Struggle, Defining and Redefined…

2011-04-08T08:51:29-06:00By |Challenge|

I began this week vetching (maybe) about what I perceive as authenticity and struggle. I am working through coaxing the first to emerge within myself organically, (yes, in a culture less accepting of differences) and I'm sitting this morning, (with gorgeous dogwood trees, my favorite, just outside my window), considering the true gifts around what [...]

Terrell Rocks…and ooooh the taste of heaven!

2011-04-02T00:02:31-06:00By |Passion|

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 [...]

Pre-conception Kills

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 [...]

Finding My Twirl…..oh Grateful Me!

2011-03-27T11:09:20-06:00By |Gratitude|

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 [...]

Worth repeating.

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. [...]

We all need a ‘Caddy’

2011-03-24T10:25:05-06:00By |Uncategorized|

'Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level'. Eileen Caddy. We all need reminders, helpmates, support, champions, someone to carry our 'clubs' from time to time. And these 'caddys,' champions...they come in such varied flavors. We need only open our eyes, listen, feel with our [...]

Communication is the Response You Get

2011-03-19T12:14:55-06:00By |Reflection|

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 [...]

And the world turns.

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 [...]
