Friday Tunes — “What’s Going On”

November 9th, 2012
Posted By:

It’s been an emotional week with Election Day happening on Tuesday and all of its rollercoaster effects still going on.  I know I am getting older because I stayed up until 2 am on Tuesday night to watch the election results and most of the candidate speeches and I am still recovering from it.  It’s sad but true!

How are you fairing?

So I thought it would be fun to end the week with some soulful music because listening to tunes always feeds the soul and heals the heart.

This is an oldie, a flash from the past as they … Read More

Peace Is The Way

PEACE IS THE WAY By Alan Nordstrom “There is no way to peace; peace is the way,” Wise Gandhi said, by which I think he meant We have to be that which we seek, and play The role we would become with clear intent. For as I think and act so shall I be, And so the world around me shall become: If violently, then war shall vanquish me; If lovingly, then peace shall still the drum. It’s in our hands and hearts and minds to choose The manner we live by, day after day: Shall it be marching boots… Read More

Your Invaluable Health

You are very lucky if you are in good health. I don’t take my current good health for granted.  Ever.  For I think that having good health gives you freedom of choice and the ability to live your life a certain way.  Good health is invaluable and one could easily think that it is permanent…until you don’t have it anymore. When you take care of your body you feel happier, healthier and empowered.  Everything you eat has a direct impact on your body, mind and spirit.  I know no one wants to believe that but it’s true.  I found out… Read More

Grounded To The Ground

Staying Grounded Have you seen that television commercial where the couple is test driving a new car in the desert and then later someone off camera asks them why they liked it? The man says something about wheel rims on the tires and the way the car felt when he was driving it and then the woman says more good stuff about the car and ends the commercial by saying it felt “grounded to the ground.”  The guy off camera can’t believe she has expressed herself this way and he repeats “grounded to the ground” as though it were a… Read More

I’m Sorry

Apologizing strengthens friendships I recently received a card in the mail and I recognized the handwriting right away so I knew before I opened the envelope who the card was from. What I didn’t know was why the card was being sent to me since it wasn’t my birthday and I hadn’t won the lottery so I knew it wasn’t mailed to congratulate me on anything that had happened in my life. I opened the card and read the handwritten words and was surprised and touched!  The card was an apology for something that had happened between us many years… Read More

A June Morning

Memories Look At Me By Tomas Transtromer A June morning, too soon to wake, too late to fall asleep again. I must go out — the greenery is dense with memories, they follow me with their gaze. They can’t be seen, they merge completely into the background, true chameleons. They are so close that I can hear them breathe though the birdsong is deafening.… Read More

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda

February 17th, 2012
Posted By:

We’ve all played the game of “woulda, shoulda, coulda” and no one ever wins. If you weren’t with your loved one when their death occurred, you might be thinking about all of the things that would be different if you had been there.  You’re thinking about how your present life might be very different if you had been with your loved one at their time of death. You might even think you could have prevented it from happening.  “I could have done more” “If only I had gone for a visit earlier/later in the day,” “I should have stayed with… Read More
