• Atman

    The Atman or Atma (IAST: Ātmā, sanskrit: आत्म‍ ) is a philosophical term used within Hinduism and Vedanta to identify the soul. It is one's true self (hence generally translated into English as 'Self') beyond identification with the phenomenal reality of worldly existence.

    love, hugs and smooshy stuff

    By heather | November 14, 2008

    So here we are, not quite halfway through NaBloPoMo and I’m not out of topics.  (Motiviation maybe, but I’ve got topics.)

    Today’s post was going to be about swearing at work but I think I need to do this one instead.  We’ll save that scintillating topic for next week.

    From Miss, who got it from Red Lotus Mama - let’s spread some happy today:

    Ten Things That Make Me Happy

    1. Alex’s bedtime, when I turn off the light and he curls his body into mine and snuggles and rocks with me.  This is possibly the only time other than when he’s sleeping that he isn’t in constant motion.
    2. Nuk noises, aka Maggie Simpson, with a baby smile around the nuk.
    3. Getting home and into comfy clothes before 5pm.
    4. Mid afternoon naps.  For me.  Although kid naps also make me happy.
    5. Cupcakes.
    6. Savasana.
    7. The ten minutes after a chiropractor visit because it takes about that long for my ridiculously loose joints to slide right back out to where they’re not supposed to be.
    8. Evening conversations with my husband.  Even if it’s about work or the washing machine, it’s the quiet connection that matters.
    9. Kicking ass in a meeting or presentation, especially while wearing pointy ass kicking shoes.
    10. Teaching a really great yoga class where the sequencing works and the energy in the room becomes a tangible, connecting force.
    11. Gorgeous fall days with sun highlighting the leaves, enough of a chill that we can wear sweaters, and time to enjoy it.

    What are yours?
