Need to write something to let people know that I am still breathing after the Mothers’ Day posting. Well…these happy, content, could-care-less-about-anything-cows gave me the perfect idea. These happy inhabitants of that green pasture were grazing happily ever after about 5 miles off the outskirts of Miami.  Yes, Miami.  Via the Turnpike.  Couldn’t ignore themContinue reading “Nothing to write about…and then the cows came home…in Miami…”

We humanoids have rituals, traditions and customs.  This coming Sunday, May 13th we celebrate a very important holiday.  Mothers’ Day. What does it mean…Motherhood.  I believe you have to be one…either biologically or by any other method,  to know the pain, the agony, the glory, the ecstasy that you go through when you are a…Mother. To thoseContinue reading “Mother…Madre…Mere…and so on…Happy Mothers’ Day…”

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…”
