6MO OLD PUPPY, LIKE A KID AT COLLEGE!

He looks peaceful; now, doesn't he? You'd never guess that he is a bouncy little guy. My daughter called to report to me all the 'bad habits' her new little bundle of joy, Tate was acquiring. His chewing and bouncing around like Tigger on Winne the Pooh! All I could do was laugh. It reminded me of exactly why we sent our children off to college; so that we didn't have to watch all the mischievous behavior that comes with growing, exploring and learning about this big beautiful world we live in.
What I have come to see is that everything that we do, all the situations, people and relationships that we attract to ourselves are simply tools to help us to see ourselves more clearly and discover the life lessons that we have come to this earth to learn. What may seem like failure, simply isn't so. Henry Ford says it like this: Failure is simply an opportunity to begin again...more intelligently the next time!
So the next time you get 'down' on yourself because things didn't go the way you had planned, just remember to be kind to yourself and know that you are doing great! Every thing is in Divine Order. I'll leave you with this one last thought: We Plan and God Laughs!

SAYING 'YES' TO WHAT SHOWS UP IN LIFE!


Hi all, I am back in Northern California, housesitting for a friend in downtown Sacramento. I was very excited to be able to 'try on' living in the city. I had big plans for walking every day, doing yoga, not using the car at all, just trying city life on to see if it fit.
Well, much to my dismay and surprise, I found myself in a major contraction, otherwise known as a panty twist! I spent most of the 10 days totally away from my original intention. I was in bed much of the time, crying most of the time. I came to realize that these times of alone space, mingled with friends, family and travels, is a time for integrating what I had learned and experienced from my last adventure.
I found myself not being too gentle with my lack of commitment. However upon closer observation, I realized that I was really honoring myself, giving myself exactly what I needed, however that looks. I'm leaving for Peru in the morning. I'll leave you with this beautiful rainbow from Ireland. Cheers!
