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 [...]
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 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'.

I miss my illusions sometimes. I create such neat fantasies in my mind, rich, alive, in full color, 3D, or some 4D, even better. I'm liking what I know of 4D. I'm an adept creator, I dream dreams while dreaming. I'm often unsure of which is my 'reality' but that's subjective now, isn't it? I [...]

Or when I endeavor to tune into 'heart' and hear only static, or worse, nothing. I like talking about the elephant in the room. He's there, taking up space, [...]
...before you can change them. I was presented this notion many years ago and am considering it as I ponder with eyes wide open this evening. I am considering how we delude ourselves and often decide to 'not face the music,' (a quite interesting expression). Why would someone NOT want to face the music? Because [...]
I've been short of breath this entire week, I can't get a full breath. I'm strong, healthy and in good shape. Sick people and old ladies usually are the ones short of breath. My friend informed me it was STRESS. And then she followed it up with, 'Stress is the #1 killer in America. [...]
Which is it. What do we do from one day to the next, moment to the next? SUPPORT...I'm all for that, giving it and receiving it. Support to me is giving someone the tools to do what they have the ability to do. We can give it and receive it...Support for efforts in growth, learning [...]
