A friend
across the world—asked what am I doing nowadays; I seem to be maintaining a very
low profile. I am not aggressive the way I used to be a few years ago. Wondered
if I’m depressed. Please share. Well, it’s very difficult times; but I know
that I am strong enough to get through these current rough patches—through my
experiences and may share those stories later in the year. I hope.
What a
nice word … hope. Hanging onto it for sure.
So,
looking back to the last half year, a review: I don’t know how it happened but
thought by leaving New York, it would be less expensive. Not quite. LA beat out
NY for the #1 spot this year—Most expensive US city now to live in & most
polluted—winner for the last 9 years. Just knew things were going downhill in
my country when I started seeing Bentleys’, Rolls Royces', & Limos pulling
up to my local Dollar Store; even saw the new host of The Tonight Show, Conan
O’Brien arriving there with fans one sunny afternoon (well, it was a comedy
bit…).
Keeping cool on a very hot day…holding my breaths in a crappy
economy.
I
adopted a Vegan Diet or let’s just say—gave up meat for good. Told that I
became anemic. Ate more nuts. Went nuts! Learned more of my family health
history; told that I have high blood sugar. Just speechless: So I started
eating a little better or closest to the natural state, became more aware of my
little everyday habits. Ate more nuts again! If you have any health secrets,
please share.
I
joined the Screen Actors Guild; need to get an agent who just might like me …
just may believe in me; but first I got to believe in myself.
Became a
Member of California State Parks Foundation and National Association for Poetry
Therapy. Spent my 38th Birthday with my long love on top of Mt.
Wilson, overlooking all of Los Angeles. And after 20 years of renting here and
there, we planted a seed of thought for making this town our home—we just need
a place to plant some roots.
Still wondering if I am somebody yet or just a number…....
....
Saved a
Life. And discovered a new life inside of me; found a strong desire to visit what’s
outside of me—sacred places.
Forgave
more than I ever had.
Experienced more California Earthquakes above 4.0. Felt
more pain; Felt more joy! Solid as a rock: Gained a few love pounds & lost
it always by morning. Gained it back always by night: Always the same. Told I’m
normal, like in everyway; but not real sure about that…!
....
Received
more messages in dreams. Paid more attention to WAKE-UP calls: Started Juicing.
Picked back up daily Meditation & Yoga to keep life in balance. Feel like I
should be doing something more and probably will…anything on the lines which
favors a minimalist style—healthy, creative, and green. That's me!....
…Discovered
how highly adaptable that I’ve been in Destructive or Breakdown Phases. Woo-hoo!....
Saw a lot
of ladybugs, hummingbirds, and butterflies—made up for breaking the hand held
mirror. Said the hell to Superstitions!
Had a few
family members and friends get real scary sick; some even passed away
(including my aunt of Alzheimer’s and my uncle of Diabetes). Obtained Health
Insurance after having a few years without; started preventive medicine.
Branched out more into new areas of exploration like Natural Health,
Psychology, Therapy, and interesting subjects such as Shamanic Studies and Kabalistic
Astrology.
Took
amazing mental pictures … and photographic pictures of anything—which caught my
eye ... happiness all around me sometimes...
Oh, yeah,
paid more in water and trash. Everything seems to be going up and up and up
nowadays … More and More of America … And what a wonderful Fourth of July
weekend hearing the great news that the Statue of Liberty crown REOPENS for the
first time after the September 11th attacks.
It was
always a dream of mine—to go to the top inside Lady Liberty’s head; but it
never came to be. Now, the plans are finally set for this month; I hope that
nothing unexpected occurs, like sometimes it naturally does. I can’t wait to write about that experience—which I
have waited a lifetime for; next time around…
Meantime, I hope you and yours
have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend. God bless this country and our
troops.

Spent SOS Weekend at Point Mugu: Fan Photo from California State Parks Foundation. The closing up to 220 state parks in an effort to cut California's $24.3 billion deficit--inspired me to create this video: A future vision--a heartfelt story between a father and his son--if 80% of the California State Parks were to close.
Video created on Save Our Parks Weekend, 1st Day of Summer, Father's Day. Images shown in video are taken in some of my favorite California State Parks.
Stop the California State Park Closures - Take action ...! ...

There's more to the pictureThan meets the eye...
-Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Today, I
feel the desire to explore the unconscious. Staring into the deep last
night must have triggered these feelings; a person may have as well, whom I
will keep the name private and serves as a symbol in today’s thoughts.
....
In our
progress to meeting our life’s goals or things we wish to do, sometimes, we
have no choice (say something unexpectedly occurs), and we finally stop what
we’re doing, coming into something we are longing for
more—a long loving embrace. Showing affection, deep love for one another gives
some comfort and protection to the rest of our life’s journey.
....
Home is
where the heart is and not all the time it brings great happiness; especially
when you don’t where your home really is. Sadness, grieving, and mourning can
come at any time there.
....
Someone
brought up the other day—the term: vulnerability. What makes you feel that way? I could
think of a lot, like seeing blood on the ground in my dream of life: someone
hurt, crying out for help or someone who has passed—strongly connected to me.
....
Recently, I
was told a few things regarding even my health. Sometimes, you think that you
are doing all the right things regarding that; but you maybe surprised after a
few tests. Find yourself preparing a whole new plan or recipe—approach to life
to sustain you. And, even though, you may inherit certain genes in which you
may not want or wish to have, it also includes inherited strengths of your
character. Something to think about.
....
Taking time
to nourish the self: I realize that this blood—which I saw in my latest dream,
precedes the change. It is a carrier of the spirit. The genes I carry ... so many
untold generations of human experience—the pain, tragedy, and wonder ... is the
collective human experience. A good friend had once told me that—Shamans,
healers, artists, seers, sensitive people in general often go through states of
melancholy. He, himself, often goes through a sad time just before he
experiences a spiritual revelation or new plateau. He said further to me that
after a while I may begin to see a pattern between a sad time and then a flash
of inspiration sometime thereafter. Like, "Hey something's about to
emerge..."; Then perhaps I will welcome it and know there is a better
outcome. For him, it was the dream and dreams of his father...his soul partner and child, which preceded the
news that he was going to have a very special son to walk in his
footsteps—delivered by a Powerful Spirit.
....
But, it is
true what he said about the way birds gather before a storm. The way there is
always pain before birth; even a seed must burst before it brings forth life.
And like my past dreams waiting for the sun, things are always darkest before
dawn.
....
Linking
today’s unconscious forces and subpersonalities within … doorway into a subtle
world: Last night,
was the first night, I dreamt of my aunt who passed of Alzheimer’s. She looked
so beautiful and alert, fully aware of what’s going on around us (sat by two of
my relatives in the living space) and revealed to me quickly a message before I
passed into somewhere else.
....
There’s so
much hard labor required to achieve goals and it’s not so easy all the time to
protect yourself emotionally or what I’ve learned so far; you can feel so
exhausted, beaten to the ground, due to those external pressures or perhaps, by
your own ego.
....
So much
potential not currently expressed--I even see in me.
....
Not all of
us preserve our ideas or energy to access later in the other life we’ve chosen
or choosing. Storing up some plans: I don’t need to ask in times of trouble
from people who I have helped in the past or are not giving. Giving should come
from the heart and sometimes, those gifts are right there in front of your very
own eyes. Like yesterday, I woke up like THUNDER, felt like I was struck by LIGHTENING
… by a dream of a Man with a white painted face, holding a spear or a fire
stick painted in white. I believe the white war paint represented
Medicine—expressing a personal battle coming through; wisdom coming to life
thru a major event, which is altering my perception … in seeing more of the
truths.
....
So being
grateful for this observation today.
....
Last night,
also, I dreamt of the King cobra—hiding (this is the second half of last
night’s dream). I read somewhere that the Ancient Egyptians believe that it
symbolized power over life and death. Probably why peace hasn’t been so
attainable overall, so far in this world. Peace comes within. How many of us
overall are getting in touch with our true beings?
....
And, like
that King hiding—the ultimate solution to all our problems are not all there
waiting to be discovered. I see many layers of illusion in this world and our
spirits may not be easily seen through this many-layered veil. At night usually
… and I don’t know why but I am more able to reflect and come to know the true
nature of my being.
....
Exploring
only deeper within tonight … I’ll enjoy another good cup of Yerbe Mate from the
South American Atlantic Rainforests. A few of my good friends joke around with
me--and what that stuff does to the brain! It’s like I’m on drugs; give me a
cup or two! If anything, I really believe it helps—staying focused and clear.
....
Each of us
carries a legacy of needed talents that will support the growth and expansion
of whom we see as our family here on earth and beyond. Sometimes, your greatest
gifts are called on in times of need and maybe, not just for one person. It is
Good Medicine for the soul when we assist and share our talents and abilities.
As others prosper with us, we can gain a greater sense of self-worth that is not
ego-based.
....
So, on that
note, I will listen to my dreams of self-expression. Use love over fear (as in
“unfinished business” by James Van Praagh): Use my creativity in order to fully
express my feelings, talents, desires. I’ve found
when we express ourselves freely and openly, who and what we are, at any given
moment is healing, as well as being productive.
....
As I
have changed and grown in my life (and I still am doing just that); I’m sure my
perception of others—and how others perceive even me has changed … as I am
changing my appearance, my attitudes, my activities to match a new me;
especially, a new one which is called upon. How easy we can deny our true
feelings … our thoughts … our offerings … we can never lose face by presenting
our TRUE SELF, allowing the Medicine to emerge.

My friend at Linked
In – Bhavani Shanker wrote a poem 5 years ago called Frozen Tears: Almost as
if his heart writings froze itself in time and he wrote no further for the
whole world to see. Sometimes, you can
capture a moment in time, when time is truly magical. It's a place where you
find yourself to be so alive, so much in love, forgetting about the world
around you, only what’s inside of you... Makes you stop and
think along your journey and enjoy the moments, even when you are alone. So, when
the sun smiles at you today, smile back. Maybe, together, we can melt some of these
tears ... and just gazing at the ocean, I can see for miles and miles and miles--human compassion has been going on for years and years and years....
Please enjoy and share your thoughts...
"FROZEN
TEARS"
FROZEN TEARS
THE PENDULUM
OF DIRE STRAITS HITS MY HEART
AND BREAKS THE
RHYTHM AND RITUAL WHERE
"UR NAME
ECHOES INSIDE ME AND THEN MY HEART BEATS"
I WALK BACK,
INTO MY MIND FIELDS
I FOLLOW THE
NARROW PATH LEADING TO THE RIVER SIDE, WHERE
MY EVERY
BREATH ON UR DEDICATION ARE HUNG AS FRESH LEAVES ON THE TREE
AND THE
BREATHS LEFT YESTERDAY AND THE PAST ARE
DRY LEAVES
COVERING THE GROUND
I KNOW ONE DAY
U WILL WALK ON THEM.
I WONDER WHY I CAN'T REALLY
LOOK AT YOU, U
ARE MUCH TOO BEAUTIFUL
NOW I CAN LOOK
AT U AS ONE LOOKS AT YOU
AS A RIVER
WHICH AS FOUND ITS OWN BED.
EACH OF IT
TURNS, EACH OF IT AS FISH
EACH OF IT AS
SUNSET BETWEEN THE BLUE SNOW CAPPED MOUNTANS WHICH ARE MINE AND MINE ALONE.
NOW I CAN
MIRROR MY SELF IN UR CALM FLOWING WATERS
WHICH IS
FROZEN NOW ALONG WITH FALLEN PETALS OF FLOWER, THE BARGES AND THE DESERTED
MINING TOWNS
WHERE THE
LOVERS GET DRUNK AND
DROWN
THEMSELVES IN UR MOON SHINE
AND ARE WASHED
UPON THE BANK
IN THE DISTANT
COUNTRIES WHEN
WE MEET IN OUR
DREAMS.
AS I WALK BACK
MY EVERY
BREATH ON UR DEDICATION ARE HUNG AS FRESH LEAVES ON THE TREE
AND THE BREATHS
LEFT YESTERDAY AND THE PAST ARE
DRY LEAVES
COVERING THE GROUND
I KNOW ONE DAY
ULL WALK ON THE DRY LEAVES TO DROWN URSELF IN THIS RIVER OF MY FROZEN TEARS!

Going Green for me really began as a kid. Sure I may no longer have that backyard garden but I have little plants, which offer up the same beauty and wonder. I can’t explain that feeling: Planting a seed, nurturing it, and seeing it grow. It’s magical.I may not have experienced the birth of a baby yet; but I have my own at one time and since I naturally don’t remember it, I have experienced birth all over again this spring in my heart and soul, where the natural world meets the spiritual world. And, if I were to have a child, I would encourage that exact same relationship that I had and still have to the Earth. I’ve benefited from getting away from the TV. I still do admire the sunrises and sunsets, going to the ocean, the parks, enjoying the four seasons. ...
So, meditating this Earth Day weekend and on sustaining my wholeness, I was blessed to be off to a great start in life; I ate natural foods already from youth. I still enjoy going to farmer’s markets and markets—which offer up whole or natural foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables (the closer to the natural state, the better). Oh, and I still love going to second hand stores and yard sales. I guess some things will never change. It’s amazing the stuff and deals you’ll find.The only bad thing about choices in life or living the modern single life, it can take away from enjoying moments in nature better or eating real food together as a family unit at a table (one of the disadvantages to being a single urbanite in my opinion). However, I get by in the meantime—thinking this is one big family ... my circle of family and friends around the world; here with me in spirit.So, opening up my mind more, I’m beginning to build back my bookshelf that I had from NYC. I’d admit most of the books so far are philosophy, art, poetry, travel, spiritual, and film related. I will have to get into buying books on our environment soon (and every time you read, write, publish, or buy a book, you can go online to www.EcoLibris.net and donate a dollar; a site I just found today—it's a “novel” approach to help save the environment). I did grow up with stories set in the deep forest or in some beautiful landscape, like those German fairytales, the ones with a good moral attached to the end. Why I must love the nature of storytelling itself. One day, I would love to tell the story of my mother’s birthplace, the medieval town of Bad Neustadt. There's a beautiful true love story about her town shaped as a heart. (According to romantic legend, Charlemagne, who founded Bad Neustadt, presented the town as a gift for his beloved wife.)I love to hear the passion ... I love to listen to the sounds of nature ... my heartbeat, precious moments … dreams and the rain falling. I’ve learned to love rainy and cloudy days, from living in the doldrums back in Pittsburgh. And the older I became in life, the more I was drawn to the cities near the ocean. And the more I was drawn to the places where the sun shined more often than my hometown. A nice balance for me......
And I don’t know how many pieces since youth, I created from scrapes and trash; recyclable art started for me already back in the late 1970s-1980s. I lost track at how many walks in nature I took where I would pick stuff up, like a branch, a leaf, a shell, a rock ... I especially love walking with others. I love good conversations face to face. Nice to see someone’s eyes glow … or even in an animal’s eyes; I still feed the animals today—fresh breadcrumbs. My mom taught me that from day one. I spent so much time lately thinking and reasoning through the Internet that I almost forgot what it was like to be a kid again, acting silly … dancing, singing … Not good to keep a lot of things inside.
...
Feeling free and breathing in fresh air is one of the best things. Just let life happen.
Everything in nature they say has a purpose, a place, and a face, from our childhood to now.
We all have a place in this world.

I’m up late. One of those sleepless nights, waiting to slip into dream world with my deep thoughts.
Looking out my window, I see dark clear skies ... Which begs the question since I’m in the mood:
Have you ever dreamed of something into reality?
I’m sure most of you at one time or another—in some form or way, without even realizing. Well, I won’t bore you with the details but something like this has happened to my loved ones and me recently...
In last night’s dream, I glanced down on a wooden table; saw on the top—several film scripts. Within seconds, a few actresses came and took the copies. I was the only one still standing in this room (may have been a study or library). Suddenly, I noticed one script left. I recall seeing an image of “The Snow Lion Goddess” before I woke.
As it turns out, my long time friend sent me an e-mail to look up Snow Lions Yoga under symbolism. He says that it’s similar to the Tibetan Flag. Now, he didn’t know about my current dream. He was familiar with my other dreams: One on the white horse, one on two lions ... said that someone told him that 2008 is/was symbolized by two lions. It has to do with "opening the gate" for energies that are to come around 2012.
Of course, it is just an interpretation; but I don’t know how quite to say what happened next…
My mother called to tell me of her dream. I was sort of taken back by it because she wanted me to chill on the dreams—recording or trying to decipher them. Of course, she was just in a bad mood. (This resulted when I told her that in one of my dreams—I was scraping out a burnt pot and I did in reality 3 days later. She didn’t get so ‘weirded out’ by that dream because stuff like that can happen regardless…). But she did suddenly with this recent one of the Snow Lion Goddess. Why? She also had a dream about the snow lion—which I will hold the key to her dream to make sense of the latter.
Deeper down the rabbit’s hole, we go…
My oldest sister, Liane, had called days ago. She asked me if I had received “Water Melodies” DVD (...was worried because I've been having trouble getting my mail recently. Stolen or lost still: a few past birthday gifts…).
The answer to that package was—yes. She then tells me her favorite scene on that DVD is one of the swans.
"Water Melodies" -- a DVD a musical experience with water scenes...
Swans to her bring her love and joy. I’m sure to most everyone; but she is obsessed with these birds. Recalling, clear back to the 90s, she started her swan collection. And during the course of our conversation, she kept talking about swans ... swans, swans, swans. I asked her when was the last time she had seen one. She said that it’s been so long. Well, sometimes, a simple wish for someone can and does come true.
My sister’s swan dream came days later into reality, this past Friday. I’m serious. Her and her husband spotted a beautiful white swan by their mailbox—seen through their house window. The swan stood about four hours and magically disappeared. Never returned again to my knowledge.
I asked her if this was common, swans visiting or coming to her property? She said, “No. This is the first time…” To which I replied, “It’s almost as if you dreamed this beautiful big white swan into reality…” And she said softly, ‘…yes.” There was a moment of silence between us…
So, does one close the door to something like this?
When I was at SAG last week, joining the most distinguished performers union in the world finally I might add!—a big black crow flew over my head and landed on the metal railing. Pierced me in the eye and then flew away.
I could just forget about that nature connection—I made within a few short seconds or ponder if the bird sent me a message, like the swan sent a message to my sister or the snow lion that sent one to my mom in her dream. Although, I hope that a lion for real doesn’t cross my mother’s path!
I know guides cross our path all the time; it may have something to do with the natural, infinite, and/or spiritual world. It may not. Who am I really to know?
Our minds are just really amazing. Maybe, tonight when I dream, I’ll go play the pinball machine for kicks. Learn to practice more patience and control precision. There are many things in life that can look risky at first; but I believe they can be tacked down—in a patient manner. And as far as my age and physical appearance in the biz, having turned 38 and not a perfect Hollywood size 0 or even 2 or 4! ... I’ll just adopt Sophie Loren’s attitude, “My secret to looking young? I always have one more dream that has yet to come true. I am always looking forward to something.”

Back in November of 2008, a fellow writer [ Ajay Zaveri @ Entropy ] e-mailed me an article from the New York Times. The Title: Seeking a Poet for the Great Mess of ’08. At first, I was too upset to dream up or even desire to write poetically about this sort of disaster all of us were facing, knowing what has happened beyond what we know, what we see, and what may come as a result. However, as the weeks grew on and my migraines seem to disappear along with the California wildfires and Thanksgiving Day holiday rain, I finally sat down and wrote a piece from my heart—a freeverse called “Valley Heart”. Needless to say, did I know at that same time—a wonderful artist (Broadway actor & singer) and prolific poet, George Best Costacos passed away ... I met the artist years ago at the Whitney Museum of Modern Art and soon discovered what a great inspiration he was to many around the world .. It was uplifting to hear that the ACTORS’ EQUITY were to host his Memorial in NYC and honor his life. I recall the last thing he said to me ... commenting by e-mail on one of my blogs ( Remembering 9/11 ):
"Hello from Greece, where I've been a week now. Even this far away your words about 9/11 ring so very true and deep. May we never live another day like that. Best, G..."
Strange ... this thing called life ... why we must live in the moments.
So, to give a glimpse of my poetic inspiration in the simplest form: Last September, I visited an amazing place called Valley of Fire, Nevada’s first state park. Some of you may already know of it for it lies just outside of Las Vegas. To continue, the ancient Natives passed on stories about this place—one particular: centuries old rocks are said to speak to you. I almost didn’t believe it until the very end of my stay: I approached a section of the park named Fire Valley (by Silica’s Dome). I stood between the canyons in strong crossing winds and opened my heart and soul, let everything in—without fear or reservation: I listened to the wind. Let it run through me and with me until the rocks spoke to me or so I thought. Or maybe, it was A Consuming Fire (The Creator, Father of Spirits, God of Peace) ...The One who most of us pray to—who spoke through me, and in honor of good men and women who we have cherished, who have passed on before us, and who have shown us all how to maintain a positive view of life and focus on what is joyous.
And, isn’t that what a country should be all about in depressing times?

It’s a Good Morning. I woke up to 55 degrees--to 38 years old. Instead of coming up roses, it’s coming up … birds.
My oldest sister on the east coast called: She said that she was surfing the net for artwork of swans. Came across the artist John James Audubon. I said ... funny you should mention his name, I wrote a blog with Audubon in mind: Reality Check (told her of the amazing story how he recovered in a failing economy by following his bliss). Strange part of it all, she received an Audubon clock—out of the blue—by her Aunt Rose. Every hour, a new birds pops out of the window and tweets. I wonder what bird is coming out now? It’s 8:00 AM and the sun is shining.
And why does the name Audubon or birds keep popping up this past week? Could it be spring is in the air?
I recall visiting my relatives abroad, and stopped every now and then to see the neighborhood’s Bird Lady, Frau Edelgarde Scherle. She had one of the largest feathered friends aviaries in town. And, every time I came to see her—she was so ecstatic. I got the notion--she was very lonely. Never understood it quite with all those birds but not having warm affection, any husband or boyfriend, all her mid-life and beyond must have been rough. She would say to her birds, “Die Sonya ist hier!” … “Die Sonya ist hier!” ... and the birds would keep on chirping...
So here I am, another birthday comes along. Some say 38 is old: Some say 38 is still young. I say, “Who the heck cares. I’m still breathing, still tweeting along.”
Here's my Age in 8's...Age close-to-8 enough Young Artist, starting to draw and paint... Age 18 Art Student, with Best Friends Bobbi Jean & Erin... Age 28 Beginning a professional modeling/acting career in NYC... Age 38 Looking through life at a new angle—on the West coast...Taking photos on top of Mt. Wilson, March 2009...
So, do you twitter or do you think that it's for the birds? ... Which speaking of birds, on Facebook this past weekend, the topic came up in the most unusual way. A friend from New York said a bird crapped on him. Then, I told my bird crapping story. Then the ball started rolling into a non-stop bird crapping conversation. I was not aware that there are so many people who were crapped upon!
I couldn’t get over it … from Twitter to Facebook to MySpace to YouTube, even to my box where someone sent me last night bird e-mail.
What’s going on with all this bird … stuff?
Here’s a shot of a beautiful owl from my friend, Mary:
And oddly enough, I dreamed of this exact bird: Recorded the dream at the Experience Project weeks back. The Owl and I flew together until we landed on an icy patch and he turned into a seal—dove into the water and went through a tunnel. Then, came into my inbox with that bird bit, one of seals: Save them. It never ends.
Life is all about connections.
We are our own constellation to the stars, a map of knowing—but what? What exactly are we all tweeting about?
So, what’s on your silly bird brain today? Please tweet away… just a lot of continued bird babble blogging for me.

Today is Memory Day. Not that I would remember such a day but I am keeping track of daily holidays for 2009. I find that it uplifts me in a strange kind of way. Can’t wait for tomorrow: It's International Goof Off Day! (Click here to see other fabulous daily celebrations).
So, what can you recall? How far back can you go into time? And do you wish to do that sort of crazy thing? It's nuts; I know. The other night, at my local Chinese spot, I received the fortune: “Don’t look back; always look ahead.”Perfect timing. Winter’s over: Spring’s begun. New Beginnings: New Blessings. my springtime floral arrangment
No need for me now to go back and relive or revive any stories, or for that fact, erase any of my writings that I wrote on the spur moment at TRS. Glad to say that I did it: Remember and Reflect ... for I have since renewed my spirit. It was a great healing.
So, why don't you this Memory Day ... Take A Walk With Me (at The Remembering Site: Click to Join. Click to read my story ... any part, anytime to get inspired). Maybe, you, too, would like to walk the wire and write one day your silly heart out in your spare time or when in the mood—write about your memories, you and your families. Do it while you are willing and able, while the sun still shines on your sweet face. And, be sure to remember that nobody writes his or her life history up to this point--without getting hurt in some way. That’s the chance you take. It does free the soul; makes life clearer and worth living.Would love to share with you now--my morning prayer since I'm in a good mood!:Thank you for this day and for the rich opportunities this day will bring forward. I pray for your love and light to guide me in all my endeavors, that I am safe, that I am protected, that I am free to express my gifts, that I may have work that fulfills me and nourishes my life, personally and financially. I am eternally grateful for all that is and have complete faith and trust that all my needs are met. And so it is. AmenSo now I will sign off and start the water in the shower. Visualize myself stepping beneath a warm, healing waterfall; imaging standing in the most beautiful, serene place on earth. It’s my gift of the day. .... Quote of the Day: Adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. I never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger. : Lou Holtz

Enjoy "The SEVEN C's OF SUCCESS" by Brian Tracy. I hold 4 of them strongly; the other 3 -- I have to strongly work on. How about you?1. Clarity - Eighty percent of success comes from being clear on who you are, what you believe in and what you want.
2. Competence - You can't climb to the next rung on the ladder until you are excellent at what you do now.
3. Constraints - Eighty percent of all obstacles to success come from within. Find out what is constraining in you or your company and deal with it.
4. Concentration - The ability to focus on one thing single-mindedly and see it through until it's done takes more character than anything else.
5. Creativity - Flood your life with ideas from many sources. Creativity needs to be exercised like a muscle, if you don't use it you'll lose it.
6. Courage - Most in demand and least in supply, courage is the willingness to do the things you know are right.
7. Continuous learning – Read, at the very least, one book a week on business to keep you miles ahead of the competition. And just as you eat and bathe, organize your time so you spend 30 minutes a day exploring e-mail, sending messages, going through web sites, because like exercise, it's the only way you can keep on top of technology. If you get away from it, you'll lose your edge.

On the eve of St. Patrick's Day, I came across 8 lrish Blessings for Luck ... These Irish Blessings can make anyone feel ... well, feel a little better... May you always have...
May you always have... Walls for the winds A roof for the rain Tea beside the fire Laughter to cheer you Those you love near you And all your heart might desire. May joy and peace surround you... May joy and peace surround you, contentment latch your door, and happiness be with you now and bless you evermore! May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you... May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you, Falling gently on your head, refreshing your soul With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming. May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you, Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean Sparkling after in the sunlight. May the blessing of God's earth be on you, And as you walk the roads, May you always have a kind word for those you meet. May the blessing of light be upon you...
May the blessing of light be upon you, Light on the outside, Light on the inside. With God's sunlight shining on you, May your heart glow with warmth, Like a turf fire that welcomes friends and strangers alike. May the light of the Lord shine from your eyes, Like a candle in the window, Welcoming the weary traveler. May there always be work for your hands to do... May there always be work for your hands to do May your purse always hold a coin or two; May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you. May your neighbors respect you... May your neighbors respect you, Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you, And heaven accept you. May those who love us ... May those who love us, love us; And for those who don't love us, May God turn their hearts; And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we will know them by their limping! May the road rise to meet you... May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Category: Dreams and the Supernatural
I read this article today, "7 Signs Angels Are Sending You" by Doreen Virtue. I would love to share it with you (below); since this weekend, I witnessed all 7 signs. I used to be fascinated by angels when I was younger and even though, my place is not decorated with them anymore ... I still haven't lost sight of their magic working in my life. They do deliver answers, hints, messages, and warnings through signs or signals either in dreams, unconscious, or in waking reality. So, we can do one of two things: Believe in them and notice them, use them in everyday life however big or small, or just think that it's all phony baloney. Go back to what we were doing...
Clouds
Clouds are heavenly bodies of moisture, hovering above us like protective angels as they float around our world. Angels love to use these natural wonders to show us signs because they can be shaped in any fashion and are spectacular to look at. Clouds are one of the most common ways that we receive “I love you” messages from Heaven. The angels' clouds are physical signs that they’re with us around the clock.
Feathers
Feathers may be the ultimate angelic sign. Although feathers come in all different sizes and colors, they're amazing signs because they're directly connected with the thought, prayer, or question that you had in mind. Rarely will you find one left by the angels without knowing what it means. Either you’ll come across it while thinking about something or you'll immediately sense the association upon finding it. The angels will bring you feathers and other signs in a way tailor-made to your own level of faith.
Music
The angels often send their messages through the sound and power of music. It seems that almost everywhere we go, silence is replaced with music in one form or another. Pay attention, as recurring songs (or a series of songs sharing a theme) are almost always a sign from above. In addition to offering a connection to Heaven, music delivers very direct messages and signs. For instance, the title or lyrics of a song that you hear repetitively offers a chance to receive specific guidance from your angels.
Pennies
Coins, or currency in general, are often used by the angels to show us messages or give us guidance. All aspects of this type of sign have specific relevance to you and your path, including the time and place you find the coin, its denominations, the message written on it, and the material it's made. The next time you find a coin on the ground, know that it was purposely placed in your path. The gift of a coin helps us feel supported--financially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
Rainbows
Since the time of Noah's ark, rainbows have been symbolic of God's promise of love, care, support, and protection. When you ask the angels for a sign and you see a rainbow, it signals that your entire situation is being taken care of by them. Albino rainbows, double rainbows, and moonbows (rainbows appearing at night under the moonlight) are all so unusual that they leave no doubt as to their significance. Rainbows are not only signs, but also gifts of encouragement and guidance from the other side.
Voices
When there's an impending emergency or an excess of personal stress, the only way that the angels can ensure you'll hear them is through direct verbal communication. And if the angels talk, there's no doubt as to their message and meaning, and you should definitely listen. Hearing your name called by a disembodied voice is actually a common experience. This happens to most people as they're awakening from sleep, since that's when we're most open to hearing the angels. The voice of God and the angels is that of love and wisdom. When they speak up, it's loud, clear, and unmistakable.
Steps to Receiving Signs from Above
1. Ask. It's best not to specify what type you want to appear. Instead, just notice the repetitive patterns that occur after you put in your request.
2. Have Faith. Trust that the angels are with you, and have faith in the signs that they send.
3. Trust in Divine Timing. Every prayer is heard and answered, but sometimes the fulfillment seems delayed as the angels work behind the scenes to orchestrate the details.
4. Notice the Signs. The angels are happy to keep repeating signs until you notice them. Even if you don’t grasp the meaning of one, noticing it is important. It’s a good idea to ask the angels to explain what it means, in addition to trusting your gut feelings and ideas about its significance.
5. Take Action When Guided. Signs from above often give you messages about actions you can take to bring about the answer to your prayers.

"For 59 years Tibetans have placed their trust in Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, as their head of state and spiritual leader. In 1950, he was called upon to assume full political power after some 80,000 People's Liberation Army soldiers invaded Tibet. He soon created a resistance movement against China. In 1959, after a large uprising, he escaped to Dharamsala India (where he currently resides) and received political asylum. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize." ~Beliefnet
March 2009 is the 50th anniversary of the Dalai Lama's escape to India. To honor his life's work so far, Beliefnet chose some of the most beautiful and wise Dalai Lama quotes on peace from their virtual library to share with all of us.
Dalai Lama Quotes About Peace
"A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities."
"As free human beings we can use our unique intelligence to try to understand ourselves and our world. But if we are prevented from using our creative potential, we are deprived of one of the basic characteristics of a human being."
"Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities; an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities, but anger can. Anger is our real enemy."
"Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity."
"Brute force, no matter how strongly applied, can never subdue the basic human desire for freedom and dignity. It is not enough, as communist systems have assumed, merely to provide people with food, shelter and clothing. Human nature needs to breathe the precious air of liberty."
"We have a saying in Tibet. "If you lose your temper and get angry, bite your knuckles." This means that if you lose your temper, do not show it to others. Rather, say to yourself, 'Leave it.'"
"When we demand the rights and freedoms we so cherish, we should also be aware of our responsibilities. If we accept that the others have an equal right to peace and happiness as ourselves, do we not have a responsibility to help those in need?"
"Without love we could not survive. Human beings are social creatures, and a concern for each other is the very basis of our life together."
"Real peace [is] not just the absence of violence or of war... A mere absence of war is not genuine, lasting world peace. Peace must develop on mutual trust."
"The whole of humanity is…one human family. This planet is our only home."
"Non-violence means dialogue, using our language, the human language. Dialogue means compromise; respecting each other’s rights; in the spirit of reconciliation there is a real solution to conflict and disagreement. There is no hundred percent winner, no hundred percent loser; not that way but half-and-half. That is the practical way, the only way."
"My call for a spiritual revolution is thus not a call for a religious revolution. Nor is it a reference to a way of life that is somehow other-worldly, still less to something magical or mysterious. Rather, it is a call for a radical re-orientation away from our habitual preoccupation with self towards concern for the wider community of beings with whom we are connected, and for conduct which recognizes others’ interests alongside our own."
"I pray for all of us, oppressor and friend, that together we may succeed in building a better world through human understanding and love, and that in doing so we may reduce the pain and suffering of all sentient beings."
"We should not seek revenge on those who have committed crimes against us, or reply to their crimes with other crimes. We should reflect that by the law of karma, they are in danger of lowly and miserable lives to come, and that our duty to them, as to every being, is to help them to rise towards Nirvana, rather than let them sink to lower levels of rebirth."
"Internal peace is an essential first step to achieving peace in the world. How do you cultivate it? It's very simple. In the first place by realizing clearly that all mankind is one, that human beings in every country are members of one and the same family."
"It is extremely important to investigate the causes or origins of suffering. One must begin that process by appreciating the impermanent, transient nature of our existence. All things, events and phenomena are dynamic, changing every moment, nothing remains static. Meditating on one’s blood circulation could serve to reinforce this idea: the blood is constantly flowing, it never stands still..."
"Wars arise from a failure to understand one another's humanness. Instead of summit meetings, why not have families meet for a picnic and get to know each other while the children play together?"
"It is my belief that whereas the twentieth century has been a century of war and untold suffering, the twenty-first century should be one of peace and dialogue. As the continued advances in information technology make our world a truly global village, I believe there will come a time when war and armed conflict will be considered an outdated and obsolete method of settling differences among nations and communities."
"Happiness cannot come from hatred or anger. Nobody can say, "Today I am happy because this morning I was very angry." On the contrary, people feel uneasy and sad and say, "Today I am not happy because I lost my temper this morning." Through kindness, whether at our own level or at the national and international level, through mutual understanding and through mutual respect, we will get peace, we will get happiness, and we will get genuine satisfaction."
Above Quotes from "The Pocket Dalai Lama," edited by Mary Craig, 2002. Reprinted by arrangement with Shambhala Publications, Boston.
Never give up Develop the heart Too much energy in your country is spent Developing the mind instead of the heart. Be compassionate not just to your friends but to everyone Be compassionate. Work for peace in your heart and in the world. Work for peace and I say again Never give up. No matter what is happening, No matter what is going on around you, Never give up.
The Dalai Lama
From "The Pocket Zen Reader," edited by Thomas Cleary, 1999. Reprinted by arrangement with Shambhala Publications, Boston.

Plato once said, "At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet."
This morning, I rose to a beautiful sunrise, walk on the ocean. Asking for help from above. Then, this message came into my box: (Fresh Morning Wisdom by Valerie Reiss on Beliefnet Health & Happiness)
The Wise Quotes of Paulo Coelho The Brazilian author of "The Alchemist" and many other novels Paulo Coelho has moved the world with his seemingly simple spiritual tales, selling 85 million books in more than 150 countries. Here are some of our favorite inspirational quotes from his beloved writings--on everything from following your dreams to making friends with your own heart.
Your Journey There is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth.
The Alchemist
Seeking Love The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.
By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
The Best Teacher What is a teacher? I'll tell you: it isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.
The Witch of Portobello
Befriending the Heart The boy and his heart had become friends, and neither was capable now of betraying the other.
The Alchemist
The Only Thing Only one thing makes a dream impossible: the fear of failure.
The Alchemist
This Precious Moment We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.
The Alchemist
The Secret of Life The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.
The Alchemist
The Good Fight Often, during combat, the warrior of light receives blows that he was not expecting. And he realizes that, during a war, his enemy is bound to win some of the battles. When this happens, the warrior of light weeps bitter tears and rests in order to recover his energies a little. But he immediately resumes the battle for his dreams.
Manual of the Warrior of Light
What is Intuition? Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it's all written there.
The Alchemist
...it is true, our love can do miracles. As I write this part, I hear a beautiful bird singing outside my window and the sun is still shining within, lighting up my face once again.
