It's true. I have a new chef at my venue Carl House. His food....oh Lordy....his creations are rocking my culinary world. And I soooo love to be surprised. Tonight, I popped in to see how our event, a gorgeous wedding, was going on. We've certainly served polenta cakes before....but Terrell's were something from an alternate [...]
I try not to judge though I have my preconceptions and certainly prejudices. Or, is it preferences? My mother was the absolute LEAST judgmental person I've yet to meet. She could poke fun at herself though ALWAYS found something to praise in EVERYONE. And, when I had a crisis to face in my life....life IS [...]
This quote graced my inbox this morning.... "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for [...]
Be the change.... Be the change.... Be the change.... [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEvSJlRc9kM&w=480&h=390] Symbols everywhere. Open those precious eyes. It's all here for us. Be the change you want to see! Be the change. Really, all one has to do to transform their life, is remind themselves to think and behave a little bit differently, each day. [...]
'To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.' Pema Chodron Well yes. Certainly. And of the nesting birds.... I am a night owl.....I resist sleep as something inside me (when I feel my groove), comes alive at night. Mornings too I enjoy, but not to [...]
...for all good men and women, to come to the aid of their soul's purpose!! Timing is NEARLY everything, along with a mind, heart and spirit READY to move. And I am ready to move. The drag before the 'boing' has felt like forever to me though after a crisis of sorts (how long has [...]
I am frustrated in this moment. I don't like the feeling of disconnect when I am working in earnest to share a perspective, create a solution when asked, or have a moment of rest......and I am tired. The lists travel into my future like adding machine read outs....one into the next, into the next until [...]
So many roles he's played over the years. He's special. As a backdrop to some evening work earlier this week, I watched 'Sling Blade' with Billy Bob Thornton, (another peach of an actor). Robert Duvall as his father was brilliant. (And Dwight Yokam the perfect manipulative, arrogant, self serving, pushy ass, covering an insecure, misdirected [...]
I am most definitely aware of my deficiencies. I am also becoming more aware of where I am not so deficient, expecting myself to be good at it all less and less. Oooooh, but I'm a task master to my very own soul. Oh Popeye....he am what I am what you are. I'm over half [...]
Not just any dog...one of MY dogs. I've begun posts and abandoned them of late...my groove is shifting as am I. Like plates on the earth, my worlds are overlapping. I can't seem to get enough sleep and am easily distracted, not off my game, but rather, my 'game' is changing. This I know [...]
