I love the story of the little girl who showed her teacher a picture she painted of a tree. The tree was purple. The teacher said, "Sweetheart, I've never seen a purple tree, now have I?" "Oh?" said the little girl. "That's too bad." -Marianne Williamson

About me: I'll get back to you on this one, gonna take some thought. Meanwhile, here's a little something to chew on:
Do you suspect a child may be getting abused? Don't know what to do? Are concerned but don't want to get involved, second-guessing yourself? Child abuse concerns can be reported anonymously. Do you want to be one of many that child remembers as those could have helped but did not? Go to hopeshining.org for more info.and links.
Who I'd like to meet: artists, dream makers, trouble makers who want to change the world as we know it. People who aren't afraid to scream or are looking for support to scream with me. People who aren't placated by the news, TV and stuck in a rut of denial. People who have compassion for others as well as themselves.
The dark nights and solitude of the desert these are like the winds that we prevail in the vast the unspeakable, we thus face a reality in our revealing ourselves and allowing us to grow and subdue our woes that are all too often that a reflection that life makes us seeing them to seriously. How painful moments pass before we become aware and transmute these moments of pure abandon and so we return in the morning in a bright new day where everything is possible.
So, Tammy, I am sorry to take so long to respond, but I have been in a funk about money, what else??? I am proud of you getting over the cigs, and am sorry about your painters blank. Prayer is the only thing that works for me. It works with art, but not with money? Oh well! Give them Heaven, for they know all too well about Hell!

And PS I so burned out on schmoozing, that if this is the only method to get recognized as an artist, I am in deep deep trouble.
So, we have Obama, and I am hoping that you are off of the cigs. If not, fear not, as a child of God, you never have smoked anyway, so there... Happy New Year, and happy new President!
Happy New Year. I am hoping that you are now completely over the cigs, but if you fell off of the wagon during the most stressful time of the year, give yourself a break, get drunk, and forgive yourself. You are breaking the chains of a most demanding drug. Kudos to you young lady...
Nine days... I am proud "for" you, Tammy... I quit them in 1995 after smoking for 30 years. Kudos!!! Trust me, you've gone through the worst by now. It does get easier from now on... You'll save money too, kiddo!!
So, Holiday greetings, and yes, I've decided to do comments again rather than just messages. What the frig does it matter who sees what of whatever we write.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!! quitting smoking was the best thing I ever did and I NEVER thought I could do it (its been 18 months) YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! one day at a time :) the best of luck!
And perhaps your Daddy is thinking of you, my dear. My Father passed away at the young of sixty four back in 1976. Since I just turned 60 this year, my thoughts of him have changed a bit. I now see him as the young man that I still am, and this seems to heal the grief that his passing caused. Perhaps our fathers have met up somewhere out there in the etherlands of space. Perhaps they are right now having a drink and wondering how the children will treat their world. Perhaps...who knows?
“Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you.” Edward Gorey
"The great and glorious masterpiece of man is the to live to the point. All other things-- to reign, to hoard, to build-- are at most but inconsiderable props and appendages. The truly wise man must be as intelligent and expert in the use of natural pleasures as in all other functions of life. So the sages live, gently yielding to the laws of our human lot, to Venus and to Bacchus. Relaxation and versatility, it seems to me, go best with a strong and noble mind, and do it singular honor. There is nothing more notable in Socrates that that he found time time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and thought them time well spent." Michel Eyquem de Montaigne
