The Art and Soul of Play

I think a lot of us feel like we’re sort of trapped within the confines of reality, as if all things are either destined to be or everything is random. But these perspectives don’t leave any room for the human factor. Why would we be here – alive, breathing, thinking, doing – if we didn’t have some control over our lives?! Could we instead be co-creating our experiences ~ along with other people, the universe, the cosmos, the powers that be? I read recently that the more we take responsibility for everything in our lives, the more power we generate (empowerment). This certainly implies a significant level of control. So the questions remain: What do you want to create and are you willing to start playing with the building blocks of existence to bring it to fruition?

Sometimes I Miss My Typewriter...

In my mind's eye are sugar plum dreams, but the cyber mind is clogged with crossed, cold wires. How to untangle the web of modern technological life? Unplug, unwind and reboot at a later date? Sounds like Pandora Radio to my ears. Dinner and a drive-in, anyone?

Meaning: Is it Random, Orchestrated or Self-Revealing?

My husband and I awoke at 3:30am this morning to the sound of music beneath our windows. I assumed it was a homeless person walking down the street with a boombox, but the music just got louder and more three dimensional as it approached. So Tom lept out of bed, looked out the window, and exclaimed something to the PG- effect of, ‘What the heck?!’. At this point, I too jumped out bed and joined him, only to witness about 100 people drumming, singing in Spanish and marching down the street.

Curiously, we were also wakened last week at 3:30am by the cries of a cat moving swiftly down Main street on all fuzzy fours. One to always help an animal in need, I threw on my robe and slippers – with dutiful hubby following – and rescued the grateful kitty from the freezing temps.

Becoming sort of a natural rhythm to our lives, we are often awoken around 3am, although usually for more subtle or ambiguous reasons. There are various theories as to why this may be and what it may mean. And yet then again, maybe it is whatever we make of it – whether a chance to be part of the miraculous, or climb back into our cozy bed.

Life is not as dense as you think.

Let's Get this Decorating Party Started!

Start Small, Feel Swell

Start with a drawer, basket or shelf; unclutter it, re-organize it and re-design it until you feel good about it. Now, every time you open that drawer, need something from the basket or look upon that shelf, it'll evoke positive feelings.

Imagine this on a larger scale - your closet, office or whole house... The energies that are now more atuned to you are freed up to help you achieve even bigger dreams: Maybe a new career, addition to your family, dream vacation, dream lifestyle. Because true style ~ how your highest self expresses itself ~ matters. It's about knowing what you love most and learning to express it so you are attracting more of the same.
