playing for change ...

i love this ... there seems to be an increasing desire to connect to the larger world ... to let the the illusion of our separateness fall by the way side ...

http://playingforchange.com - From the award-winning documentary, "Playing For Change: Peace Through Music", comes the first of many "songs around the world" being released independently. Featured is a cover of the Ben E. King classic by musicians around the world adding their part to the song as it travelled the globe.

here's looking at you, miss nolly posh

the last sunset ...

this is the last sunset of winter ... from my backyard ... the sun moves into the constellation aries tomorrow morning at 7:44 am est and that's the spring equinox ... happy spring everyone! ... xoxo

bruiser died this afternoon ...

my dog died this afternoon ... it wasn't unexpected, he was older and hadn't been feeling well ... but it wasn't expected ...

he'd been abused horribly before he came to us ... someone had even cut up his ears ... he never fully recovered from all that, he was nervous sometimes ... but he was just a really nice & loving dog ... i'm always amazed how dogs remain loving even after being treated badly ...

i probably could have done better by him ... i feel like i could have, but i think he knew i loved him ... i hope so ...

Enough!

Just a thought …

There is enough …

Yes, really, there is enough for everyone and everything in every way.

We live in an endlessly abundant Universe that provides bountifully … when we choose to see it that way and to receive that bounty.

We can be expansive and live in a big and bountiful Universe … or we can contract and live in the small one that usually includes lack of some kind. Either way, lack or abundance, the world we live in is the one we create for ourselves.

When I wobble in that belief of an abundant Universe, and I think I may have lately, things don’t feel so … abundant. It’s not anything monetary, but where the synchronicity I usually notice reflects bounty, I’ve been seeing more and more the idea of lack and scarcity.

So, today, I’m working on staying expansive …

trying not to contract 

What about you? What does your Universe look like today?

XOXO

VEGAN. For the People. For the Planet. For the Animals.

Lori Andrews has Watercolor Classes!

Yay, it was so "warm" here yesterday ... above freezing ... maybe as warm as 45 at times ... snow was melting, I saw grass ... and it smelled a bit like spring. I realize we have a ways to go before it's really spring, but a little whiff of things to come was wonderful.


I wanted to tell you about Lori Andrews. She's a super talented watercolor artist ... and she's getting some online classes together. The first one will be on Stickam on February 28. As a live class, it's kind of different from many out there. It should be interesting for sure. Lori is sweet and very knowledgeable ... so if you're interested, check out her .ning group as well as the video below ...
