I opened my business....my Carl House business. Seven years ago there was so much I did not know. Seven years ago I demonstrated 'moving forward as if'....as if I could create whatever my mind imagined, and more. Seven years ago today I was, like today, dreaming up things and seeing what would happen 'or better' [...]
....under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down.... Those words were in my head soon after I awoke this morning. That and the memory that I'd dreamt I tattooed some emblematic design all over my face, a big blotch of blue on the right side, which I was happy I could cover [...]
The Weepies, (I've been on a year long kick with the Weepies) have great lyrics...one being, 'you can't steal happiness', (I believe that to be true, or power unless you let someone TAKE it from you), and I like the thought that: All my troubles are in the rearview mirror! Another Weepie [...]
There would be a big band playing in my ballroom every weekend. There would be all manner of great friends and acquaintances present having a terrific time, lots of seasoned dance partners and I'd be dancing every song until each muscle in my body burst with joy and utter fatigue. I miss Glenn Miller. The [...]
This line of thought came to me today. It's a good thought. Consider your assumptions. I'm looking at mine. We really don't know so many things...why people do what they do, who really is watching over us, loving us, in the seen and unseen, why events in our life occur the way they do. I'm [...]
I have been sleeping a lot during my eye surgery recovery and dreaming. I dream a lot anyway....while awake and especially when asleep. Maurice Sendak's characters are tame compared to what show up on my inner HD widescreen. I've also had time to stop the normal fast spinning ferris wheel of my life for a [...]
I'm off on an adventure for the next little while. I hopped (I did, a hop...in red high heels), into my Blue speed racer car around 5:30 this evening and headed north....after a looooong week of the normal ups, downs and arounds. I felt as though I'd emerged from a tightly knit cocoon! The wheels [...]
(I wrote what is below two days ago.....and tonight I'm laughing at the absurdity of it all).... We are all much more capable of embracing life than we know. I'm a bullet today.....a BB bullet. I am aimed and entirely on target. It had to come eventually. The option of 'losing' is as [...]
Curiously the number of readers of this blog are growing and I'm this morning wondering who you are? Where do you come from, what sparks your fancy? I'm readying for an adventure....in about a week and a half, an adventure different from the day-to-day adventures that fill my life. I'll be going away....it's a secret [...]
Every so often, a person enters your life and makes a boom of a difference. Pat Sullivan was one of those women for me, (I've only had a few) and I will be forever grateful for her presence in my life. At 83 years old she's as full of piss and vinegar as I might [...]
