being alive


Anyone or anything that does not bring you alive is too small for you.
-David Whyte

“Many of us die with the music still in us.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes





Got to see an old friend that I have known since Junior High when we went to Michigan last weekend. She took pictures of the girls dancing :) So good to see Lisa!!!
I hope you enjoy the words below!!!

Are you on auto-pilot?
Are you alive but not yet living?
Do you wonder where the last 10 or 20 or 30 years have gone? Have you allowed your music to come out?
Do you even know what your music is?
What’s holding you back from living the best, most insanely precious life you can?
You can live a fuller, richer, more intentional (and fun) life right now.
It’s a choice. (We’re always in choice)
If not now, when? -Pattie Digh

What a long, strange trip it's been!!!


The picture above is one that my friend, Nikki sent me from back "in the day."
She used to tour with the Grateful Dead!!!!! This should be on an album cover!!!!!!
She is the one sitting on the ground.
I hope you enjoy the quote below.

We had a nice time today for Mother's Day at the House of Hunan.

If you are waiting for anything in order to live and love without holding back, then you suffer. Every moment is the most important moment of your life. No future time is better than now to let down your guard and love.

The Soul Does Go On........


above is a picture of the music box and the picture beside it is of my Grandma.



..........I was thinking of my Grandma Benjamin on Thursday which was my 21st anniversary during my walk...and could have sworn she was there with me.....then Marko just tells me as I am tucking him in that night...."who's music box is that in the hall?".....I said "that was my Grandma Benjamin's musicbox." He says"well it went off tonight when I was running past it...I like to believe it was my grandma saying "Happy Anniversary."

Namaste,

You need your ego to survive in the three-dimensional world, but you need only that part of the ego which processes information. The rest - pride, arrogance, defensiveness, fear - is worse than useless. The rest of the ego separates you from wisdom, joy, and God.

Marko is playing for the Twins this year. They rolled to a 14-2 win for their first game this year. Marko went 2 for 4 with an RBI and two runs scored.

Joy is what happens when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.
