Oceanic Treasure: Free for the Taking

Think of it as artistic gold.  Mile after fish choking mile, debris from God knows where travels across the ocean to land forever in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, or one of the other recently discovered oceanic trash-fills growing like The Blob in our beautiful Earth’s waters.  But, what if we could do something extraordinary with [...]

Peace is Flowing from the Conestoga River!

Wow!  What a treat to have my friend Kate Loving Shenk join us today on stop #18 of her virtual book tour!  Kate’s message today is simple, yet profound.  ”We are all recovering from something” says Kate.  I agree, and for one am healing, and getting stronger every day.  Kate has the anecdote for us all [...]

Channeling Freddie

It’s a little ironic.  I started having an unexplainable and lasting surge of emotion for Freddie Mercury of Queen yesterday.   Bohemian Rhapsody was the first music video I ever saw.  I remember watching it during The Midnight Special.  As soon as stores were open, I ran out and got the first Queen album I could get my hands on.  [...]

Peaceful Waters

  Grouped next to each other in their little corner of my newest addiction (Pinterest), is a collection of pins depicting my passion for the ocean.  Back in the fall I took on a challenge at Squidoo to make 30 lenses on one niche.  I chose “deep water exploration” and ended up with such a [...]

Color Intervention

The area between San Diego and Tijuana hosts a biannual "Interzone Festival" or "Festival Tijuana Interzona".  This year's festival included an Urban Renewal project, where artists from all over were invited to spruce up outside walls of buildings scattered all over the poorest parts of the area.   The resulting art is fascinating, healing and humourous, yet [...]

#NoMoreRecession ~ A Hashtag for Good

 It’s a simple idea, really.  Think of one thing people can do to help someone hurting because of the Recession, and tweet it with the hashtag #NoMoreRecession .   You know how sometimes you get that “lightbulb” in your head?  Maybe it was a great idea that could help us dig ourselves out of this [...]

Same Sauce

Sometimes my poor hearing is beneficial.  I was listening to a speech by the Dalia Lama on my ear buds today, and he said “We are all made by God. We all come from the same source”.  I was trying to multitask, however and mis-heard it as “same sauce”.   So, I decided to ponder [...]

Why it Doesn’t Have to be so Hard

So many times in my life and work, I come across people who seem  shrouded in misery.  Everything they say is something about a horrible thing that happened to them, or to someone else, or is happening somewhere in the world. Everything they do revolves around something painful or miserable.  It’s almost like we seek [...]
