Where have I been??? Not just Italy...but new places in my mind, my heart....a switch has flipped....oh grateful me. Grateful me! I wrote last week: Dinner at Susan's Villa...with Lulu...creating opportunities! I find myself, thankfully, in the heart of the Umbria region of Italy, in the small town of Sismano.....overlooking a hillside [...]
Rise from the very beliefs, habits, associations, which hold us back from our true desires and potential. Might nature guide us back to the places where we feel most alive? Might sitting with our breath awhile remind us of other places we might arrive within ourselves? I have felt over the last weeks the pull [...]
And sometimes a new hairdo will do it too. And a trip to Italy to just shake things up a bit.
It's been a (relatively) long wait. For many things. This day I'm speaking of the timing for the synergies between my Lulu friend and I, to begin creating together in earnest. We're headed to Italy the end of this month to visit with my friend and other potential allie in all things creative (and business), [...]
I began this week vetching (maybe) about what I perceive as authenticity and struggle. I am working through coaxing the first to emerge within myself organically, (yes, in a culture less accepting of differences) and I'm sitting this morning, (with gorgeous dogwood trees, my favorite, just outside my window), considering the true gifts around what [...]
It's true. I have a new chef at my venue Carl House. His food....oh Lordy....his creations are rocking my culinary world. And I soooo love to be surprised. Tonight, I popped in to see how our event, a gorgeous wedding, was going on. We've certainly served polenta cakes before....but Terrell's were something from an alternate [...]
I try not to judge though I have my preconceptions and certainly prejudices. Or, is it preferences? My mother was the absolute LEAST judgmental person I've yet to meet. She could poke fun at herself though ALWAYS found something to praise in EVERYONE. And, when I had a crisis to face in my life....life IS [...]
This quote graced my inbox this morning.... "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for [...]
Be the change.... Be the change.... Be the change.... [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEvSJlRc9kM&w=480&h=390] Symbols everywhere. Open those precious eyes. It's all here for us. Be the change you want to see! Be the change. Really, all one has to do to transform their life, is remind themselves to think and behave a little bit differently, each day. [...]
'Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level'. Eileen Caddy. We all need reminders, helpmates, support, champions, someone to carry our 'clubs' from time to time. And these 'caddys,' champions...they come in such varied flavors. We need only open our eyes, listen, feel with our [...]
