A NEW START


...i have felt a strong pull to change direction a bit with my blog ... so i have started anew!

THIS is where you can find me now ... it is in its infancy stage ... still in the process of digging and planting some roots ...
excited to see what will emerge.

i would love to have you come visit me.

...a thought

i am thinking that this could be the answer to nearly 
any (if not all) problems...

when you are struggling or troubled or scared 
or irritated or frustrated or confused .... 
simply try to

whether it be the person you are struggling with...
LOVE MORE, 
whether it is circumstances beyond your control...
LOVE MORE, 
whether it is yourself you are frustrated with ... 
LOVE MORE.

that is what i am trying to do ... 
it has become a mantra for me ...
try it ... we always have more!

peaceandlove,

...i've learned that



i've learned that when there are 
lessons to be learned in OUR life ... 
that those "lessons" will keep reappearing 
until we SURRENDER and ACCEPT and LEARN them 
(painful and as difficult as it may be...)
and to do our best to TRUST
in the JOURNEY


happy weekend

peaceandlove,

...say whaaaaaaaaaat wednesday????


(photo taken in carpinteria, ca with my handy dandy iphone!)

wouldn’t it be so cool to know that you 
aided in someone’s dreams coming true ... 
that you played a part (no matter how small) 
to turn a dream into REALITY??!
now is your chance .... 
my dear artist friend Jenny Wentworth has a dream ... 
an aspiration to paint in ITALY!!! 
(oh how magical would THAT be?!?)  

if you want to aid Jenny in fulfilling
this dream ... check out her sidebar to
see how you can help that happen!!

and with that being said ...

WHAT DREAMS ARE YOU 
HOPING BECOME A REALITY and
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP THAT HAPPEN??

WE ALL ARE... 

and how amazing our world would be 
if we all used 
that power wisely ... 
living lives full of 
kindness and bravery 
and love and peace.

just imagine....
