I am reading this book about 1,001 things I can do, or anyone can do when you are not sure what is it that you want to do. One of the sections is titled “Be An Author.”  I thought about it because to write this blog is one of the things I do where IContinue reading “Be an author…to write…not to write…”

Mama Nature never ceases to amaze me…even when the perfect flower is not so perfect. Therein lies the beauty of Nature.  It never works at doing anything…it just waits patiently for things to evolve and take their course…all without moving a petal. This morning during my once-in-a-while walk, I was looking for the perfect magnolia,Continue reading “Beauty…and the Beat…”

Sometimes we think we have to take the actual road to travel to amazing places. I am on a quest to take the road less travelled…that one of an internal search to find meaning and fulfillment at this stage of my life. I think I was not created to color my hair once a month, checkContinue reading “New Possibilities…New Roads to Travel…”

Ahhhhh…new beginnings…fresh starts…new opportunities…maybe a new life. Those are the meanings of Easter for me.  This also includes the spirit of forgiveness.  You cannot love without having the spirit of forgiveness.  One cannot exist without the other. Also, I am grateful for new opportunities to be a better person, to be kind, be loving, andContinue reading “Happy New Beginnings…Happy Easter…”

This is the fish that I nurture every day in the inside pool of my apartment.  She is a very smart fish…but of course, she is a she.  She knows when to talk, when to eat and when to sleep. She even knows when to just be quiet.  Great listener too. I  feed her only vegetarian meals, because IContinue reading “On the foolishest day of the year…Meet Emelinda…”

Coming back from my French class this evening, there was a beautiful breeze, a sliver of the moon and some twinkle, twinkle little stars that made me feel as if I was a citizen of paradise. The peace and quiet of the night, together with my brain feeling just fried by my efforts to speak the romanticContinue reading “A sliver of the moon and a balmy night in paradise…”

No one likes to talk about the perverse sides of human beings.  All of us have weaknesses, but some of us have ugly sides called bigotry, racism and prejudice. People that want to pretend that we live in a kind of utopian society are on denial or just plain blind and deaf, metaphorically speaking. Here in Sanford,Continue reading “Racism, Bigotry and Prejudice…Alive and present…”

Last night I had a dream…this very dear person, that has gone to Heaven, and I were having a conversation and all I remember about the dream is what this person said, that even in the dream I said “wow! that is so profound.” This is what this person said “If you have not beenContinue reading “Even love has to be taught…”

And you thought that only little boys liked trains.  Well…I better like them a lot, because I have six of them going almost next to my building on a daily basis. This morning during my forced-to-walk there it was… one of them.  This time a cargo or freight train.  I cannot help it, but IContinue reading “Vintage chicks like trains too…Here comes the train…Six times a day…”

What do you do with old apples, totally ignored for over four months, because I am on a kick for cantaloupes right now; and a box of old dried raisins. Well…if you are like me, I do not like to waste anything, and like to repurpose almost everything…do not like to throw things out…you become creativeContinue reading “Concoction of old apples…old raisins…and voila!”
