I'm at the airport, connected finally to the internet, waaaay early for meeting my sister-in-law in from Germany to visit during her layover, and somehow, (a first), I'm not interested in people watching....as the flood of emails has grown in being out of my office networking for two days. I'm wondering when it all becomes [...]
I was chatting with my pal 2Lu this evening. We were sorting through all manner of events and feelings and goals pronounced from the last few weeks....a time for rich growth for sure. And, on January 15th, Mercury resumes its forward movement, we will experience a solar eclipse, and there will be a new moon….all [...]
This is perhaps one of the most extraordinary 'Living Art' pieces I've ever witnessed. This video shows the winner of Ukraine’s 'Got Talent', Kseniya Simonova, 24 year old creator of a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, [...]
Mike Dooley is a genius and an inspiration. Having created www.tut.com, his view of the world and our Universe to me is right on. His daily 'Tips from the Universe' which come to me each day, are smart, fun, playful, expansive, uplifting and well, very often, 'right on'; I celebrate his creativity and his cause. [...]
There is always a gift, always. When we're seemingly thrown over a cliff or shoved against a wall, there is a gift, (smashed nose too, maybe). I'm thinking this evening about fate and the necessity for (or advantage of), perspective. I've watched, felt really, my mind and my body take grand shifts of perspective and [...]
I spent a time many moons ago in love with Edith Hamilton's book 'Mythology' and during that time I also read lots and lots of Greek plays, many quite droll, the main premise of most stories being, 'man suffers then he dies.' Well, damn if that wasn't a long time ago and our world is [...]
I love calendars and maps and greatly value rituals. I create them for all kinds of events: the start of a business, the moving into a house, marriages for sure, a year of this, a month of that, the death of a pet, a birth, a divorce, the dog gets a bath, my friend gets [...]
I ran across this quote today and it seemed quite timely and thought I'd share. "Your cultivation of love and great compassion should not be left in a state of mere imagination or wish alone; rather, a sense of responsibility, a genuine intention to engage in the task of relieving sentient beings of their sufferings [...]
"The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned. It enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy." - Dietrick Bonhoeffer, German [...]
On my first glorious day off from work in a couple of weeks, (except Christmas day), I made my way to the gym (yes, I'm a fool, on January 2, possibly the busiest day of the year), to work with a trainer to help me regain focus in THAT area of my life. It was [...]
