Why did the Caterpillar cross the road?

Baby Love is Back...

With a vengeance.

Madonna Rules...

We can all live by.

~Re-invention isn't the mother of all evils, it's the answer.
~Look beyond the fear, it's not going anywhere.
~Live in the Moment, clothing optional.
~Go for the platinum monkey, why not?
~Demand the truth, then never look back.
~The rules don't apply, create your own.
~All Truth is one, and so am I.
~Take a good look. If you don't like something. I don't care.
~Taboo is to be embraced, and if you're not afraid of needles to be tattooed.



:Madonna sings Academy Award nominated Best Song Sooner or Later from the motion picture Dick Tracy written by Stephen Sondheim:

Are you my twin soul or are you just happy to see me?

it's tricky. when you connect with everyone.

it's tricky. to be open. to be loving.

all the time.

it's trusting.

it is all okay.

and.

trusting has been hard.

but.

life isn't about one brave choice it's about living in the truth.

The Next 100 Days.

"What's the meaning of goodness if there isn't a little badness to overcome."

For the next 100 days I'm going to look squarely at my "bad" ness and make a choice to see it in a new light.

Without a word. Without a sound.
The switch flipped
The thought of change
Never enough
Never arrived
Couldn’t be
Because
I couldn’t see.

For the next 100 days... I'm going to consider the possibility that there is another way.

I won't talk about war, I will feel peace.

I won't talk about what isn't working. I will experience what is.

I won't complain about what people don't do. I will appreciate what they do.

Cura Et Labore Latin motto "with care and work"

I'm going to allow myself to be uplifted.

and. be willing to see change. In a new light.

In what's remembered.

"work is love made visible." Kahlil Gibran.

It's Revolution Time!

Ben Franklin always said -

"well done is better than well said."

now you know.

go forth and do better.

Loud and Proud.

"People's eyes glaze over when I mention my Masters in the Eastern Classics. So I don't bring it up."

I almost couldn't believe I heard it. This person sitting across from me spent countless hours reading, absorbing, and studying.and he chucked it under the bus at the slightest smell of a yawn.

As I see it we have two problems. Those who have the information and are mocked for it and have to experience the "glaze over" when sharing their information. AND. those that care less about knowing information than knowing where to find information.

Concepts and ideas have to be explored to be understood. To be known.

Contribution + Appreciation = Fulfillment

If you know something share it. Wholeheartedly.

It's all about the Dads!

Lighten Your Load.

From the brilliant Sunday in the Park with George --

Stop worrying where you're going-
Move on
If you can know where you're going
You've gone
Just keep moving on

I chose, and my world was shaken-
So what?
The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not
You have to move on

Look at what you want,
Not at where you are,
Not at what you'll be-
Look at all the things you've done for me

Opened up my eyes,
Taught me how to see,
Notice every tree-


Here's Bernadette Peters singing one of her Stephen Sondheim show soul stopper.


:Bernadette Peters sings Move On from Sunday In The Park With George:

Love With Conviction.

Align with a power greater than any on the planet.

a power of creation.

get it together. today.

live in love.

in conviction

in time

for now.

Avoid LLD At All Costs.

Low Level Drama is like a termite eroding the foundation of all we hold dear.

Creeping in quietly and without warning. Dragging us into its corrosive energy.

It can start innocuously with a question "how was the trip to visit his parents?" and spiral dangerously to "I want to stab my mother-in-law in the eye."

You don't have to answer why we fall victim. But fall victim we do. I used to think it was the simple principle of gravity. the constant pull downward of our thoughts.

But the more I keep my radar attune to blip an early warning sound at the onset of an LLD storm. The more I'm able to stay in love, kindness and compassion.

Rising above. Living beyond the storm. And all the happier for it.

Fashion Designer Yves Saint Laurent Has Died.

In the worlds of fashion and style. Yves Saint Laurent lived an extraordinary life.

We celebrate his light.

Viva la Yves!

Do Unto Others...

2008 is a turning point in how we define conflicts. It's a time to create a new space of healing.

Let's open our hearts and propel our actions toward peace on earth. One moment at a time.
