I have this desire to spend my days making my life living art – tending my gardens, making my home more comfortable, supportive and inspiring, learning philosophy, theosophy, spirituality, macrobiotic and holistic, healthy cooking & baking, playing and laughing with my children and sacred partner, finally surfing (in warm water mind you I am a wuss when it comes to cold water and I admit it). My fantasy unravels out before me like a dream that is delicious and painful all at once. There is a change in the air and the cries of the suffering are heard by our Creator. So many wise men and women say. There is a day coming when we will build and occupy our own home, grow the food for our families, when weapons of war will be converted into tools to till the fields.

Tuesday night I had dinner at Holdren’s on State Street with my four lovely co-workers (NHR’s marketing department is comprised 100% of foxy ladies – and 1 male VP). I had the Seafood plate – Maine lobster, oysters, salmon and calimari. That was delish. I enjoyed a Sidecar drink and then 2 Peach mojitos. Nice…

- Raise up your shades and look at the sky! The moon is full and bright and high…It has a distinct blue ring, a bluish tone, she speaks to you if you can listen under the drone.  Her loving friend Venus hovers nearby…or is that Mars, making her cry?
Dear Friends,
 
Full Moon is Friday July 18 [...]

Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward, the sailors cry
Carry the lad that’s born to be king
Over the sea to skyeLoud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunder clouds rend the air;
Baffled our foe’s stand on the shore
Follow they will not dareSpeed bonnie boat….

Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep
Ocean’s a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head…

I woke up this morning thinking “I don’t want to get out of bed. I don’t want to go to work. I don’t want to ride my scooter.” I knew I was supposed to get up early for a doctor’s appointment but still it didn’t motivate me.
