Random thoughts on random things…
I've mentioned the menagerie of animals I house and lovingly care for in earlier posts. They're, (I think), a rather unique (and most precious) crew. I've raised all but one since they were newborns or teeny babies...bottle feeding some. (Bonnie, my Mama dog, was a stray I took in who in three days graced [...]
It seems that my beautiful event venue, (Carl House), got in the crossfire of some misinterpreted blogging under my own pen, (or rather keyboard). A frightened bride misunderstood my post, (forgive me). I'm a fairly transparent personality, compelled somehow to share the ups and downs and turnarounds in my life, with the hope that I'll [...]
I don’t like small. I’m not attracted to ‘small.’ Small thinking, small efforts, small commitments, small dogs, ferrets or weasels. I feel like a giant around tiny people. I’m not a trinket person and prefer big earrings and bracelets that clank rather than tinkle. (However I was not an endorser of big hair in the [...]
Have you ever considered...that every single thing that ever happened to you in your life, was lined up for your benefit, guiding you with small clues and incidentals meant to spark you on your way....toward your life's purpose. You might think I jest....but haaaardly. Okay, not known as a prophet...however, ole Marilyn might have had [...]
I was drawn to absurdist and existentialist theatre in college. I couldn't completely wrap my arms around it, and that was part of the beauty, some of the fascination for me. I found Beckett's Waiting for Godot intriguing. I didn't understand it with my mind but I did with some other part of me. I [...]
I subscribe to a post that subscribes to the belief that, 'Thoughts become things,' reminding its readers to 'choose the good ones!' www.tut.com I get daily reminders which help me. I like that they are playful, (as I relate to living life in a playful manner), and that the thoughts (to me), are simple, but [...]
I have a mission statement for my life. I took it from the lovely artist, Brian Andreas.He creates stories with drawings he calls 'Story People.' I really like his work. My favorite piece is one called 'Real Reason.' It hangs in a frame above my computer at work. And yes, it's my life's mission statement [...]
A most prophetic page and number for me. A most special time in my life. Turning point rich. 'Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.' T.S. Eliot And when the voices get too loud, and the clammering insistent....walk outside and breathe, preferrably three times in [...]
I've been pondering forgiveness after a lengthy conversation with a peer and good friend. I'm not sure which is more challenging, forgiving ourselves of errors or others where we feel hurt....or asking for forgiveness when we've hurt someone! I do know, however, that forgiveness is key. Two of my favorite quotes regarding forgiveness: Martin Luther [...]
I watch Bing Crosby movies. I love the dancing, the corny songs, the affected acting...I love it all. Cyd Charisse, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers....they rocked. Talk about disciplined artists. They made it look so easy and they had a class about them. I miss 'class.' And class to me doesn't mean dressing up or acting [...]
