William Blake lives on

May 10th, 2010 | Category: Random, Spiritual, Writing

I am not exactly what you would call the religious type. I am spiritual. I love the unknown. I thrive on mystery and imagination. I drink from the cup of existence. I live, I breath, I am.

Life is a line without an end … a circle. Read more

Without words

May 10th, 2010 | Category: Dreams, Fantasy, Happiness, Spiritual, Writing

without wordsI recently had an experience that was so intense that I am unable to describe it in words. Words could never give the experience … visually or spiritually … the justice that it deserves.

Stuck inside my head …

When I see something so beautiful and extraordinary, I want to share it with the world. I want to weave a story that sucks a person into my imaginary universe. However, each attempt I make at trying to describe the experience, I water down the sheer beauty of the moment. Read more

Hope for the Flowers

hope for the flowers book coverI have a book recommendation for you …

“Hope for the Flowers” by Trina Paulus

Life is not black and white. There is a little yellow in all of us …

Life is not simple enough to be drawn under one abstract theory, and humans cannot be defined or summed up by any one particular thought. We simply exist. Each person is an individual with different experiences, thoughts and emotions, and it is through these that we come to understand who we are as people. Life is not simple enough to conclude the meaning of life … this all comes from actually living.

Be kind, please rewind

February 18th, 2008 | Category: Entertainment, Humans, Movies, People watching, Spiritual

Now playing in VHS …

people laughing theaterThree people sit in a dark room laughing hysterically at a TV screen. Next to them is a box of video tapes. Each is labeled with a name to identify the life playing out on the screen.

You watch as one person picks out a new tape.  “Can we watch this one again? I do not think that I have ever laughed as hard.”

Add 60 miles to that

January 30th, 2008 | Category: Fate, Happiness, Love, Spiritual

numbersIt all comes down to numbers. Geography is just an obstacle. I would never let something as simple as miles on a map get in the way of my pursuit for happiness. 

Contradiction starts here …

I am not a Florida gal. I have tried to like the heat, sand and sea – it is just not happening. Nothing is real here … not even the people.

Never lose hope

January 15th, 2008 | Category: Bad Day, Cats, Love, Spiritual

butterfly hopeHope is my middle name …

We must never give up hope. Hope powers dreams and desires. It is the fuel that keeps us alive. Even when a cloud lingers longer than it should, welcome it with a smile. Rain is necessary – it cleanses the land and brings needed water to the plants for growth and renewal.

Lane ends merge left

January 03rd, 2008 | Category: Driving, Fate, Spiritual, Travel

wrong way go back signI am temporarily distracted as I drive down the highway of life. I crash through a road block. I fail to notice the many signs with “Wrong Way” written in big, bold letters.

Do you ever wonder if you made a wrong turn in life?

Maybe you went left when you were supposed to go right. It may be a simple change in your route, but what if it completely alters the rest of your drive? Instead of driving the easy and breezy scenic route, you are now on the fast track to arrive at your destination before you were meant to be there. What if the new route leads you to a completely different destination?

A new year, a new life

December 30th, 2007 | Category: Dreams, Holidays, Spiritual

What will you change about your life this year?

changeEach year we all vow to change something about our lives or ourselves. Some of us choose to go on a diet and lose that last 10 pounds. Others decide it is time to pay off debt or find a better paying job.

Some people may view the new year as a time to change. I see it as a way for us to keep holding off making change. We do not need an event or a day to make ourselves better. This should be happening every day of our lives. If we depend on a single day to make a change in our lives, then we will never change.

Time to relax

December 17th, 2007 | Category: Gym, Health, Reading, Spiritual, Writing, lazy

relax lazyRelax?

Until recently, “relax” has always been synonymous for “lazy” in my mind. I have always preferred to spend my time more constructively. I would try to relax, but I would find at least 500 things that have to be done at that very moment or else life would cease to exist.  Read more

Intelligence leads to unhappiness …

Jennifer renaissance festivalAs we age, we gain more knowledge and wisdom. This intelligence blocks our ability to enjoy life. It interferes with our creativity, our dreams, our fantasies …

The more we fill our heads with facts and figures the more we limit the powers of our imagination. It becomes harder and harder to float effortlessly on a cloud.
