caring more....not less. I heard that thought this evening and it made me sit awhile and think. I'm not sure I agree. Caring more?? Caring too much can break your heart. Caring less can surely leave you lonely, yet, to be disengaged separates you from the pain of caring too much which leads to inevitable [...]
Every day, a choice. Every moment, an opportunity. And tomorrow, a new start, if you'll allow that thinking. And you, golden, should you deem it so. I say, go for the gold-en.

Eckhart Tolle is kicking my butt....and I like it. I like to see things with fresh eyes. From his, 'A New Earth'. 'The ego always wants something from other people or situations. There is always a hidden agenda, always a sense of 'not enough yet,' of insufficiency and lack that needs to be filled. It [...]
...or in my case, 'BB-ing'! We all see through different lenses. I've escaped my 3 most pressing issues (and they are not small, to me) for a fortnight. Leaving town a moment with conversations and visits with a friend help to bring a momentary escape and rest to my brain. I'm thankful for that. [...]
The plural of opus, is opera. I just learned that today. I would have thought it was Opi....but what do I know!? One of my favorite films is 'Mr. Holland's Opus'.

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 [...]
I followed the path and it lead me there, it lead me to the crooked path where, I found the things I'd been looking for, I'd searched up and down the shore, I climbed a mountain, twice in fact, I rode down a river and then back, I'd sat with eyes looking at the sky, [...]
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 [...]
