Note To Self:

Note To Self:

                           Today is the day. NOW is the

 time. A turning

 point. An opportunity. An

open door. A time to say YES.

 To surrender. A time to leave

any and all baggage from the

 past that is weighing you

 down, holding you back,

 BEHIND! Drop it. It is a time

 of forgiveness. NOW is the

only time. A time to look fear

 in the face and say "back up

buddy"! It is my wish for you and me and for our children, to

 walk through this portal to a new life together. A better

 life...a more conscious life. One where we embrace who we are

 and know that in being fully ourselves we will be an integral

 part of the whole. We will be embraced with open hearts by our

community for our unique gifts. We will make our contribution to

 the world. We are never "bad" for working through our "stuff"

 honestly and with integrity, together with our friends and

 loved ones. This process allows our friends and loved ones the

 opportunity to work out their stuff too. Isn't that why we are

 on this planet? To help one another grow? To be each others

 teachers? To love and be loved unconditionally? We must start

 this process Of making PEACE with ourselves and be the model of

 behavior so it becomes the "fashion" of the time, a soon to be

 "classic" that is always in style.. It is a time for having

 courageous conversations. Speaking from the heart. Hearing

 through the heart. Seeing through our heart. And living with

 our masks off. To dance, sing and be joyous. To embrace this

 life with all of it's duality.

We must teach the children that we are capable our a much

GRANDER VISION of the world than we are currently seeing role-

modeled. A world where peace is what's trending on twitter
. 

And good news is the headline story in newspapers and on t.v
.

                                                  Not one full of grotesque, graphic, unapologetic destructive

violence and mayhem! We must DEMAND programming that allows

adults and children alike to lay their heads down at night with

sweet dreams filling your mind instead of fear and darkness.

Or... turn the t.v. off all together. Don't allow your living

rooms to be filled with toxic waste. It's all a lie. A charade

of fear. Believe in a different way. Be brave.

We must DEMAND that television and movies and the evening news

not be filled with fear and violence.

See the good in your fellow man and find the compassion down

                                               deep, to see yourself in his struggles and to realize we are ALL  

IN THIS TOGETHER. Be kind.

                                                                                  Peace, love and light. xo

A Grateful Day

Grateful to be playing with art in my pajama's on a cloudy day in N.C.!!!

A Sip A Smile And A Tune

Spent the evening visiting a friend and dining at a local elderly community with my 10 yr old son! Life there is precious and lived at a slower pace. A smile, hug or handshake can make someone's a day. I tried hard to see the story of someone's life on their worn in face or in their crumpled, or sturdy body posture. It seems the "in" hair style for women is the page boy of all lengths. Mostly white heads...some still use boxed color. The gentlemen pulled out their wives chairs or rolled them with care up to the table. I was surprised to see the amount of couples. I tried to pick my future self out from the ladies seated around the round tables as I sipped on peppermint tea. 

On our way back to my friends room, my son spotted a piano. He has been learning to play for the past 3 years. He sat down and started a Beatles tune. Then Claire de Lune and Beethoven. The crowd grew and folks yelled out the names of the tunes. My son was givin a business card from the activities director. They would love him to come and be the evening entertainment whenever he can fit it in to his schedule. Between homework, play dates, and video games. He was on cloud nine! A great evening. And a solid reminder of what really matters in this world. 

Everyone, slow down, sip your tea and smile at a stranger today. Time fly's... Happy Holidays.
