I admire creativity, and that spirit of encouraging other people to live life to the fullest extent possible. I dunno if you've managed to see (or read!) the Ladies First Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith- but you might want to check it out. Another project of interest is featured in this video:
"Good" music transcends the barriers of language, location, economic status- and hopefully makes the listener think. Here's a little song for today:
Please grab yourself a mug of coffee, or tea- and a comfortable seat! Here's another "magical carpet ride" of pure enjoyment for your senses (at least I believe this- what do YOU like to listen to?). I DO so hope that you are able to appreciate the awe and magic that surrounds us, AND that you're having a good day (or evening) "BEing" yourself, and.. "DOing" whatever makes your very heart and soul "SING"!

Wouldn't it JUST be neat if EACH one of us (yes, I mean YOU!) could simply "BE" purposefully kind and compassionate each day? I mean.. just THINK about it. What sort of things come free in life, but are truly priceless? For ME, some of these things are: a kind word, a pleasant smile, a genuine offer of help for no reason at all. Anita Roddick sure moved mountains. What can YOU do?? Find out more at http://www.iamanactivist.org
Music
Nature and music- gifts from the magical universe. I do hope if you have a few minutes, you can watch this video.

My taste in music is quite eclectic- and if variety is the spice of life, I must be "steeped" in spice! I love listening to Dusty Springfield, B.B. King, Ella Fitgerald, Annie Lennox, Paul Simon, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Petula Clark, Roy Orbison, Supertramp, The Beatles (of course!)Cher, Phil Collins, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Johnny Cash, Priscilla Hernandez, Nora Jones, Sophie B. Hawkins, Enya, Simon Bailey, Liquid Vision, Heather Renee- and.. SO many more. Music is the "Universal Language".. truly beautiful music knows no barriers- and can unite the world.
AND? Music so pure and true that it sends me on a "magical carpet ride" to another realm. I truly LOVE this song- as it represents to me the fine "balance" of the paradoxical nature of this "Uni~verse".
Movies
My favorites are "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Sarafina", "The Brothers Grimm", "Sling Blade", "Edward Scissorhands", "Mask", "The Dark Crystal", "Labarynth"
(I LOVE the music in this one!)- AND also "Pan's Labarynth", "Joe's Apartment"- you HAVE to see this one, especially if you are sad... it will cheer you up! "The Secret of Roan Innish"- (a GREAT kid's movie)and... "Little Nicky" Oh! also "Fifth Element", "Chronicles of Narnia"- AND.. "August Rush". IF you happen to be one of those individuals who "hears the music of this awesomely magical "UNI~verse"?? I'm pretty sure you might enjoy this movie.
Television
HBO documentaries, the Sci- Fi channel on occasion, and the Independent film channel. I like the History, Science, Health, Travel and Discovery Channels- world news- but it gets depressing. I've discovered the best news source is the BBC.. sometimes I think American news gets "sanitized" because I find things out long before it's broadcast as "news".
Books
I cannot claim any particular genre or author, I simply love to read. I HAVE just recently decided to change my "long running philosophy" of only reading books that have 350 pages or more. Change IS good.. and I find that I MIGHT have missed a true gem in the literary world, had I NOT decided to change! Try "The Alchemist" if you're looking for something to make you.. ponder.
I love mystery, history, crime, fiction, non- fiction. Whatever makes me really question my own beliefs, ethics, morals- and gives me "food for thought" is a good book to me. I am also attracted to the possibilities of quantum physics, and happily agree that not one person can possibly experience someone else's reality- as each person processes information (sight, sound, thought, touch, smell, emotion) differently. One can choose to learn, to actively think and question- and to "agree to disagree" with whatever they want to! I just love to learn- and.. think.
Heroes
Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, ordinary people living with and/or enduring horrid circumstances. AND- ordinary people with extraordinarily kind hearts.

Sue wishing to everyone a joyous, and.. (of course) "Happy Sparkle Thoughtsy" holiday!! Posted at 5:03 PM Dec 25 view more
About me: This video is an example of one person's passionate dream becoming reality!! I *LOVE* the SING Campaign, and all the hope that it represents. What are YOU "DOing" to show compassion today?
Please think twice before "trading in", or discarding your computer system and other electronics. This video is a real eye- opener to what actually can become of them.
I *LOVE* Humanity.. and passionately believe ALL humanity deserves to be treated with equal respect, dignity- and compassion. Please visit this site: http://www.everyhumanhasrights.org if you feel this way, too. : ) Here's a video you might find interesting. I DO hope that you're having a "Happy Sparkle Thoughts" sort of day, and being treated kindly.
Every Human Has Rights from The Elders on Vimeo.
I SUPPORT THE SING CAMPAIGN!!! AND- this video explains why. : ) SUCH wonderful things CAN be accomplished with genuine passion, compassion, information.. and medication.
Please- if you are interested, and feel moved and inspired, visit the Treatment Action Campaign's official website at http://www.tac.org.za/
I greatly admire those who are genuine- and have the ability and passion to try to make life better for humanity.
It is within each and every person's power to make a difference in someone's life. Sometimes individuals need a "hand up" not only a "hand- out". Become a volunteer, teach someone for free, be purposefully kind. Every bit of compassion helps.
Here's something else you might not be aware of, but.. as it pertains to the overall well- being of our planet, I would like to offer this video for you to view.. ponder- and? If you'd like to "BEE involved", please visit their website!
I'm thinking that the person who designed this machine is capable of doing quite remarkable things for humanity- if he so chooses.
Who I'd like to meet: If I could, I would have LOVED to have met the designers and creators of Stonehenge. I am in awe of the magical mysteries that those stones could tell us, if they could converse in a language humankind could understand. I have also contemplated what it would have been like to talk with Aristotle. Seriously? It would not be possible, but Philip Emeagwali would be an interesting person to chat with.
Oh, and I wish I could shake hands with Nelson Mandela, and Maya Angelou, Annie Lennox, and the talented women who make those incredible beaded animals.
Dearest Sue! I am thinking of you strongly right this moment and wish you a VERY HAPPY Christmas day. I hope you will have a wonderful celebration- A beautiful day to remember!!
I am now at my father´s home, at midday we will go to my brother´s home where we will celebrate with his family. I hope Anja will be very happy at this special day and enjoy Christmas feeling and gifts. And I also wish that little Amelie will be able to sense the very own Christmas feeling.
I wish you and your beloved ones God´s blessings for a wonderful holiday,
Hey Sue.......read the blog "Rex quits....." it explains.......
Feeling pretty zoned out as Rex sprung this on me last night...and this morning i signed final divorce papers......so today I am very much....the "free" man....... I knew it was coming with Rex as he had already pulled out of live plans.......and had shifted his focus and emphasis to other things......
So the hunt is on for a new foil to take his place.......sad but inevitable.....
Thanks for your ghost ;O) Don't use myspace much. Pete & myself use Facebook more. Last week we came back from our USA vacaction. Smokey mountains gorgeous autumn colours. Charleston & Savannah very historic beautiful towns. Miles and miles of lovely beaches. Plus Atlanta is a very cool City. Martin Luther King, Gone With The Wind and Coca Cola connections. Pete has taken hundreds of wonderful photographs do you have a facebook connection to view them? My parents are fine. Dad's skin cancer has healed up well. Dan is still working evening at Cardiff Castle. Just come back from watching the Bluebirds. Game was live on the the BBC. We could have gone top of the league with a win but as usual we threw away a win in the last few mins - in a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forrest. Lovely to hear from you. Sending many happy sparking thoughts to your family and yourself. Bluebirds!!!!!!!
Angst and frustration........now THAT is an understatement!!!!! And the subject of 13 out of 14 new lyrics......7 of which have hatched into songs to be recorded next weekend.....
So in the meantime......ROLLIN' previously unreleased and THIS TWISTED RHYME and others at IAC through the link.....trust you're familiar with it.........and hope all is well..........
Thanks so much for sharing my family..s joy about Amelie:-):-) In the meantime I already had the opportunity to see Amelie awake and to look at her eyes- they are very beautiful:-)
I am glad to tell you that my father seems to be happy now- He helps working for the local church, writes little thoughts of him publicated in the local church newspaper and tells a couple about Christianity who wants to become become Christians. He always tells me after their meetings that they are really very, very nice. When I see his eyes smiling at this moment, I feel joy in my heart.
I want to share my joy with you and
wish you all the best, take care and have a wonderful time,
I am thinking of you right now, hoping you have a joyful life and wanting you to share with me something very wonderful- Last Saturday, my (second) niece Amelie was born!!! I can..t describe what I thought when I saw her- it was a special happiness and love I only feel very seldom. I feel that my mother sent us Amelie- The last year we lost my mother and my granparents and now it..s a wonderful thing that such a sweet new family member is given to us:-):-)
Amelie is healthy, she looks similar to Anja and she seems to be a longsleeper because everytime I visited her she slept.But I didn..t mind, I enjoyed watching her, it was more than a pleasure to me:-)
Anja is 0,85m high and has 3,05kg. So I think she will become as small as Phetcha,
Seeing little Anja I thought, she is a real angel:-) when I have photos of her I will send you the photos with a message.
I wish you a great Sunday and a good following week,
..
