One of my greatest joys is grabbing my camera and then waiting for it! I hear the humming and know their path between the bottle brush and the fountain.A little closer.And now you can see why they are attracted to the plant.Decisions, decisions. Let’s check out the fountain…their next stop.They’re like clockwork every morning. Just…
Charity Event
When was the last time you went to a Charity Event, where the photographers were taking pictures of you as if you were a VIP? Well, until last night I hadn’t had that experience either. Turns out, I was included along with my guest; to not only watch a runway show, but also to be…
Beautiful Day
By now you know that this once, three times a week blog has landed safely and comfortably on a Sunday evening. Why, because I have this incredible opportunity to take my written voice and parlay it to my speaking voice. Happy talk, keep talking, happy talk! (South Pacific) It was always my goal, to have…
How Euphoric, A Statement, Not A Question.
I’m part of a terrific group of people that come together every Wednesday from 11-12 not too far from my house. We are Toastmasters, Speakers By The Sea. http://www.meetup.com/TOASTMASTERS-Speakers-by-the-Sea-Club/ When my friend first introduced me to Toastmasters last year, I thought I knew what this organization was all about. My preconceived notion was that if…
Summertime
I’m always trying to mix it up a little. I’m unable to embed a YouTube video; therefore it will have to be in the post description. I am my own Juke Box Hero…the songs continue throughout the day and night. It is often the inspiration behind these blogs. August has arrived; we are fully into…
Wouldn’t You Like To Get Away?
“Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got. Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot. Wouldn’t you like to get away?” I can’t think of an opening theme song that I like better than Cheers, “Where Everybody Knows You Name.” I’ve been home from my latest adventure…
You’ve Got a Friend in Me
Do you remember the Randy Newman song from Toy Story, You’ve Got A Friend In Me? Here are a few of the lyrics: You’ve got a friend in me You’ve got a friend in me When the road looks rough ahead And you’re miles and miles from your nice warm bed You just remember what…
Live And In Living Color
Do you remember when the peacock on NBC went from black and white to color in 1957? I still recall how exciting it was to see color on TV. I especially remember watching Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color. The announcer would say, “Live and in Living Color.” Then you’d hear the ding ding ding…and…
Relax and Breathe
How often do you give advice? How often do others give you advice? Advice comes in so many forms, some comes without warning, some comes unsolicited but generally advice is given out of love and concern for the most part. When things get complicated for me my best way of coping other than talking to…
Pushing My Boundaries
How often do you take a life assessment? Do you hear voices that guide you along your life path? Remember those cartoons long ago, where you saw the good guy on one shoulder whispering in the ear of the character and the bad guy whispering in the other ear? I’m not talking about loud or…
