Linda and the Amtrak.
November 17, 2008, 1:21 pm
Early this morning on a train bound for nowhere, I was lucky enough to sit next to a beautiful 54 year old woman who had just spent 30 days at a yoga submersion retreat in the Shenandoah Mountains.
We spoke at great length about mind, body and soul- it was refreshing to speak with someone who also believes in choosing happiness, setting intentions, and manifesting our own destiny.
Sometimes all we need is a reminder from someone who is like minded to reinforce what we’ve known all along but lost site of because life can not only be distracting but damn tiring at times.
Thank you Linda for the great conversation, thank you Sara for a wonderful weekend and thank you man upstairs for sitting me next to someone that allowed me to refresh my soul.

Has a silver lining. We go through everything for a reason and it is common knowledge that difficulties build character, but sometimes during our struggle it’s hard to remain optimistic.
I’ve done many difficult things in my life, both physical, mental, fiscal, spiritual, if you can name it I’ve probably danced with it a time or two…maybe even thrice.
Lately I’ve had to remind myself again and again that “this too shall pass” and “the hotter the fire the purer the gold” and be grateful for all the good things in my life and not let my life be determined by what’s causing me terrible pain.
So keep ya’ head up- there is a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter what tunnel your in.

I’m Listening.

The old adage about having two ears and only mouth for a reason has been on my heart lately. So friends, family, readers, acquaintances, Myspace, and Facebook friends, twitter followers etc- if you need an ear I’m listening.
Working on being a good listener

A Little Doting from a Proud Father!

I’M BEAMING with Pride!
Despite moving to a new private school with rules that are more strict, and curriculum that is more difficult my daughter is doing great! Her teachers had nothing but positive things to say- I was smiling the entire night.
She is such a wonderful little girl, she is a person I love being around- she makes me laugh, keeps me on my toes with her quick wit and fresh outlook- she keeps me believing in truth and innocence. I love her so much that sometimes just thinking about her and her life brings me to tears and instills a fear that I never felt about my own life- and while she laughs when she says she’s at a friends house and I ask if there are any weird boys around…I am glad she doesn’t realize yet that I am not kidding…not one bit.
So anyway, talking to Taylor’s teachers made me feel wonderful and reiterated what a wonderful blessing she truly is, and how lucky I am to have her in my life.

Water: Cannot Break, it conforms to the situation at hand.

Living plants are flexible,
In death, they become dry and brittle.
Therefore, stubborn people are disciples of death,
but flexible people are disciples of life. (quote source)

Thank you to all the Men and Women who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms that so many Americans take for granted each and every day.

I could go over the many positives aspects of eating pomegranate; however, I think the photograph speaks for itself.

Even Apple makes mistakes
November 7, 2008, 8:05 pm
I thought it was comical to find a spelling error on Apples website- but with a 24 hour news cycle, rss feeds, and google reader, share it, digg it, delicious and the rest of the applications that let everyone know what everyone else is doing 24/7-365 I don’t expect perfection…
However, I do expect a multi-billion dollar company to utilize spell check before posting content on it’s website.
Check out the vector design application as “Rast” as you can.

Like Peaches and Herb a beautiful combination and contrast.
If you were watching, Obama won- I was amazed and a little jealous at what Senator Obama was able to accomplish in these last 4 years since his speech at Democratic National Convention.
It is inspirational, and has reinvigorated my own belief in myself and the things that I will accomplish in this lifetime.
