It is with pause, that I take an observers view of what we believe is sacred.  As an individual, like, yet unlike any other.  As we are slipped into our skin, we are given with our first breath…….LIFE!  We are intrinsically imbued with a mind and a spirit that carries with it an original blueprint we can call our own.  some of which is our mothers, and her ancestry, some of our fathers and his.  Their DNA runs deep throughout our being, which can be prized as “Royal”,... Read more

Our daily lives follow well-worn paths, only occasionally do we deviate outside of our habitual run and experience the world as a whole.  I challenge you to experience something new, awe inspiring and simply breathtaking.  Most lessons can be learned through observing nature in its intricate perfection. Last year a close friend called me all excited about a “LIVE WEBCAM” of two magnificent bald eagles nesting in the Pacific Northwest.  OMG! How incredibly gorgeous!  Whenever I had... Read more

Don’t give up!  It has been a long and arduous year for most, compounded by personal trials and loss that we go through on a daily basis in our lives.  Our minds being overwhelmed, our bodies changing with time and abuse to the point of not recognizing our reflection as it once was as we pass a window, and our spirit  bewildered by how fast it has all gone.  Have I done my best?  Have I fulfilled my purpose?  Have I lived my life with passion?  All difficult, having not realized it was... Read more

Face it, we are a sum total of our past experiences.  Where we grew up, who raised us, did we have siblings, were we poor, middle class, or come from great wealth.  Were we born in some foreign more primitive culture, a suburban community or in a large cosmopolitan city.  No matter, we are in reaction to what we were exposed to, what we were taught by our parents, teachers, race, religion, peers and the cultural time and place in which we have been exposed. Who we are in the moment is defined... Read more

Yes, it is upon us, the short, gray, cold and slippery days of winter, I love them.  Our lives parallel nature, congruent with all its magnificent beauty and stark contrasts, we are the same.  We begin our calendar year in the interior of our homes, close to all that is reflective of our lives and memories.  Nature too has retreated from the naked eye; although, there is much work in progress in her resounding silence.  I too am healing, through quiet introspection, going deeper and getting nourishment... Read more

It is easy to judge, characterize, separate, divide, label and distance ourselves from others.  Different country, far away, out of sight, that’s their problem, they caused it, they’re weak.  Reasons that we allow ourselves to turn a ” blind eye”.  We have become a world of separation due to our inability to put another’s shoes on and walk in their path.  Their path may have traveled entirely different than yours, but God imbued us all with the same range of emotions... Read more

One of my most favorite things in life is a full moon, on a clear cold snow filled landscape.  When you can see the outline to every branch and twig reflected on the snow below.  It’s as if there was even more clarity in this moon lit night, than when the sun is shinning at mid-day.  On this starless night, the moon is bright, bright on a velvet black background.  The bright clear contrast of my own shadow as my companion, with the stillness of night.  I can hear………… A... Read more

We are in a a time where people are soooo caught up in “Reality”.  Or at least, they believe they are.  Reality T.V. has become the rage in our society.  Where we are spellbound by ordinary people, that are put on display in unusually uncomfortable situations.  Most situations taken out of everyday life, from dating and choosing a mate, to decorating.  Then on to the more intense.  Testing ones survival ability on some remote island, or levels of fear (or intelligence, as seems... Read more

Are you up on all your investments? Stocks, bonds and of course real estate. Investments and possessions seem to be what defines our placement in society, and what allows us a sense of freedom in our ability to move about. We are so driven to acquire, protect and insure our investments, that we don’t always get time to enjoy them. Never realizing that there is only one investment that you truly own. That investment is YOU! Your, body, mind and spirit. The one investment that enables you... Read more
