My business venture actually began as a personal blog. I came up with the name EmBodyed Tides, based on two important concepts (also visible on my homepage) :
embody
verb – to be an expression of or give a tangible or visible form to (an idea, quality, or feeling)
tide
noun – the rise and fall of sea levels caused by combined effects and gravitational forces exerted by the Sun, the Moon, and rotation of the Earth
I hope to bestow with these musings on my blog an opportunity to take pause and reflect on such flux. For nothing other than to take pause in our waters, and remember that deep below, we all are anchored in the same foundation.
“ … There was a time in my life, back when I was really little — — Little like me, Mama? Yes, just like you, Sweetie…when I can remember the sounds of your grandmother’s fragrant voice, singing “Gilda’s Song” from The Wizard of Oz. Do you know it? ‘Wake up, wake up, whereeeevvver you are, […]

“As far as the moon is concerned, (s)he is always full.” [Terri Guillemets, an adaptation] I happened upon this quote over the summer, smiling in recognizing its truthfulness and simplicity. A sentiment full of whimsy and wisdom applicable to all creatures. The fluctuations of Earth’s tidal patterns are often emotionally and/or physically felt due to […]

Recently, I chaperoned a field trip to the Philadelphia Zoo with my daughter’s class from daycare. I can’t exactly remember the last time I had attended, and it was her first time there. The morning’s temperature was pleasant, and the children’s’ temperament was of course bubbly. “This is going to be fun!” she exclaimed. I […]

Whatever the case (be it good fortune or modern technological advances that helped generate its lucrative publicity), it’s a good thing, certainly, that it has become more well-known. However, recently it would appear the term has also […]

“Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way we cope with it, is what makes the difference.” Virginia Satir (American pioneer in family therapy.) There are several readings, quotes, and theories about the ideals of living life with less or without any expectation, supporting the idea of […]

Profanity. Love it or hate it, you’ve probably heard it, and I guarantee you most definitely have been using it. No, I’m not talking about the S-word or F-word or any other X-pletive you might have chosen to call out after stubbing your toe, or getting into a heated argument. I am talking about one […]

In today’s world – we are constantly aroused/expended. Think about it: work, family, friends, school. Electronics might have their own category altogether –> phones, computers, tablets, social media overload. The very light emitting from my screen as I type this, is likely interfering with any opportunity I have to wind-down just before bed. We’re always plugged in. […]

Consider this – a beginning. Not the beginning of it all or anything quite that profound, but a ‘beginning’ nonetheless. I’ve blogged before, and I enjoy keeping up with others’ writings, too (a lengthy list indeed). However, I’ve recognized more recently that my previous virtual-exploration was approaching in its own sense, a kind of ‘end.’ Albeit not so final that I withhold the possibility of unleashing […]
