It is not always physical bravery that counts.

One must have the courage to face life as it is,

to go through sorrows

and always sacrifice oneself for the sake of others.
African Traditional Religions Kipsigis Saying (Kenya)

monday musings

Each state we encounter will succumb to the next. There is no way to avoid the transitions of our life. The chief means of entering them gracefully is to practice them mindfully over and over again. It is like learning to ride a horse: over and over again walking, trotting, cantering, over smooth and rough terrain, mounting and dismounting, starting and stopping, until it becomes possible for us to move through life in a graceful conscious way. In moving through the difficult stages of our lives, we can learn to trust our heart to these cycles and their unfolding as surely as we can trust roots to go down and leaves to push up through the earth in our garden We can trust each petal of a flower will open in the right order from outside to inside. We can trust that whatever calls our attention to practice ~ our body, our personal history, the community around us ~ it will bring to us what we need to live fully and genuinely in the timeless here and now.

Excerpted from A Path With Heart ~ Jack Kornfield

God rest their souls ~ we will remember them ~ always

need I say more?

I am sure every single person remembers where they were when they first saw those planes fly into the WTC. it was late at night on September 11 for me ~ and NY was just beginning their day. I was online on AOL, chatting to my friend who lives in Rochester NY about my planned trip to New York city in December. I had just paid & booked my flight a few days before. then I saw the words that she had typed : "oh my God" - a plane has hit the World Trade centre". I ran to the television and watched in horror as those events unfolded. five years later, I am still watching, still not believing that it happened. wondering if we have learnt anything from this?

Like everyone said - that day changed the world forever.

I did end up going to NY that December ~ those New Yorkers - gotta love them! they are definitely a breed of their own (in the nicest way of course!) One of my bestest ever friends lives there on Staten Is. A proud Yankees fan!

I must tell you sometime, about my trip to that gorgeous place.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday.
*Baz Luhrmann*

EVERY MAJOR ACHIEVMENT BEGAN AS A SMALL THOUGHT

'EVERYDAY DO ONE THING THAT SCARES YOU'

and with that lovely crazy bit of musing & before I change my mind - I will unveil my scary thing for today - my photo of my Annie Lennox hair cut -

this is scary for me to post, there is another shot, a full one of me in my bikini but NO WAY will I post that. I often wonder why most of us are 'scared' to post photos of ourselves. is it because we are embarrassed, vain or very critical of ourselves?

this was taken in 1987 and I DO NOT look like this now, believe me!
