Judith Simpson was one of the earth’s finest human beings. She and I were friends for many years. Lord, I think it must have been 1994 when we first met on the internet, became friends through Saluki-L, and began to share our common loves. When word came through from our mutual good friend, Willie Towles, yesterday, that Judy had passed away, my heart just crumbled to pieces.

I was angry this morning. This post planned to be a vent, a warning to others, and a way to express the hurt, the anger, the upset I’ve been feeling since my father died on February 26th. And then, just before I opened my site to write the post, I checked my TUT Thought from the Universe for this morning, and found the above. Once again the Universe found a way to smack me upside the head and tell me to think clearly. Just who was this St Valentine, anyway? We’ve all been asked the question, “What would you do if you had a million dollars?” What would your answer be? Would you be philanthropic with your money? Would you invest it in your future? Would you put your kids through college? Would you simply start by catching up on bills and debts? The dark days of winter lead me to odd contemplations, to mental meanderings, to vivid daydreams as I gaze out the frost-painted windows onto the cold, white landscape. One of those meanderings has been to revisit that old question. What would I do with a million dollars? Silent Night, Holy Night…. It’s a quiet day, somewhat melancholy, the silence of Christmas fills my home. Things change, they evolve, they grow, they die, and they always remain the same. Christmas time brings that to light in the most joyful … and sorrowful … way….. I was chatting in email with a friend this morning, and the topic of “vibration” came up. It’s had me thinking since, and as a pebble tossed into a pond spreads ripples toward the shore, those thoughts have led to this post. Vibration. Everything, whether it is something we think of as living, or something we [Click title to read post ...] My friend Sami, of “Life, Laughs and Lemmings“, is enjoying a superb vacation in Hawaii. In her absence, a number of her online buddies wrote guest posts to help keep her blog-mentum going. You remember Sami … the originator of ROAKA (Random Acts of Kick Arse)? Well, yours truly is privileged to be one of those [Click title to read post ...] Perspective. When it comes right down to it, everything we do in life centers around perspective. It’s really phenomenal how our point of view can change, too. The little things we so often simply take for granted can, with one bizarre turn of fate, become major issues. Things like walking, sleeping comfortably, being able to do the things we used to complain about (like weeding gardens and cleaning the house)…. It doesn’t take much to make one do a double-take and realize how important the seemingly unimportant details can really be. Reflections…. Those of us who do animal rescue get to see the darkest side of human nature … or at least one of the darkest sides. It’s easy, if one has been exposed to hoarders and abusers long enough, to become jaded regarding the nature of our fellow humans. For some, it takes effort to [Click title to read post ...] I’m on my second journey through The Artist’s Way. I went through the book and program several years ago, and am at a point in my life where I feel it’s once again important to tap into the creative energy of the universe.
