think about work in the morning?
eXemplar to one of the principles of the Gita.
“Yoga and Mozart”
Zero, as in “Take yourself to zero”

Law Love is huge! :)

Nichol : a new word for me. A rather complicated prism (A rhombohedron) of clear calcite bisected obliquely at a particular angle and subsequently cemented together with a transparent cement of which the refractive index lies between that of calcite for the ordinary ray which is totally reflected at the cement interface and the maximum refractive index of calcite for the extraordinary ray which is alone transmitted, both rays being plane-polarized at right angles to each other
