    There is so much talk about happiness today that it seems like anything that makes us happy is good and anything that falls under the ‘unhappiness’ umbrella is bad only to chase the things that create the former and avoid the things that make us feel the latter. Has the pendulum swung [...]

  • Is “patience” a state of mind?

    Simone Riml written by Simone on Saturday, April 2nd, 2011

    I struggle with patience.  Two phrases make me cringe, ‘be patient’ and ‘have faith.’ I don’t know why. Is it because I am immature or childish and I just want what I want now? Does one have patience because they have faith and trust or is patience something that transcends the content of thoughts and better understood in the context of [...]

    Confession: I love the Biggest Looser. I know it totally manipulates our emotions and the product placement/commercials within the show are atrocious. But as I watch their journey’s; the hard work and the personal vulnerabilities and realizations they share with the world, it confirms for me that with access to, an understanding of, and ability to [...]

  • Why meditation doesn’t work

    Simone Riml written by Simone on Friday, October 23rd, 2009

    From The Bible to The Secret  (not that I have put them in the same category) there is a huge breadth and depth of spiritual programs, people and practices teaching us how to live our best lives, be happier, more successful, fulfilled and realized.  Without fail, they mostly all tell us, usually in Chapter One, that we must [...]
