bowling on my mind

i see ten pins
i see my old shirts
i see the holy rollers
i sense my coach
i think of p b & j
i roar with laughter
my bright orange ball
my beauty filled burgundy bag
the weight of the ball
the stance
the aim
the thrill of watching
the follow through
into
a strike
i breathe in
i breathe out
bowling!

cinco de mayo

seven years ago today
i made an oath to myself to
discontinue any use of alocohol or
recreational drugs
the only one i have problems with is caffeine
which for me is really COFFEE
i have been in and out of the coffee loop
currently in
just started drinking acai juice which may help
me rethink
hoping my energy will shift
and i will find that space to energize within
without the use of what now to me is yummy coffee
friend of the morning
bringer of people together
sometimes i get angry because i do not know what to invite someone over for
it can be a challenge
especially when i am not grounded in my core
i breathe in
i breathe out
courage
happy may

it's time

there is time to do everything one wants to do in their life
today
this moment is the new beginning
following what makes one smile
shifting with the wind
becoming sensitive to your desires
and listening
holding tight to your rudder
let no one change your direction
until it's time
and now is all one has
find your carrot
and
run with glee
i breathe in
i breathe out
courage

searching for my north star

a gem of a site
coffeedrome
discover places to go that you may not have thought of
or knew about
friends, places, recipes, hobbies galore
enjoy
as i continue the search for my north star

waving the half-mast flag

the mourning
this morning
needs to be put in its place
the sadness of days gone by
needs to go bye
it is time to raise the freak flag
and fly into the dreams
imagining all those things
that can be
and being all that can be
all that is
it is time
to frame the unmasked flag
the half-mast flag
hello fear
goodbye fear
i breathe in
i breathe out
courage
excitement
and life
of love

bend stretch snap

move
shift
stretch
think
wait
ugh do not wait
wait
you only get good at waiting
do
be
kind
practise
practise
practise
remember
you have everything you need
create each day
each day
each moment
be here now
make a list
check it often
and go for it
remember you are not alone
remember acts of kindness
remember how much you love
remember gratitude
send love out to the world often
i breathe in
i breathe out
courage

the bra ball

holy cow today is the first day of the rest of my life
yesterday last day of the fiscal year : )
was my birthday
i walked thru the vermont quilt festival
which was toadally cool
i was reminded of how much i have inspired
and have been inspired
and continue to inspire
life is full and glorious
being around that energy stirs my creative heart
today it is sunny
and i plan to walk through the fest again
one quest is to find where
"the bra ball" lives
kids are in nyc with alex
this thing called life goes on
i breathe in
i breathe out
happiness
courage
love
