The rest of the world can’t know what is means to live in New Orleans especially during Carnival. Last night was Krewe du Vieux followed by Krewe Delusion – it’s the beginning of Mardi Gras for real. Other parents were telling me they don’t bring their kids to this parade past a certain age because of the raunchy satire invoked but as I told Tin later, you missed all the giant pishas (his Croatian word…
My Sunday group met this morning to talk about What is Love? We covered it all including some delicious chocolate vegan pudding with fresh raspberries and strawberries and toasted walnuts and then dining al fresco (finally) with a nice southwestern veggie stew over quinoa. Broad brush: Love of work – finding your right livelihood as the Buddha expressed. When you work at what you are aligned with, the vibrations are positive and light. Love of…
Wow, what a difference a number of hours, a day or two here and there, make to your outlook and perspective. I went from being in a frantic state of whoa I’m going down down down the economic rabbit hole to suddenly doors opening up like Zeus was throwing lightning bolts at them. Really, yesterday was cosmic in its YESNESS and so I’m here to say that love is all around me. Today is Valentine’s…
Hemingway wrote about conflict: Because of Jake’s impotence, Brett throws herself into meaningless affairs with other men. Even though she will not commit to Jake, she will not give up her relationship with him. However, she often brings other men around Jake and tells him of her affairs and before Jake can really say anything about it, she will say something like: “But, oh, Jake, please let’s never talk about it” (Hemingway 247). Yesterday, someone…
I left the house to go meet a friend, she said I’m at the intersection of Abundance and Paris. That’s where I found myself thinking about the abundance vibrations that should be emanating from my soul. I love money and money loves me and I know what to do with money – I buy ingredients to make delicious food, it pays for my wonderful house, I love to share it with people, and money helps…
Plagued by a bout of insomnia, I slept ten hours last night – good hard sleep, the kind where your dreams take you to imaginative places. Last night, I had bought a house and it had three kitchens, but that was only one part of the dream that meandered into many dreams. I woke, groggy from the drug we call REM, and made a cup of coffee with the French Truck decaf hand-delivered to my…
On Wednesday, after a presentation at school on the perils of letting children have gadgets and media and then a coincidentally marketing meeting afterwards, I left thinking I’m going to stop by and see my old friend, Vanessa, who is playing down the street from my house. And so that is why at 9pm, when I’m usually crawling in bed, I stopped into DMACs and listened to Gal Holiday & The Honky Tonk Revue. There,…
You know how I’ve been talking about not letting the thoughts in your head define you – well, what about the screaming crazy woman? Yes, that crazy showed up yesterday after a phone conversation and she yelled at the top of her lungs – I WILL NOT GIVE UP – and she said it with such force and such determination that I whispered “whoa” – and so while we may want to let our thoughts…
My friend posted her Wordless Wednesday filled with beautiful images of vegetables. She makes cooking seem so heartwarmingly wonderful that I envy her ease in living her dream. Her cookbook is soon to be landing at my front door and I cannot wait to try all of the naturally gluten free wonder in it. But today is a day of a different sort – it’s a day to get creative – because I woke again…
