It bares...bears....beeeairs...... repeating.... 'The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders [...]
We're all quick to judge, certainly at times. I find myself tucked under a blanket this cool, LOVELY May morning...listening to the sounds in my back forest, activity under cover of green, always exciting, fresh, new, settling to me. I yesterday worked with my favorite healer/massage therapist, Janice Davy. Her combination of disciplines ALWAYS leaves [...]
Rise from the very beliefs, habits, associations, which hold us back from our true desires and potential. Might nature guide us back to the places where we feel most alive? Might sitting with our breath awhile remind us of other places we might arrive within ourselves? I have felt over the last weeks the pull [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Not just any dog...one of MY dogs. I've begun posts and abandoned them of late...my groove is shifting as am I. Like plates on the earth, my worlds are overlapping. I can't seem to get enough sleep and am easily distracted, not off my game, but rather, my 'game' is changing. This I know [...]
I had a young man working in my organization not so long ago. A tall, good looking, sweet and capable young man. He was caught drinking Carl House alcohol on the job. I had to let him go. In letting him go, I offered that I would not abandon him, but rather walk alongside him [...]
