what can i do
good morning all! it’s uber early and i’m sending a bouquet your way to make sure to and smell the roses. (even if they’re ether :)
as i watch the news it’s apparent not everyone had a peaceful night as tornadoes hit texas and demolished homes and lives. many hit were under construction by habitat for humanity and it’s prompted me to get it together and finally register to work on the sites currently underway here in florida.
it was surprisingly easy to register and if you want to check it out in your neck of the woods, follow this link and choose by project or date from the calendar:
i’ll be heading to Liberty City which is one of the towns we usually just pass through (really fast) to reach our upholstery factory. it’s a community that is in desperate need of love and this is a chance to spread a little!
they need volunteers in all parts of the country so if you are working on a project or end up volunteering for one, let me know. well i’m off to get this day started. have a wonderful weekend!
fork in the road
good morning and happy tuesday! tuesday is reason enough to celebrate, isn’t it?
lately i’ve been torn between the status quo and moving in a different direction. i’m excited at the prospect of change. something yet undiscovered.
i blame it on a fortune cookie that said that i’d be switching professions. kind of vague but it planted a seed and for the first time in forever i’m playing with the idea of what taking a different direction would look like. how could i make the second half of my life a bit different than the first?
so i nope you’ll indulge me exploring the idea. still the same old me but looking at things in a new way, to see where i can fit in, make a difference! the first step is starting with myself, breaking bad habits and trying to be more conscious overall. ok well, more soon, til then, have a great day whatever you’re up to!
Happy Mother’s Day!

good morning and happy sunday all! it’s a bright and early morning and another chance to have a great day. sometimes that means lounging around and other times it’s getting out into the world and exploring. i came across this montage yesterday and it’s been on my mind ever since. there really is nothing like traveling is there?
it cures what ails us, sheds a different light on the world, makes our problems seem trivial and connects us in a way that only being there can do. i know myself well enough to know that wanderlust is coming on strong and maybe it’s time to book a trip. do you have plans this summer?
well so, even if we stay in one place we can still create something out of nothing! have a beautiful day where ever you go!

bonjour, sweet friends, Ça va bien? it’s close to midnight and just about time to close up shop for tonight. it’s utterly silent outside and i’m hoping for a good, deep sleep.

the events of the day all over the world have been hard to comprehend. when things get overwhelming it always makes me think about having some place to decompress and what a relief it can be.

i spent way too much time surfing images of those sorts of spaces but then again, they say the time you spend wasting is not wasted time. if you enjoy it, that is :)

so this is just a compilation of some inspiration i gathered to start my own sacred space beginning with the basics.

i’m thankful for a simple life and having the basics like clean water and a bed
i’m looking for the in between times, the quiet moments where there is peace.
trying to make sense of this life…i find stretching helpful

allo dear friends! i hope you’re having a grand weekend! it’s sunny here and finally time to put away the sweaters and break out the spring dresses. now that i’m a woman of a certain age, it’s become apparent that i have to adapt my style to reflect a more, if not mature, refined, me this summer.
but then, no matter where we’re from or what age, some things stand the test of time, even the stone age look can work today.

i’ve been here for about 2 minutes too long but wanted to stop by today with some sweet shots that kickstarted my morning. i’m still debating whether to get a dog or a cat. who do you have?
ok well i better get going, have a wonderful day! à bientôt!

hello guys, how’s your night? it’s after midnight so technically already tomorrow and i wanted to stop by and update the last post from earth day. when i posted about the world grid, some of your comments got me thinking about a truly wireless world so i started looking into it. please pardon the technical diversion but i got a little obsessed with what i found.
nicola tesla was known as the “father of free energy” about 100 years ago. he was praised and celebrated and even heralded as the “the man who invented the 20th century” for inventions such as the x-ray, neon and fluorescent lights, motors, generators, coils, robotics, radar, remote control, scalar energy, the system at niagra falls and the humble radio to name just a few (he had 700 patents)
(above is the westinghouse booth where some of his inventions were on display at the world’s fair in 1901).

his last and possibly most important invention was the wardenclyffe tower which in the few test runs it had, was able harness the earth’s power using the electromagmetic field, the ionosphere and solar energy.
i’m not sure about the technical part but somehow hot air in the aether could help transmit energy world wide. he was determined to use the earth’s natural frequencies instead of coal, oil or gas. his dream was for everyone to have access to electricity that was free and could be easily tapped.
he was truly the ‘electricity whisperer’
local exeriments at the time showed it worked beautifully but when the backer of the project (JP Morgan)! realized it could upset the world’s fossil fuel industries, he pulled the plug (so to speak) and said if he ‘couldn’t put a meter on it’ then it wasn’t going to happen. that simple act changed world history and tesla’s life. he fell from grace and became broke and ridiculed. and, well, we know what we’ve been up to ever since!
surprising how everyone turned on him. he simply said the world may not have been ready for it at that point:
Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine. -Nikola Tesla
i wonder if we have the ability to pick up where he left off?
as he said:
i sure hope so. bueller?
tapping into the world grid

hi guys, happy earth day! i hope you had a good monday. personally, i’m winding down but just wanted to stop by and say hi on this great day of reverence for the planet. if i didn’t do what i do i’d have been an archaeologist and really take the time to study this glorious globe. i love cave paintings, stone carvings, obelisks, ancient texts and the mostly the mysteries behind each of each of them.
earth day seemed like the perfect time to explore a question i’ve always had about how the ancient sites are laid out, where they are on the planet and how they may act as a grid we can follow to tap into some of the earth’s unseen energy resources. when i googled it just now i was pretty surprised to see how ridiculously ‘on the grid’ they actually are. i’d love to be smart enough to know what to do with the information. i’d harness the power of a summer solstice and fuel the planet for a year! maybe thinking about it will spark an idea in a bright mind on how to crack the code.
well that’s one of my many earth day hopes anyway. on the homefront, candy and i have started our new green philosophy: share everything :)
well i hope you enjoy some food for thought. have a great night!
