I start my day off with a cup of fresh brewed coffee.....I love the smell, the taste, the heat, the ritual and how the pot makes that inviting gurgle sound I know so well, the memories it evokes...all summoning me to this magnificent pleasure. I'm picky about my beans, the 'cream' I use, that it's [...]
I'm inspired by brilliance, creativity, talent, heart, openness, honesty.... which often takes uncanny courage....the kind where you REALLY take a look in the mirror, where you work to love yourself despite all the silly stuff you might have done in the past. I'm also inspired by people's willingness to shift, turn, grown and love despite [...]
I took a long awaited spin outside my surrounds this past Friday. Welcomed indeed. Hopping gleefully into my ready jeep, eager to hit the road, I felt giddy with excitement to take a break from what has felt like a very, very long winter, fall, summer and spring of last year. In fact, I was [...]
There is not much to say but..... I hold you softly in the palm of my hand. And I send you love. Good cheer. Peace within your heart. And fun...joy, a measure of intrigue. Because....just because. And, thank you for trusting me. And thank you for honoring my trust in you. All is well. BB [...]
Alan Rickman's portrayal of Colonel Brandon in Jane Austin's 'Sense and Sensibility' is legendary. His absolute affection and devotion to young and naive Marianne, (played by Kate Winslet), is heart wrenching, especially as he watches her waste her attention with the dashing and unworthy Willoughby. And then Daniel Day Lewis, good Lord he's the epitome [...]
When I was 11 and 12, (ugh....with absolutely NO breasts, skinny as a green bean), in preparation for school, my OH so patient mother would painstakingly help put hot curlers in my hair to make it bounce, as otherwise my very curly hair would have a plan of it's own and rebel conformity, (as if [...]
I'm thinking about how different something, an object, person, story or experience can look when you move around it to a slightly different angle. Black can become white or well, really any shade under the sun. I've been seeing a few things from a different view lately and as I do....holy cow....a new day [...]
I'm sitting with a mystery. It's a serious one to me. I've traveled with some interesting teachers my spell here on the planet. I've seen smarts, compassion, passion, diverse talent galore, ego and heart mixed in interesting combinations with all these teachers. I pick and choose from what I see. I try not to expect [...]
I love remembering what I know. When I pray, and I do, in my fashion, usually with sweet smelling things in my periphery....I ask whomever, (and I speak with a host of influencers), 'please help me remember what I already know which will serve me, and who I am here to serve, today, please'. Yes, [...]
Earlier this week, I could tell when I woke one morning with my lower back cracked in two, (symbol: support...maybe...perception is everything), that I was in for one hell of a time. Literally, I could not stand. I don't remember such excrutiating pain. I was doubled over making me weary from the lack of [...]
