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 [...]
Where have I been??? Not just Italy...but new places in my mind, my heart....a switch has flipped....oh grateful me. Grateful me! I wrote last week: Dinner at Susan's Villa...with Lulu...creating opportunities! I find myself, thankfully, in the heart of the Umbria region of Italy, in the small town of Sismano.....overlooking a hillside [...]

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 [...]
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. [...]
'To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.' Pema Chodron Well yes. Certainly. And of the nesting birds.... I am a night owl.....I resist sleep as something inside me (when I feel my groove), comes alive at night. Mornings too I enjoy, but not to [...]
