⁣“We would have met at an airport.”⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ It was romantic, but…⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ It was not what I wanted to hear. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ In the newspaper column, it said, “Susan Jean Myhr will attend Northwestern for Vocal Performance”… I was supposed to. And yet, I said “No”. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I went to that Ivy instead. The place I had no business being—(they were low on the Square State demographic). ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ And there You were.

This is Also Mindfulness

Written by Susan Fritz | Monday, June 27th, 2016 Posted in Blog, Mexico
As a student of yoga and its affiliated friendly studies for some 17 years, it’s been interesting to see the rise of “Mindfulness” lately. Suddenly and simultaneously people are determined to be snapping away on Snapchat (whatever that actually means #Iamagrandma) AND “in the moment”. I totally get it–when the pendulum swings its way too far in one direction, eventually we push it, by force if necessary, in the other. Generally speaking, it’s a good i...

Momentary Purpose

Written by Susan Fritz | Tuesday, June 21st, 2016 Posted in Blog, Mexico, Oregon
I woke up my version of early this morning and did what “They” advise against for good psychological health. I reached for my iPhone, checking the Usual Suspects: the FB, the IG, the Email (EM?)…my bank statement. I’d already woken up with a twinge, but seeing that dang “this happened X years ago” photo increased the twinge to an actual feeling…which threatened to become—not a Capital “C” “Crisis”—but a “life concern” moment. Perhaps you know the one–where you’re certa...

Opportunities Cost

Written by Susan Fritz | Thursday, June 16th, 2016 Posted in Blog, Mexico
I can’t believe I’m going to write about this. I promised I wouldn’t. I am not qualified. I haven’t been paying close attention. For one, I have no TV, no reliable internet to stream anything. I mean, I haven’t even read the USA Today in a hotel lobby lately… Over the years my reaction to tragic events like this has been to disengage from the thing itself further and further. Allow me to explain before you declare me some kind of monster and/or report me to the NSA. We all have our stories of...

Out of Excuses

Written by Susan Fritz | Thursday, June 9th, 2016 Posted in Blog, Mexico, What I Write
I’m the first to confess my adherence to the influence of the Training handed down to me by my country, which happens to be the US of A. Too many words? Agree. I am confessing that, like most humans, I am a product of my environment—which includes the traditions, opinions, attitudes, variety of salad dressings, biases…and on and on…of where I was raised. Now, The US of A is a huge country—these things, of course, vary from sea-to-shining-sea. But let’s be honest (only a slight generalization ...

A Truth About Inconvenience

Written by Susan Fritz | Saturday, May 14th, 2016 Posted in Blog, Mexico, The Way I See It, What I Write
When you’re always looking for the shortcut, you’re bound to get hurt. The way in which thoughts develop, change, and evolve is fascinating. Noteworthy, at least—a window into ourselves we’d be wise to permanently asterisk. Not so long ago I wrote a short post called “La Scorciatoia”, which means “shortcut” in Italian. What I attempted to communicate is rather obvious–so obvious that it’s overlooked in a “Yeah, yeah, I sure…tomorrow I’ll take the long way; I̵...
