Mermaids, Fairies, Gnomes, Leprechauns, and unicorns

Frog Princess

I have been finding joy in small ways.  I just finished reading a book titled "The Mermaid Singing" by Lisa Carey. The author beautifully described the very difficult and complicated relationships of three generations of Irish women and their connections to mermaid energy.

Pixie Passed Today, Our 14 1/2 year old Golden Friend

Pixie died peacefully today after an amazing life with our family. She was adopted at age 2 when this photo was taken. She was found after wandering the highways of Florida for several months. She was transferred to a golden adoption center in Pa and we were the lucky ones that brought her home.

Chaos, Change, a groundhog and Maggie Smith

I just saw the movie, The Lady in the Van with Maggie Smith and it was quite good.  I had been looking forward to seeing it since last fall when I saw the first trailer.  It was worth the wait. The movie was a great example of how a crisis and chaos can  happen and how we are forever marked by it.  This is what happened in the movie and certainly what happens in life.  However, we can often control the outcome by holding ourselves as observers and reducing our emotional reactions.

I received a great response to my last blog post titled Beautiful Pain. I would like to take this idea one step further and suggest that Presence opens us up to new enchanting
worlds that we have always wanted to visit.  When we stay in the moment, we open up the doorway to seeing fairies, gnomes and even  more of Nature's beauty.......

What if we can no longer ignore the pain in our bodies. What if our bodies have information for us that we simply need  to know. There is so much over use of prescribed and street drugs because people cannot stand the pain in their bodies. Are you ready to make a radical change?

Rejection Is Our Protection

Hedgehog Wisdom

Our lives  are pretty uncomfortable right now. The weather is getting colder and snowier,  the presidential debates are more strident, lots of folks are sick with a variety of ailments and work for many is unfulfilling. Or perhaps we  thought that some thing special would happen and it doesn't.  We try our best to get out of the discomfort by figuring out things to do differently.

Mr Gandhi said "Be the change that you want to see in the world".  He said that we do not have control over things outside of us only ourselves. If we want to see an amazing world than act amazing.
 John F Kennedy said "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
Maurice Sendak  said "That there must be more to life than having everything".
