Dreams

I am sittting here on my last night in New Hampshire. I was very fotunate to give myself the gift of SOLITUDE for a whole month to write a book.
It has been a wonderful month be in a summer town in winter. The whole town was empty which allowed me to focus at the task at hand without any distractions.

I was very fortunate to experience the beach at winter for the first time which was magical.

I am now sitting here getting ready to watch the Academy Awards which is my favorite day of television.
I love watching the show because it remids me to continue to DREAM.

Wishing you all dreams realized.

KEEP DREAMING.

Love

Happy Valentines Day.

As I was taking my morning walk to day I had a realization about love.

SELF LOVE

The most important love and the hardest to attain.

What a gift that would be if we were all able to love self.

Not the love of a spouse, child, family  or friend is as important as love of SELF.

I am not saying these other loves are not important.  They are VERY IMPORTANT.

It would be great if we were able to experience the unconditional love of self as we get from our pets.

If we were able to experience that,,we would not allow the love or lack of love by all others to define our SELF WORTH.

Just something to think about.

Wishing you all a life filled with love.

Reconnection

Today was yet another glorious day, that started with a very brisk walk on the beach.
My life is good!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am loving the journey that I am now on.

Last night I had the opportunity to reconnect with a dear friend that I had the pleasure of working with twenty-three years ago. She and I had three hours of present effortless conversation.
So refreshing to speak with someone who gets it. She does not allow her self to be taken out of the here and now. It is not about her needing to send a text or check her cell phone or her ipad or see who sent her a message on facebook.......It was so nice knowing that when each of us were speaking we were being heard.

Again this afternoon another conversation with a friend that I lost track of over the past seven years.
Just nice to be reconnected.  I am truly greatful.

It really is such a shame how much of todays culture misses out on thinking they are connected.
It is really kind of ironic with all of the technology of today and ways to connect.

We are more DICONNECTED than ever.


I say keep it simple and reconnect with things and people that matter.

You will be glad you did.

Have a wonderful weekend.

P.S  Writing this entry allowed me to procrastinate a little longer. LOL

Gifts

I just returned from from taking a walk on the beach in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.  It is a glorious day today the sun is shining bright.......Although it is cold around 18 degrees. OUCH.
The beach of course did not have a single soul on it.
For me that was pure perfection. I was able to walk and enjoy the beauty before me.

I am here working on a project.  I am writing a book, which I am hoping to have finished and published by years end.

I decided to rent a condo in this summer beach town, during the winter.  It is a ghost town.
I did that so I would have no distractions.

I just yesterday finished ready 26 years of journals.

Talk about Food for the Soul........Very theraputic.

I must say, I really am so happy, that I am on the journey of self discovery that I am on.

I am very blessed. I wish that for you all as well.

Give your self the GIFT.

Peace.

GRATITUDE

Just returned from Haiti where I had the pleasure to work alongside Lesly Pinard who I met on my frirst trip after the Earthquake. 
I was accompanied by the son of a lifelong friend as well as a hometown friend who is a nurse. I was thrilled to be able to share the experience with them both.
 This trip was a great in the sense that we were able to provide medical treatment, food, clothes and toys to those displaced by the quake.

We visited the mass grave which was VERY INTENSE.
We also got to visit the school that I helped to build in April.  It was so great to see the children at the school continuing their education and healing in progress.

My heart was so full, by the smiles these children so freely give. They are such a joy.

We were also able to experience and see some of the beauty of the island. It really is a beautful island.

I just want to express my gratitude to all of you who opened up your hearts and were able to make donations.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

Please keep Haiti in your thoughts....They are still in great need.

Peace
