ENJOY LIFE!

  • “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” — Helen Keller

I am excited that I get to go to Georgia to officiated at my great nieces wedding! (I guess that makes me Aunt Sandy the great!) I am excited, and a little nervous about flying by myself at seventy-three, but I wouldn't miss this trip for anything. And hey, I am enjoying my silver highlights and my stellar health and balance. It's never too late to enjoy life!

How about you? Do you enjoy life? One of my most enjoyable moments of every day is to get out and walk. Whether with friends or by myself, I get out and enjoy the scenery. Flowers, bunnies, the native cactus, and I can walk all I want without spending a dime. How about you? Do you go for coffee or to a movie with friends? Or maybe you enjoy traveling or volunteering?

I have stopped worrying about what I should or shouldn't do in my seventies. If I think I would enjoy something, I find a way to do it.

  • Savor each day of your life. Enjoy your friends and family, and treasure those wonderful "alone time" moments. The most important person in your life is you. Enjoy each moment.
  • Love and Light,

 HERE'S TO EVOLVING WITH THE TIMES "Human beings are not our enemy. Our enemy is not the other person. Our enemy is the violence, ignorance and injustice in us and the other person. When we are armed with compassion and understanding, we fight not against other people, but against the tendency to invade, to dominate, and to exploit."               --Tich Nhat Hahn I am in my early seventies, and I am certainly the one who struggles with technology, but still I try. For me, I have agonized over each new phone that I change to, after I finally have mastered the old phone. But, life goes on and we have the ability to change with the changes that occur in our every day life. Have you ever struggled with this, or are you the brave and curious person who welcomes new technology? To me, I think new technology is something that moves life forward. It's a little bit like embracing the newness that comes with Spiritual evolution. Many faiths struggle to k...

WHICH WITCH IS WHICH We are counting down the days to the next Halloween. What a fun time to dress up and step into the wonderful world of Imagination! Can you remember what your very first Halloween costume was? My mother wrapped me in a sheet, put a crown on my head and handed me a flashlight. She told me I was the Statue of Liberty. Through the years I have donned many costumes but I think my favorite ones were a boy scout, and when my husband and I dressed up like two peas in a pod. Being a high school drama teacher for about thirty years also helped me create so many memorable moments. Imagination is such a wonderful tool. Keeping it as we go through the years is such an amazing gift, and I think it really does make our wits grow sharper. So share the magic this Halloween, and may your treats be many, and your tricks be few. "Let your words include the positive self-talk that reaps a glorious Spiritual harvest!

  HOPE, PEACE, AND LOVE "Love is patient, love is kind...it always protects, always trusts, always perseveres.  Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 15:4 Emerson tells us that, "Love is a synonym for God." I find it ironic that we as individuals often wear blindfolds to that very fact. Love should protect and persevere, always. Love is the guiding Force behind all creation. Love is unconditional, and by that very phrase, it sends a message that it should be felt by all.  Of all the many faith traditions, there are several principles that are held in common. Being kind to others, honoring all life, creating harmony, being of service to others, to mention a few. I find it ironic that many battles are driven by belief that, "God is on  my side." There are always at least two sides. How can Spirit be on both sides. Perhaps God is really for Peace.  Shelter, sustenance, equal justice, must be available to all humanity. The Dalai Lama tells us that his religion is,...
