love irrelevancy
Oh dear
a safer shore
This is my journey, I can’t deflect it. It moves across the waters without a reason, except for love. It crosses each channel with grace and beauty like fragile dappled’ beats breathing into the water – Life. Joy. Ecstasy. Want. Passion. Pursuit. The need to arrive at a destination is preempted by the flow of happiness guiding me toward a safe shore.
Thank you 2011
How do you say “thank you”?
Thank you to love that has brought me unbelievable pain
Thank you pain for teaching me how to navigate circumstances with my mind
Thank you to my mind for being strong, clear,
resilient, and ever curious about how things work
Thank you for how things work, no matter how disastrous my life may look, things always seem to work out for my good.
Thank you for love that has brought me unspeakable joy
Thank you joy for transforming my life with just a simple change in attitude
Thank you change of attitude for helping me remap my own feelings so that I experience honesty and awareness in my life today
Thank you today for giving me NOW, the moment I live, the opportunity to love, learn, explore, play and work, and for every imaginable opportunity that life holds
Thank you opportunity, thank you for always being there
Your voice is often soft and quiet, and many times you are not in the light where I can see you, but if I pay attention, you are always there!
Decent into me
Luminarie laid out like a Rosary
Winding like a ribbon
Binding the girl
to his heart
flowing
tasseling along Aphrodite’s heels
reeling like a circus wheel

I use to pretend in front of the mirror
The voice of the chipmunk went to someone else. The lover announced he was marrying another. The alien wasn’t worth fighting for. But the sun is out, and she’s still an actress.
Were you theatrical as a child?
Somewhat. I would put my earphones on and sing along to soundtracks of musicals like Les Misérables. I’d act it out in the mirror and cry.
Just Say NO, but….
NO is ok with me, just don’t tell me NO slow!
My Business coach, Michael Tannery of Tannery Wealth Advisors, said this to me recently and I couldn’t let it go! How often have you been involved in a project, job, or relationship that wasted more time than you really had all because someone didn’t tell you no up front. Think about it!
Happy Saturday from New York!

Deal or No Deal
I know you cannot go through life unless you are willing for love or money to make a fool of yourself. Where else does the ecstasy lie?

Conversations of love
Conversations of love
For days I languish in love and sensual thoughts. The sweltering heat keeps me inside my house, musing over photographs from the past, evoking laughter and tears, joy and anger…love and passion. Sickness grips me for weeks, months on end yet, there is a sweet languor about the days that have produced strength and resolve in my mind. Just what an artist needs – a cocoon of dreamy space to weave around the heart – secret desires and conversations of love and living and life…in time she will emerge.
