Do you have a dream?
How big is this dream in your heart?
How long has it been there?
Would you regret it at the end of your life if you didn’t do it?
You can have many dreams and aspirations. Live them now or work towards them today and you won’t have any regrets. If you keep saying “someday”, you are losing time.
Sometimes I have to ask myself is it worth it?
Usually I hesitate if it is a money issue.
If it is an emotional one, I really need to think it through.
I know most people who want to get better will pay any amount to do so. But if it involves any inner work or healthier practices on their part, not so much. If they can pop a pill, that’s better and it is quicker yet it is masking symptoms of something ailing you from deep within.
When you don’t deal with the core issue, it’s going to come back in a different form.
“It should be pointed out that physical treatment
is but a small part of the picture.” – William Wilson

ABT does it again! A wonderful performance with outrageously expensive and luxurious (miles of fabric) costumes made in New York and Italy. Even the scenery was constructed and painted in La Scala, Milan, Italy. Amazing music by our very own OC Pacific Symphony conducted by Carl St. Clair.
We are lucky to have the World Premiere of the original 1890 production of The Sleeping Beauty with music by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa, as seen for the first time in St. Petersburg, presented here in our own county, just minutes away.
It is grand to have the arts available right around the corner.
A personal note: We almost didn’t go. The blues are starting to hit hard after Nana’s passing. So glad we did though. It was an experience even in a somewhat reluctant mood.
Our guides and angels want to hear our prayers as cries for help, guidance, assistance, gratitude, confusion, pain and suffering. The divine wants to listen.
They want for us: only good, only healing, only wellness. Their intention is to help us share, blossom and be joyous!
If you are not in touch with your angels yet and are willing to invoke them: Meditate. Then describe what is in your heart and if you don’t know, ask. Breathe deeply. Ask the angels to come to you. You will be surrounded by your angels when you ask in stillness and with the highest intentions.
Find your bliss with the help of your angels. Be Content. At Peace. Grateful. Open hearted.

As my son seeks snow in Tahoe this weekend, my daughter basks in the white powder back in NYC.
Meanwhile, I snip my organic lettuces, herbs and flowers and dine outdoors.
Intend to awaken with positive energy. Project your goal to do the highest good today and be Peace. Remember that Love is at the Center of all things.
Love is what we need in order to survive and evolve as a species; in order to protect our habitat and in order to respect Mother Earth and its creatures.
Love is what drives, motivates and inspires inventions, the arts and leaps of knowledge. It is what tames anger, fear and insecurities.
Evaluate the importance of having the intention to love and nurture yourself, first. From there you will be balanced enough to create loving boundaries for yourself – for having none helps no one. When you allow anyone to treat you poorly, you are both not serving your higher purpose or honoring your highest selves.
Love is what transmutes, transforms and evolves everything to a higher level.
Love IS the missing link; it is the spark of creation, it is where everything good and right manifests from.
Yesterday, Nana passed away peacefully in her own bed, before sunrise. We all loved her very much. She was born in Queens, NY to a strong and stoic German woman and her carpenter husband. She was the youngest child and one of the most beautiful women I have ever met in person. She will be in our hearts always.

Who do you guide in this lifetime and whom do you follow?
What stages of life have changed you and which ones have easily shifted you to a whole new level?
What gives meaning and purpose to your existence?
How do you interact, teach and speak to others?
Which tools and techniques are you willing to share and which do you feel possessive of?
What would you like validated and by whom?
Who reminds you of yourself?
When you encourage others or create anything, what is your motive and what is your inspiration?
What do you look forward to and what would you like to forget about?
Answering these questions is an eye opener and an exercise in introspection.
Instead of working tirelessly, maybe work diligently. Think about your vision, acknowledge your success and make your life your vocation.
Help others and see yourself as helped. It takes a generous, big-hearted person to volunteer but it takes a humble person to accept, and a gracious person to do both willingly and with gratitude.
There is no right way or wrong turn – There is only very me and authentic you. There is no better or worse for everyone. There’s only what fits for me and what works for you.
Thank all the people whom have supported, encouraged and lifted you.
Apologize to all the people you wish you could make amends to.
For there is but a short visit to this planet, before our timed departure.
