    A Walk to Remember: A grandmother completes a 4,400 mile journey across the US Paid Member

    Posted by Rachel on 27 Jan 2011
    This morning several Tricycle staff members waded through un-plowed snow drifts from last night's storm to meet Jeana Moore at the Northwest corner of Central Park. We were greeted by Jeana—wearing her trademark reflective yellow vest—and a dozen friends who were ready to join her on the last 3 miles of her 4,400 mile "Steps To-Marrow" walk from Seattle to New York City. Jeana begin the walk on October 19, 2009 in an effort to register donors to the National Bone Marrow Registry (NBMR). Jeana became involved with the NBMR after her granddaughter, Jada, was born with Leukemia in 2007. Thanks to the NBMR, doctors were able to find a donor match for Jada (the donor joined Jeana on the final leg of the walk today). The bone marrow transplant saved Jada's life. More »

    If you can breathe, you can meditate... Paid Member

    Posted by James Shaheen on 27 Jan 2011
    That's the subtitle of the first chapter of Sharon Salzberg's Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation. Here at Tricycle we've begun the countdown: 5 days until we begin the four-week Meditation Challenge. For details, see yesterday's post. And by way of introduction to Real Happiness, the consummate meditation guide that will serve as our North Star throughout the 28-day meditation period, here's a taste: What is Meditation? Straightforward and simple (but not easy), meditatoin is essentially training our attention so that we can be more aware—not only of our own inner workings but also of what's happening around us in the here and now. Once we see clearly what's going on in the moment, we can then choose whether and how to act on what we're seeing. More »

    A Journey Ends: Jeana Moore arrives in New York Paid Member

    Posted by Sam Mowe on 25 Jan 2011
    Jeana Moore has walked across America. Why? As an expression of gratitude to all those who helped her granddaughter, Jada Bascom, to survive and thrive after being born with acute myeloid leukemia. Jada and Jeana were featured in the Winter 2010 issue of Tricycle—read more about them here. For those in the New York area who would like to help celebrate Jeana's accomplishment and all of her hard work registering people for the National Marrow Donor Program’s “Be The Match Registry,” there will be a gathering at the northwest corner of Central Park at 10:30 a.m., Thursday, January 27. The congregated will join Jeana for a walk through the park—the last leg of her journey—and the walk will be followed by a marrow donor drive at Park Central Hotel from noon until 3:00 p.m. Some of the Tricycle team will be in attendance and we would love to see you there.   More »

    Contemplate the Causes and Conditions that Led to Your Birth and Will Lead to Your Death Paid Member

    Posted by Sam Mowe on 13 Jan 2011
    Sugarcoating it will do you no good: everyone you know someday will die. The best that we can hope for is to be prepared for the moment of death, as thoroughly as we can, whenever it comes.
