I spoke with a friend who began shaving her hair a few years ago – she’s gorgeous and looks great without hair. She told me, “Rachel, it set me free.” She also said a friend of hers developed alopecia and now shaves her head because her hair never grew back except in patches. “She says she feels free.” I called her husband and asked him if he would clip my hair. He said yes. I…
A rose is a rose by any other name, but what about the thorns? What to do with those pesky pricks that thrive on blood, yours mainly? Well my motto is see ya later alligator. I just finished Constance Adler’s My Bayou and closed the book with a sigh and a feeling of relief. Her story mirrors part of my story, and so therefore, I’m glad those chapters are over. As for the thorns on…
Someone was saying that New Orleans experienced the entry into this new world order with Katrina and the subsequent federal flood. They said that we are going through a consciousness raising era and that here was the entry point. They were able to trace a line all the way to the Occupy Movement. So actually before the Arab Spring, Corporate Spring, CEO Spring, there was the Gulf South Spring. We are ready for what comes…
As much as I love wigs, I’m now investigating the art of the comb over. Who’d have thought my lovely mane would look now more like mange. A friend I spoke with who experienced this in her younger years said that she sympathized as our hair is what makes us feminine – particularly if you were blessed with a great head of hair.
This morning’s walk through City Park: Two swans a nesting One geese a laying A white ibis flying Several blue herons Too many mallards to count The ducks have been mating like crazy!
Tin is at the Waldorf School, which was founded by Rudolph Steiner over 90 years ago to address the needs of a post WWI community, a community that needed to radically reinvent itself. Steiner founded Waldorf – now 1000 schools around the world – as a force for social change. However, he also founded the biodynamic movement as well as an entire philosophy called Anthroposophy. From this philosophy sprang a dynamic and transforming movement that…
I think I inherited a certain disposition from my parents – from my mother, the inability to do what you are told to do, and from my father, being a renegade just because you can. This does not bode well for conforming to other people’s worlds. March 28, 2012 Taurus (4/20-5/20) Having power and having control are two very different things … you do not have to be the one in charge to shape how…
IN the category of this too shall pass, I was contemplating my hair loss today as I got up close and personal with a friend as we were both speaking into a microphone. He said, “I’ve been going like lightning speed for so many years now, I’m just done with it.” Amen I thought and so am I. Not to mention my hair that called it quits as well. I was at a parent teacher…
I ran into a fellow dog walker this morning who told me that health is on the inside. She should know she’s a nurse and had worked for a time in cosmetology. We were catching up – she had gone through a lot of job crap years ago and had been listening to my job crap over the past few years. I told her I am trying to unwind from being wound up and when…
Someone asked me if I had defined my writing goals and I said NO. But I must. I am going to define my writing goals: 1) This blog has no purpose other than to provide a creative outlet for me and perhaps a cautionary tale to readers. 2) I will write a book – but I must visualize that book first. Right now I am visualizing too many books, too many topics, and not enough…
