Sometimes you just have to speak out..... Letter to the Editor: I’m writing in response to the letter written by Bob Richardson to the editor regarding the house under construction on 16 Homer Street, the house currently with a blue tarp on the roof in Maysville. As a citizen also concerned with assuring that [...]
I am reminded of the Hindu God, Ganesh this evening....the overcomer of obstacles. And Pan, lusty, randy, playfully serious Pan. Really half man half centaur, though I rather like this depiction of him. Both embody aspects I admire, Pan with his fertile nature and ability to beckon a crowd and Ganesh, for his knowing.....he [...]
It might mean your heart changes. Or that you let go of an old way of being. That you finally did what you've been intending for so long but didn't quite know how. Or that God, the Universe, that awesome essence, light, power, jump-started an initiative for you. Or maybe you just decided to stop [...]
...but what you DON'T say that can be harmful. Communication is ticky. (ticky being a new favorite word). I was told by someone once....'communication is the response you get'. I don't know if I entirely agree with that. For instance, I might say to you, 'damn this workshop blows'. You might look at me aghast [...]
I'm considering the importance of details in some matters and then again, not, in others. In my business, you bet, and accountability measures ARE being put into place at every switch and turn. I'm surveying it all, and finding that just like a bolt can become loose on a bicycle, so can the details in [...]
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 midway along this new adventure, a surgery in fact (and as my pal Lulu and I love to say, 'the details don't matter', as often they don't). I traveled to have some eye repair, my first reminiscant surgery when I was 7 years old, then 8. I'm in good care with a doctor I [...]
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 [...]
"The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own." - Benjamin Disraeli And might I (cause he's ringing in my earballs and eyedrums this morning), paraphrase Dr. Jung's sentiment, love being, 'the process of gently guiding someone into themselves'. Noble intent indeed..... [...]
As I continue on this road of self discovery, really, discerning who I do and don't want hanging out in my ether space, I am at the same time cultivating a style for which to screen, negotiate and honor my sensibilities. I've always not only done my best to 'play fair' I have from time [...]
