Well okay....I promised a treatise on love and "would you really want to date yourself,' (see below from earlier last evening). Though suddenly I'm not in the mood. Only enough to say...love lives in the 'big picture' and it need have no definition. It's a vibe which needs no boundaries, just space 'to be,' to [...]
I'm reading a small book with a big message given to me as a gift from my last intern, Erin, who worked with me throughout the spring at Carl House. I am currently busy with the day-to-day at Carl House, affording me the opportunity to work with and mentor the young women who grace our [...]
I love that. Every day. New. An opportunity to do better, enjoy more, to test my compassion, embrace my passion. Or in my case today...just float from moment to moment...no agenda, just free. Needed. Good. And here, a favorite artist of mine...Lovely Nina Simone. She says it so well. Close your eyes and just try [...]
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 [...]
It's true. I try not to get attached to people, animals, situations in my life, feelings, habits, goldfish, oooh, I could go on, but I do. I liked my fish. I know this all sounds quite banal....I mean really, a fish. Come on, I eat fish regularly. The thing is...this fish, Saska was her name, [...]
I relish a GREAT night of sleep but resist going to bed.....always think I'll miss something. There I sit late, late into the night writing, or thinking, or watching some movie which is giving me ideas or just keeping me company, (usually with the sound off), reading perhaps though not a lot lately. I do [...]
To me, we're brought onto the planet to create, to fulfill our individual soul's purpose....AND we ALL have the inherent ability to create on some level. Just my theory. It might be by being the best cupcake maker in your neighborhood, or that you build sky scrapers like Howard Roarke or to manifest epic films [...]
