It helps me to have a place to go that feels calm and where I can find my center again. I hope this site will be one of those places, for me and for you.
I hope to offer wisdom that I have collected on my life's journey.
There will be links to other's knowledge, too.
Sanity is a process, of course, as is this page, so check back often to see
what's new. I hope that it will be a source of inspiration to you and that you'll
want to tell your friends about it.
....just Breathe....
I put this here because I believe that the act of breathing is overlooked when we think about our basic needs. If we aren't breathing we aren't alive. (duh...) Often when we are in stress situations, we sort of hold our breath. And, unless we are doing physical exercise, we tend to breathe in shallow mode.
It helps me to have reminders around that direct my attention to some of the
things I too often take for granted.
These will all be links one day but not yet...

* The term "center for sanity" is not mine; I first saw it in Lisa Alther's book, Bedrock. My Center for Sanity concept is a bit different from hers, but based on the same precepts: a drop-in space; a place of welcome to anyone who arrives; a reminder that we are, indeed, living in an insane world; offering a hit or two of sanity to carry away as we strive to find a balance between Joy and Suffering.
I would love to hear from anyone who visits here and welcome suggestions,
ideas, contributions, feedback, stories, backpats, etc.
