Sitting up in my room...

So it's a beautiful morning and I'm about to pour my first cup of java and pay a few bills. My roommate is out of town and so I have the whole, entire, house to myself. It's just me and the hum of the oscillating fan, a great cup of coffee and the prospects of what this day holds.

Mani, Pedi, Farmer's Market, DSW and black Italian leather (whoo-hoo), UP!, testing out green drinks and maybe a dvd guitar lesson with Esteban. You know? I don't have all the things that I want in life but at this very moment I am so happy, so fortunate to be in this place surrounded by my own altars- physical manifestations of my inner being.

My coffee mug says "Deja Brew: The feeling that you've had this coffee before." Only this "feeling" is more like something I've done in a past life. It's too normal and comfortable for my soul not to have done it before. The restfulness and peace that accompanies this simple act of being has been felt before. I'm grateful for the continuity, even if I don't fully understand the continuum.

Be Well,

A funny thing happened on the way...

A funny thing happened on the way to finishing my evening routine. This happened a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier about it (well- I could think of a few more things that could happen relative to it and that would rate in the ecstatic category).

Okay so, I'm flipping through channels and I come across a commercial spot for a show starring Dhani Jones. My first thought was "Wow, there's a Brother on the Travel Channel and he has his own show." My second thought was "I wonder who Dhani Jones is." My first instinct was to watch it no matter what. In an instant, I vowed to watch this new show and give him my support. It's hard to really explain it but I felt protective of him. Right, wrong or indifferent, that's the only way I can describe it. I just wanted him to do well and to be alright.

There are some out there who will understand my feelings and others who won't. I'm not here to justify it. It is what it is. So, I'm tuning in to watch this show (Dhani Tackles the Globe) and I'm checking out the Travel Channel website, then I'm going to Dhani55 (his personal website), following him on Twitter and I'm saving pictures from the Travel Channel website. Whew!

That's a lot. Needless to say the show is great and the concept is greater. It is the freshest thing I've seen on television in a really long time. Leave it to the Travel Channel to come up with something like this. As a network it never ceases to amaze and Dhani Jones, as the Freshman of the lot truly delivers. I received a tweet that Season 2 of the show is in the works. Martha Stewart would call that a "Good Thing". I concur.

Dhani- I can tell someone who truly loved you and had great influence over you- rubbed your head and stroked your brow when you were a baby. That same person maybe sang songs to you as well. They imparted something special to you. You don't get to do what you've done (and no doubt will continue to do) without an internal compass that has been directed at "True North" by the ones who love you most.

Be Well,
